Well, I would not recommend sugar to anyone, as it has no health benefits & many negative health effects, but there does not seem to be any legitimate research backing the claim that it directly feeds tumor growth.

Blood glucose levels are not dependent upon refined sucrose consumption, Shmoopy.

You can't change in midstream. Sugar now = sucrose and not a whole panoply of molecules?

The discussion was regarding refined sugar consumption, so I am not changing in midstream. Refined sugar = sucrose The brain is not dependent upon consumption of sucrose, it is dependent upon adequate blood glucose levels.

Cool article Veritas. It's tough to get away from that sugar. The only thing to drink without it seems to be water. 1% milk doesn't have much though. I think even though the sugar in milk and juice isn't necessarily refined sugar it seems to have the same effect.

The lactose in milk & fructose in fruit do have a similar effect on blood sugar levels. Eating whole fruit slows the effect, as it also contains fiber. Milk, IMO, is for infants. I like to drink fresh veggie juice.

What veggies/veggie combination would you say makes the healthiest or tastiest drink? I've been drinking v8 but never thought to make one fresh.

Here's a link to my favorite juicing book:
Juicing Bible
Experiment with different combos until you find one that you like. V8 is very high in sodium & must be pasteurized before bottling.

These is no source. First of all how many researches are there being made of cannabis, an illegal plant? Second of all, if something like that would have been revealed, we would have already known.
Hmmmm, Yes, we would of already known - I think this justifies my point about research!??
