There is a lot of talk about sugar, avoiding sugar, etc. . . I'm just wondering what scientific evidence exists that shows sugar causes cancer or makes it worse, etc. . . Isn't sugar like everything else (alcohol, meat, etc…). . everything in moderation?

Two o'clock that Friday afternoon the phone rang and I checked the caller ID. My Doctor's office was on the line and I prepared for the lecture I knew I deserved. He got right to the point. Too much fat, too little exercise, more fish, less sugar, and then the part I wasn't expecting. You have a MALIGNANT MELANOMA. "We received the lab report this morning and you do have a level III melanoma. I am sorry to give you this news on a Friday afternoon, but I thought you should know as soon as possible, and you have an appointment Tuesday morning with Dr. Randall Burr – he is the best dermatologist in the state." Now it was sinking in; melanoma plus appointment in two days equals serious. As if he had heard my 'pretend it doesn't exist and it will go away' strategy. He then said "now don't do anything silly." There must have been more to the conversation. I am sure he would have covered when, where and what did he mean by silly, but I already exceeded my "holy crap" brain capacity and confused level III with stage III.

As posted by sFELDMAN on 12/26/12 on another page and I do agree with his statement;
Change your nutrition progarm immediately. Eliminate all preservatives, high fructose corn syrup, white flower and white sugar. Eat green vegetables, fruits, whole grain, matakie mushrooms and lots of turmeric spice on all foods. Focused nutrition program will assist your immune system in fighting off the cancer.
and yet another poster said
I couldn't agree more with your recommendation of a diet loaded with high nutrient cruciferous green vegetables, fruit, whole grains, mushrooms and turmeric. I would also add onions, leeks, garlic, etc. (the allium vegetables) and select nuts and seeds – walnuts, hazelnuts, flaxseed, etc.
Try reading the book the Maker's Diet.

This article explains that diabetics (people that have chronically high blood sugar) due to insulin malfunction are more likely to get cancer. The survival is decreased, but it is also likely related to the common health problems that accompany diabetes.

The theory is that glucose fuels cancer cells and if you take away the fuel, they won't grow in numbers. That's where the ketogenic diet comes in to play. It is something that is undergoing several trials in the U.S. and abroad. There is one trial that I know of that is taking on melanoma patients, among others. I would suggest checking out the following link (video) involving Dr. Eugen Fine, MD from NYC. I would recommend checking out his explanation on the livinlavidalowcarbshow. I would also recommend reading the book "The Enzyme Factor" by Dr. Hiromi Shinya, MD, a world reknown G.I. doctor and inventor of one of the colonscopy tools years ago. They have not proven anything to this point but there has been some promising results including that of a pediatric brain cancer patient that stayed with the diet and was doing well 10 years later.

Here is a piece that can explain the sugar connection very simply but I would much rather recommend the explanation given by Dr. Eugene Fine, MD, on the livinlavidaloca website:
From what I have seen in the actual published trials, the ketogenic diet mostly kept the cancer from growing, but there are several trials going on right now and I hope that they return impressive results.

Also, I don't know about sugar processing, but would raw sugar work? I think it tastes better, and you can grind it up pretty fine in a coffee grinder if you don't want it to be so coarse.
