Then I am sorry but you where not clear because " you're basically saying most foods are cancer food" I said this statement is true

yes

Sugar isn't cancer food, although it is definitly a lot less healthy than lipids and protiens and normal carbohydrates (not fructose or sucrose)

Well most cancers feed of sugar. That doesnt mean sugar causes cancer though, however table sugar is refined and highly inflammatory so probably does. Sugar from good sources like fruits, honey, and maple syrup probably is not carcinogenic

you can find a variety of sugars in different foods

Ya but my point was sugar is cancer if its from a bad source.

And ofcourse moderation

Is important

i agree with moderation

but the term "bad source" is somewhat misleading

because it's about the sugar itself and how your body breaks it down

I was at a mind-body-soul expo (my wife likes to buy cool rocks at these, I'm no hippie) and there was a presentation going on for alkaline water and how it *cures cancer* and *buy an alkalizing water machine for $3000* to make your body alkaline, cure cancer and be healthy. I couldn't believe they actually made the claim.

fructose isn't a bad sugar, but excessive consumption will cause medical issues

It makes me so mad to think of all those poor people with cancer hoping for any sort of miracle that can help them, willing to shell out thousands of dollars they don't have to snake oil salesmen.

fun fact glucose is slightly flammable

on the fire diamond it has a 1

Bad source is not really a misleading term. Refined Sugar depletes your body of vitaminss and minerals. Natural sources of sugar usually contain those same nutrients that you risk losing. They also contain enzymes that help with the absorption and breaking down of sugar.

at this point we really aren't talking just about sugars anymore

All im trying to say sugar on paper is not equal

You probably know that too

i see

what are your examples of good and bad sources

Table sugar is bad

High fructose corn syrup

A good one would be honey

Maple syrup

Date syrup

Those contain similar amounts of sugar

Im a bit biased towards honey since im a worlwide honey collector myself

I might exaggerate its benefits 😂

honey and hfcs have very similar chemical makeups

both contain fructose and glucose in water

however honey is 30% water while hfcs is about 25% water

maple syrup is 66% sugar, with the majority of that being sucrose (table sugar)

Right but honey has tons of befencial enzymes and good bacteria. As well as a good mineral composition

Not to mention different types of honey have other benfefits too like providing a natural antibiotic affect. As well as healing wounds

hfcs is basically refined honey

No

Corn syrup is produced from corn dude

They extract the sugar from the corn, and then mix it with water and fructose
