Bettina M Brown (00:00):
Hello and welcome to this In the Rising
Short.
I just had a really goodconversation with Dr Nicole
Avina, who is a neuroscientisttrying to understand and does
research on the connectionbetween mood, weight, sugar and
addiction.
So what does that have toactually do with cancer?
In a recent blog post by JackieSee, a Mayo Clinic dietician,

(00:24):
titled Sugar's Role in Cancer,she states flat out that sugar
does not cause breast cancer,but it definitely can help
increase your weight and thereis a connection between weight
and cancer, particularly breastcancer, thyroid and ovarian
cancer.
In a recent research article inthe journal at Cancer, the

(00:47):
title is understanding the linkbetween sugar and cancer an
examination of the preclinicaland clinical evidence.
And ultimately let's get rightdown to the results and
conclusion.
And they believe there is adirect link between sugar and
cancer and some of theirpreclinical studies show that
those individuals that hadhigher rates of consumption even

(01:08):
in adolescence, had a higherrisk of having cancer later in
life, and this is especiallyassociated with breast cancer.
So what are we to believe?
Right?
Are we supposed to eat eggs ornot eat eggs?
Are we supposed fat-free haveor not fat free?
Certainly, there is a veryclear line that we're having an
immense amount of sugar in ourdiet and ultimately, if we could

(01:32):
reduce that to truly morenormal levels, that we will have
less inflammation, better moodand better health, and when we
have all of those three, we makeit harder for cancer to survive
and thrive.
So those are my two cents.
I have the links below to thearticles and I encourage a
discussion, so please reach outto Bettina@ intherising.
