Have you heard about the Warburg effect? How about the Sugar Research Foundation?
Likely not.
In The Meno-Cause groups, we talk a lot about insulin resistance, and the dangers of sugar for our health and longevity. It can be a major driver in causing widespread inflammation in the body, leading to the development of many different diseases.
There’s some very startling information dating back to the 1920s-30s, when The Warburg Effect was discovered. This is the finding that cancer cells consume glucose (sugar) at a higher rate than other cells.
In the 1940s, The Sugar Research Foundation was established to promote the consumption of sugar.🤦🏻♀️ The Warburg Effect gained very little traction and the sugar industry began downplaying the effects of sugar on health and pushed the idea that fat was the culprit. This, along with the development of genetic research, pushed the metabolic theory of cancer growth under the rug. After all, nutrition can’t be patented!
Today, thankfully, there is research being done in the metabolic realm of cancer. However, the sugar industry is still alive and well and being promoted through The Sugar Association. Check out the website -

Just another PSA from me to you. Make sure to check the research you’re reading for conflicts of interest. Who funded the study? Are the researchers affiliated with any industries?
