The western American diet is under fire for the amount of sugar we consume on a daily basis. Overconsumption of sugar creates all sorts of health issues for us and it is a big topic of discussion for everyone these days, especially cancer patients.
In this episode, Dr. Lucas Tims returns for a second time to talk about sugar and the role it plays in cancer.
