Thumbs up Breast Cancer and Low Carb

I am a three year breast cancer survivor. I was diagnosed 3 years ago at the tender age of 34. The tumor was not in my breast but on my upper rib and the cancer cells had actually spread to my right breast. I had a double mastectomy(just to be sure) chemo and radiation with full breast reconstruction.

I was shocked to find (while reading my Atkin's book) that cancer cells feed on sugar. I did some research and found that all of the articles I read supported this finding.

Another good reason for me to be on this diet. If anyone has additional information to share I would love to hear from you.
