The raison d'etre of this website is to provide you with hard scientific information which may help you make informed decisions in your quest for health (so far I have blogged concise summaries of over 1,500 scientific studies and have had three books published).

My research is mainly focused on the effects of cholesterol, saturated fat and statin drugs on health. If you know anyone who is worried about their cholesterol levels and heart disease, or has been told to take statin drugs you could send them a link to this website, and to my statin or cholesterol or heart disease books.

Krone notes that high intakes of sugar and refined carbohydrates and elevated blood glucose are strongly associated with the risk of cancer.

This study sought to find out if sugar and refined carbohydrates and elevated blood glucose were also associated with poorer survival rates after diagnosis of breast cancer.

Krone measured blood sugar in a group of cancer patients (some with active disease and some in remission) and found a significant lower average blood glucose in those in remission. 

This study shows that high intakes of sugar and refined carbohydrates and elevated blood sugar are strongly associated with the risk of cancer , and is also associated with poorer survival after diagnosis for early breast cancer.
