A known fact about cancer cells, is that they love to feed on sugar. Keeping a diet low in processed & refined sugars is paramount to not only treating but preventing cancer. Garlic helps regulate blood sugar levels that reduce insulin production. Low insulin levels in your blood cells help to prevent tumor-growing cells. Garlic is known to reduce the risk for breast and prostate cancer. A phytonutrient in garlic called diallyl disulfide helps prevent cancer of the lung, skin and colon. Diallyl disulfide also helps to kill leukemia cells. Garlic is also a known immune modulator, thus will help fortify your immune system against viral and bacterial invaders keeping your immune system strong and vigilant to prevent cancer cells from proliferating.
