It's not sugar that causes cancer, its what sugar cause like obesity that could cause it. I was researching this last night. If sugar caused cancer just about every human would have it. My opinion is don't deprive yourself. Others will say otherwise. You decide . I just don't see a reason for women who crave things to put herself through more hell denying herself of things that make her life easier. https://news.cancerresearchuk.org/2023/08/16/su... There’s a lot of information online about sugar and cancer, but not much of it is based on scientific evidence. In this article we’re going to take a long hard look at sugar and bust some myths around the questions ‘Can sugar cause cancer?’ and ‘Does sugar feed cancer cells?
Sugar and cancer
Cancer cells usually grow quickly, multiplying at a fast rate, and that requires a lot of energy. That means they need lots of glucose.

Here’s where the myth that sugar fuels cancer was born: if cancer cells need lots of glucose, then cutting sugar out of our diet must help stop cancer growing, and could even stop it developing in the first place, right?
Unfortunately, it’s not that simple. All of our healthy cells need glucose too, and there’s no way of telling our bodies to let healthy cells have the glucose they need without also giving it to cancer cells. And cancer cells also need lots of other nutrients too, like amino acids and fats; it’s not just sugar they crave.

There’s no evidence that following a “sugar-free” diet lowers the risk of getting cancer, or that it boosts the chances of surviving if you are diagnosed.

So, there are two sides to this story.

On the one hand, sugar itself doesn’t cause cancer, and there’s no way (at the moment) of specifically starving cancer cells of glucose without harming healthy cells too.

There’s also no evidence that adopting a diet very low in carbohydrates will lower your cancer risk or help as a treatment. In fact, patients need adequate nutrition to help their bodies cope with treatment.

But eating a diet high in sugar can promote weight gain. And being overweight or obese increases the risk of at least 13 types of cancer.

The take home message is that although banishing sugar won’t stop cancer in its tracks, we can all reduce our risk of getting cancer by lowering the amount of free sugar in our diets to help maintain a healthy body weight.

Sugar and cancer – what you need to know

https://news.cancerresearchuk.org/2023/08/16/sugar-and-cancer-what-you-need-to-know/

All cells require sugar (glucose) for energy. Your body can also store sugar to use as energy later. Your body needs this sugar to function normally

Do cells need glucose to function?
However, glucose is the main molecule our bodies use for energy and we cannot survive without it.

@A MyBCTeam Member when I used to be into chips, I always bought the single serving bags because it does help to keep intake in moderation. I order very little sweets a week, usually something that will last a day or two.

Can you find something sweet but healthy (or healthier?) I love cookies, but have traded it out for the fig bars. They are still about 100 calories a cookie, but it is made with cane sugar, and comes 2 cookies in a pack. One pack in the evening takes care of the craving.

The hubs usually craves ice cream and pie, so there are all kinds of sweet cravings. For me, I would choose a cookie over pie or ice cream anyway. And I usually try to buy cookies in the single serve packs, otherwise, I can plow through a pack of Nutter Butters in no time!

I have sugar cravings with Letrozole.
