How many cells are in fruits?

They say that cancer cells feeds on sugar,how about fruits,is it sugar too?

  • Answer:

    All living cells feed on sugar and anyone who tells you that you can stop a cancer from growing by simply not eating sugar either does not understand cancer biology or is living in La La land. If you have a cancerous tumor and you do not consume one calorie of sugar, your body will still convert every particle of your existing muscle and fat into glucose to feed that tumor until either you die of starvation or from the tumor itself. Most likely you'd die of starvation before the cancer would kill you. Fruits contain sugar. If you do have cancer, eat as healthy diet as you can but do not fall victim to the fallacy that avoiding all sugar will stop a cancer from growing.

Excellent answer from quijibored. But if you're getting confused by the ph, acid/alkaline answers you're getting, please read this article which will give you the facts: Acid/Alkaline Theory of Disease Is Nonsense by Gabe Mirkin, M.D. http://www.quackwatch.org/01QuackeryRelatedTopics/DSH/coral2.html EDIT**: Steve F, no need to be wary of Quackwatch, it is an excellent site dedicated to combating ' health-related frauds, myths, fads, and fallacies'. You are mistaken; Gabe Mirkin is a MD. You are thinking of Dr Barrett, also an MD but not practising, against whom there has been a huge libel campaign since 1999.

Almost everything you eat is eventually turned into a sugar in your body by digestion. All cells use sugar for energy.

Pick up the pH Balance book by Robert Young. It is very interesting and will really help you understand what does feed your body and what does not. The short answer is that some fruit is good, others are very high in sugar and are harder on your body.

I agree with GingerB, returning your body to a proper ph balance is essential for good health.You can either be more acid than alkaline, or vice versa. The more alkaline you are the more healthy you are. Alkaline foods include: veggies, bright colored fruits (like berries, grapes, tomatoes), whole wheat rice, fish, all that good stuff. Acid foods are the foods we usually eat like coffee, sugar, meat, potatoes, etc. It is almost impossible for cancer to grow in a alkaline environment

Stef and others had great answers on the acid/alkaline issue. Be wary of the quackwatch site, he is not an MD, he's a psychiatrist and a known fraud. Read http://www.canlyme.com/quackwatch.html. It is true that an alkaline blood pH creates an environment distasteful for cancer to thrive. If you eat a lot of garbage and create an acid environment, cancer thrives. You can't get away with just injesting a bunch of calcium to get your blood pH alkaline - it takes diet.
