The Low Carb Lifestyle - Links & Information

The Low Carb Lifestyle – what’s it all about and what is the connection between diseases like diabetes, metabolic syndrome, cancer and heart disease; processed foods and sugar; overall health and well-being? I have received many questions on this subject since posting a few articles on “sugar” this past year. Plus … the response to Twitter tweets on this subject are always overwhelming. This article is simply links to recent articles and videos I send out to people to help them become more informed and to make changes in their own Lifestyle. Very best wishes …

“The cancers that seem most likely to be related to sugar consumption
are cancer of the large intestine in men and in women,
and cancer of the breast in women.”

Final thoughts in closing: Several years ago we changed our diet, simply for health reasons – it did not cost extra money or time to change our lifestyle & in fact it seemed to make life a lot easier and the food tasted better. As a two-time cancer survivor, not on prescription medications, we are very happy we made the change.
