October 1, 2015 By Julie Lanford MPH, RD, CSO, LDN

Why You Should Stop Saying “Sugar Feeds Cancer”

August 12, 2015 By Julie Lanford MPH, RD, CSO, LDN

This is one of the most common questions I get! I've written on it 6 times so far (I guess this makes 7!). And it's not just me. It's oncology dietitians and treatment center employees everywhere! Here's the bottom line: Every cell in the body requires glucose for fuel, including cancer cells. So sugar does feed cancer.

Brussels Sprouts for Cancer Prevention – A Fool Proof Recipe

December 12, 2011 By Julie Lanford MPH, RD, CSO, LDN

Aaah, brussels sprouts. I just learned that it is brusselS sprouts! I kind of feel sorry for them. Not only do they have a commonly misspelled name, most people don't like them. They're small.

Anyway - more recently (10ish years later) I've stir fried them. Or "steam fried" them, which tastes pretty good. But I … [Read more...]
