Sugar & Cancer: How What You Eat Creates the Environment Cancer Needs to Grow

Episode 330· Streamed Live On May 20, 2026· InsulinResistanceNaturalHealthtype2diabetes

Cancer cells have a secret: they're addicted to sugar. And most people, including many doctors, have never been told that what you eat every single day may be creating the environment cancer needs to thrive.

In this eye-opening episode, Dr. Saunders breaks down the science of how sugar feeds cancer, why insulin is a growth hormone that promotes tumor growth, and what you can do right now to stop creating that fertile environment in your body.

What you'll learn:
✅ The Warburg Effect — why cancer cells run almost exclusively on sugar
✅ How insulin and other growth hormones directly promote cancer growth
✅ Why fructose is especially dangerous — and what it does to blood vessel growth in tumors
✅ The role of fasting and ketogenic diets in starving cancer cells
✅ Why keeping your anabolic and catabolic states separate reduces cancer risk
✅ How alcohol creates carcinogens inside your body — no exceptions
✅ The promising research on Ivermectin and cancer treatment
✅ A stage four prostate cancer case study — and what happened with a metabolic approach

Plus, Dr. Saunders answers viewer questions on fruit intake, alkaline environments, ivermectin for cancer, Epstein-Barr virus, metformin alternatives, blood sugar that won't come down, and more.
