It's
Debateable. I been mixing mine, with fruit and veggies. Some people do believe sugar feeds on cancer, some don't. My onc just told me not to go to extremes cutting it ALL out, because there are some good sugars, and need it for the weight. But, she did say any kind of juicing was good for you.
Hugsss!

Sugar
Your body needs sugar (glucose) to survive. Cancer cells survive
by fermentation; they take your glucose and churn out lactic acid.
Since cancer cells use more of your body's glucose than normal
cells, they actually rob your system of it's needed glucose. That is
why an advanced cancer stage always produces skinny victims;
the cancer is taking what the body needs to survive.
If you try to starve cancer cells by removing sugar, you will starve
your good cells and your entire body faster. -
Although the majority of
Although the majority of carbohydrate intake should ideally be from grains and vegetables, certain fruits (eg: blueberries) contain substances that kill some cancer cells according to David Servan-Schreiber, M.D, PhD ("Anticancer: A New Way of Life"). He recommends adding berries to cereals or for snacks. His book is well worth reading. You can find out more about his book at Amazon.com. -
Veggies
Try focusing your juicing on veggies rather than fruits and then eat your fruits like blueberries with high anti-oxidant content.
The fresh juices are full of enzymes and vitamins that are healers so it's not like you're eating ice cream or chocolate bars and getting overloaded in refined zero-nutrition sugars.
Just a thought.
