According to the publication, the idea to use the refusal of sugar as a method of cancer is based on the discovery, which was made in 1924 by German physician Otto Heinrich Warburg. He concluded that the growth of cancerous tumors in the body may be related to the fact that tumor cells were fed with food coming sugar which they were synthesized to lactic acid. "Tumor cells of lactic acid is required, because it degrades the surrounding tissues and cells, thus obtaining more space for its growth. In addition, it makes them less susceptible to chemotherapy and radiotherapy, "- said edition of the browser.

As an example, he cited the experiments conducted by researchers Ulrika Kemmerer from the University Hospital of W?rzburg. Within two years, the participants, 16 patients, leading the fight against cancer diagnosis, tried to go to fully carbohydrate-free food. As a result, many feel better, which was appreciated by clinicians as a "promising start".

German experts believe that the increased incidence of cancer observed in recent years - is a consequence of changed eating habits in people who began including eating too much sugar.

"Cancers with such frequency as it is today, only appeared when changing the eating habits of man. For example, representatives of the northern peoples, whose power has traditionally consisted of meat and fish, to explore the western civilization did not die, "from cancer - commented scientists.

The publication reported that the study "carbohydrate-free" method to fight cancer is far from complete.
