Beating Cancer with Nutrition · Sugar feeds Cancer: diet and supplements can starve tumors · Nutrition makes chemo and radiation more toxic to the tumor while protecting the patient · Nutrition changes underlying causes of cancer, improving outcome for cancer patients regardless of other therapies.
