A few Ted Talks with researchers discuss sugar as being the preferred food of cancer cells. Low sugar diets are being tried to starve cancer. If you need something to get you off sugar that would do it.

Ted talks ≠ peer reviewed research

Because Krebs cycle.
The link between sugar and cancer is indirect - because of excess weight, from too many calories, because dietary sugar is very calorie dense.

There is also some research that a low carb ketogenic diet can treat and prevent dementia & alzheimers. One of the factors in Alzheimer's is the brain's inability to use glucose to produce energy.
Also management and possible reversal of Type 2 diabetes by retraining your body's insulin response.

I would recommend reading or listening to the book I suggested above or checking out the glucose goddess on Instagram. It seems pretty revolutionary to me and if it works out a real game changer that’s easily incorporated into life. The hunger comes from the crash in bloody sugar so you need to try and flatten the peaks and troughs, it’s actually pretty easily done with loads of “hacks”. For instance eating some carrot sticks and hummus (fibre) before your normal meal massively affects the glucose and insulin response and whether your body stores or burns fats and how hungry you feel. Essentially you want to avoid eating starchy carbs first if possible.
