Amen!
>>I hate those. The video goes on and on and on and on and on and on and never gets to the point.
Reminds me of the promos for the nightly news.
“Tune in tonight to learn what you have lurking in your refrigerator that can possibly be killing you!”
Um if you have such life threatening news and cannot reveal it up front, you don’t really care about my life and longevity.
It's the Poo-porrii girl.
I take it this is a same trick Karen Carpenter used.
heh heh
Someone will be along shortly and post a link to a video that will explain how you’re wrong...
Contradictions at every turn:
11> b. Milk causes the body to produce mucus, especially in the gastro-intestinal tract. Cancer feeds on mucus. By cutting off milk and substituting with unsweetened soy milk cancer cells are being starved.

Because estrogen can promote the development, growth, and spread of breast cancers, doctors have worried that eating a lot of soy foods or soy isoflavones (which can be taken as a dietary supplement) might worsen the prognosis of women diagnosed with breast cancer. ... soy protein (70 women)Sep 5, 2014
Soy is heavily processed foodstuff too and to suggest that it be used as a replacement for things is not a good idea.
I learned something from this thread. I wasn’t aware of the sugar cancer connection.

Well, there IS that way
There is a sugar everything connection. Diabetes, heart disease, inflammation of arteries and joints, fat retention....
Your conclusion is correct but I would like to add some detail to augment your explanation.
Basically, every cell in your body needs some form of “SUGAR!” to survive as do cancer cells. “Blood sugar” or glucose is the primary source of energy for most of the cells in your body. When your blood sugar level drops below a certain level, your brain cells stop functioning, you lose consciousness, you stop breathing and you die. Sugars are not inherently bad, just as fats, proteins, oxygen, and water are not inherently bad. These are all ingredients that are necessary for us to live.
The problems caused by eating too many sweet foods are largely related to digestive and metabolic processes, and the way that your body reacts to eating sweet foods. And of course people's bodies often react far differently to various foods depending on a wide variety of factors. But in the United States especially people tend to eat vastly more sugar in their foods than what our bodies need.
Our consumption of sweet foods has “skyrocketed” in recent decades. “In 1822 Americans consumed an average of 45 grams of sugar every five days, or the amount of sugar in one can of coke.” “In 2012, Americans consumed an average of 756 grams of sugar every five days, that’s 130 pounds of sugar a year.” This is a huge change in diet and our bodies just do not handle this very well in many cases.

Unfortunately, the explanations given in the link above are somewhat oversimplified and not completely accurate, but like your explanation they seem to come to the correct conclusion.
Missing in nearly all explanations of why sugary processed foods are not very healthy is this... processed foods simply do not contain a wide enough variety of nutrients to support a healthy gut flora. More and more studies have suggested in recent years that there is a very high correlation between a healthy gut flora and a strong and properly functioning immune system.
The proportion of sugar in candy and processed foods especially... is causing essential healthy bacteria in our intestines to die out and be replaced by bacteria that are less healthy and less diverse. This is most likely the primary reason eating less processed and less sugary foods increases your chances for good health.
Carry around all of that bacon didn’t contribute to a long life for the pig, either.
Which is why I use coconut milk (Silk brand).
Actually, you’re wrong.
All carbohydrates are turned into glucose by the liver. It doesn’t matter if you eat pure white cane sugar, a bag of candy corn, a loaf of wonder bread, a pot of sticky white rice, some mac and cheese... It’s turned into glucose.
I would add that processed foods tend to be high in calories and low in nutrients which contributes to obesity. Being overweight is very unhealthy.
It is indeed sugar. Another reason low carb diets are best for you! Meat, chees, eggs, veggies other than corn or carrots. Dark greens mostly.
You’re just using facts to support your position.
