Why cancer cells love sugar and glutamine

🧬 Post 1 Why cancer cells love sugar and glutamine A cancer cell does not live like a healthy one. Instead of using oxygen and burning fuel in the mitochondria for energy, it goes back in time to an ancient, anaerobic mode of operation. 👉 Instead of efficient combustion in the Krebs cycle, it includes the so-called reductive TCA cycle – a program used by the first cells on Earth when oxygen did not yet exist.

👉 In this mode, the cell does not produce energy for function, but accumulates carbon and nitrogen in order to grow and divide - it builds membranes, DNA, proteins. 🧬 Post 2 Food as fuel for the tumor

• Sugar (glucose) is the fast fuel → cancer cells suck it up and turn it into lactate.

• Glutamine is the second engine → gives carbon and nitrogen for the synthesis of new mass.

• Thus, when the diet is rich in refined carbohydrates and proteins with excess glutamine, we directly feed the cancer cell growth program. 🌱 What we can do

1. Carbohydrates with fiber - broccoli, cauliflower, green beans.

2. Plant protein - legumes, seeds, nuts.

Cancer is not a 'mutation' but a return to an ancient survival program. If we give him sugar and glutamine, he grows. If we take away its fuel and strengthen the healthy cells – the odds are reversed.
