Macmillan promoting CANCER

Been done before and quite recently.

Yup, that's what the pharmaceutical companies like to see.

I like granulated sugar, I like girls, I like SWEET thangs.

Natural, unrefined, brown sugar is defo better than that white sh1t.

"White sh1t"

I don't think a cake and coffee morning is promoting cancer...can some of please get a grip!

Yes, I agree all left wingers should be held in TIGHT GRIP around the throat.

ebulGery said, "I don't think ... "

Obviously.

A large media prominent company is endorsing sugar consumption by saying hold cake mornings all around the country. We should be persuading people that sugar is probably the main root cause of cancer and heart disease, instead they get the message that sugar is fine. There are a lot of good hearted people working for these organisations but they are being misled by this kind of policy.

I know you believe what you are saying

But I do not think a cake now and again is going to kill anybody

They are trying to raise money to fight cancer, I agree it is a terrible disease

there are people on here who may have lost people to cancer, I commiserate with them

still each to our opinion

' a cake now and then, a cigarette now and then, a glass of alcohol now and then .....'

Very true, in absolute moderation it /they shouldn't kill you. But the message to convey, is the ' bigger picture '

Like smoking, like alcohol, SUGAR is a killer. The trouble is , it's innocuous. Because it's in most of the refined/processed foods we eat and drink. Including staple diets like bread.

Wonder why people are fat, with enormous bellies. It ain't through eating fatty foods, it's  the massive consumption of sugar.
Try a test. Weigh yourself, then, Stop eating bread and breakfast cereals made from wheat ( which is vast majority) for a week. Then weigh yourself again.  You will have lost pounds ! And it will be from around your middle. Keep away from wheat products and you will be much slimmer,fitter and healthier.

You forgot teeth.  Rots the feckers like ****, I've got a mouthful of fillings to prove it.  Programme last night about kids have all their teeth removed because of sugar.

What has sugar got to do with cancer please ?

When you eat carbohydrates like sugar, you end up with a certain amount of glucose in the bloodstream. This causes insulin to be released and bind with insulin receptors on your fat cells. This fuels the cells and so they grow. Cancel cells have insulin receptors too and are in fact dominant when there’s glucose about, as PET scans can show, they devour most it.

You can understand why no one is told to cut carbs and go for fats when they have cancer, because this information was only discovered very very recently by Otto Warburg (and is called the Warburg Effect), in the 1920s.
