Cancer
and Sugars Role in It - Cancer cells require the same amino
acids, carbohydrates, fats, vitamins, and minerals for their growth and
reproduction as do normal cells –– but in vastly different
quantities and ratios. This fact alone raises the question about whether
or not a traditionally "nutritious" diet can actually help fight
cancer. Or does such a diet help fuel the growth of cancer?

The high-protein, low-carbohydrate diet popularized by Dr. Robert Atkins
has been the subject of heated debate in medical circles for three decades.
Now, preliminary research findings at Duke University Medical Center show
that a low-carbohydrate diet can indeed lead to significant and sustained
weight loss.

risk found in french fries (By Low
Carb Living) -
The research carried out at Stockholm University in cooperation with experts
at Sweden's National Food Administration, a government food safety agency,
showed that heating of carbohydrate-rich foods, such as potatoes, rice
or cereals formed acrylamide, a much studied substance classified as a
probable human carcinogen.
Bread & Potatoes may lead to cancer (By Low
Carb Living) -
Research carried out by scientists at Stockholm University's department
of environmental chemistry showed starch, a carbohydrate found in cereals
and potatoes, transforms into acrylamide when heated up, the daily newspaper
Expressen reported on its Internet Web site.

As nutrition experts debate the ideal combination of protein, carbohydrates
and fat that people should eat, new research explains for the first time
how and why a moderately high protein diet may be the best for losing
weight.
Harvard
heartt disease study supports protein (By lowcarb.ca)
-The study's objective was to examine the relation between protein intake
and risk of IHD. The primary endpoint was nonfatal myocardial infarction
or fatal ischemic heart disease occurring between 1980 and 1994. Compared
with the lowest protein-intake group, women with the highest protein intake
were 26% less likely to develop IHD over the study period.
