Is an all-fruit (sugar) diet bad for your health?
This is scary. The late Steve Jobs was a vegan and sometimes lived on an all-fruit (sugar) diet. Ashton Kutcher is playing Jobs in the upcoming movie “jOBS”. To get into character Kutcher tried the all-fruit diet. The result? He ended up in the hospital with stomach pains and an inflamed pancreas. His pancreas perhaps had to work extra hard to take care of all that sugar.
It’s scary, as Jobs died from pancreatic cancer.
USA Today: Ashton Kutcher suffers health scare prepping for ‘Jobs’
I wonder how the vegan docs will put a spin on this news story. Apparently some of them have been claiming that the diet prolonged his life.
"After he developed cancer Jobs remembered some of his earlier teachings about the benefits of low-protein vegetarian diets for cancer.(548) I believe Jobs was right, and a healthy low-fat vegan diet will slow the growth (doubling times) of a cancer and prolong a patient’s life."
From a vegan doc's blog who I will not link to. It sickens me.
And for Benecol lovers note that omega 6 accelerates this,,, for both alcohol and fructose...
(See Peter HYPERLIPID)
When it comes to the pancreas, it seems to have a a special liking for fructose: "....the researchers found that when the pancreas tastes fructose from foods, it responds by producing more insulin...:" See more:http://news.health.com/2012/02/06/pancreas-may-taste-fructose-hinting-at-links-to-diabetes/
The jury is still out on Jobs, but the fructose causing insulin resistance and elevated fasting insulin means any cancer breeding anywhere becomes inadvertently promoted, all the time...
Good for the young lookalike that he "kicked up i time" on the massive fruit diet!
More insulin leads to heart disease , or cancer as shown in several studies.
Awaiting my own fasting insulin levels at the moment. Hoping close to 5 rather than 15 !
