   Can I add one video to his excellent collection?

   From Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Institute:

   Like Lustig, Sloan's Thompson doesn't get it completely, but his argument for eating only fat and protein to ward off cancer, is strong.

   I'm convinced this diet is the way to go. It's not the most convenient way to live, but then good health never was convenient.

   It's no wonder people are confused. Somone (who knows my position on sugar and carbs) sent me this today.

   “There is no evidence that fructose behaves any differently than sucrose metabolically in humans,” said John Sievenpiper, a research fellow at St. Michael’s Hospital and the lead author of a recent study on the effects of fructose." http://www.thestar.com/living/health/article/1230550--fructose-not-a-...

   Good site good topics.
   I am not to sure about low carb diets but I always like to keep a open mind so will read what you have to say on the matter.

   Gosh, that video Bill mentioned above ("Why we all don't get cancer" by Craig B. Thompson of Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center) is really terrific! In under 30 minutes, he does a brilliant job of explaining the basic mechanisms that lead to cancer.

   Unfortunately, the copy Bill linked to didn't seem to be playing right for me, but the same video is also on YouTube:

   Of course, blood glucose features prominently from quite early on in Thompson's explanation, but he also concludes with some fascinating comments concerning the role of macronutrient balance in cancer development (especially carbs). His slide show even features that same illustration of the series of cavemen evolving into a fast food guzzling slob.

   So anyway, thanks Bill. Very informative viewing!
