It was the last thing that the experts and Dr. Oz admitted while talking about Pancreatic Cancer on today’s show. It seems that there is some evidence among the research that has been done thus far to point the finger at refined sugar and artificial sweeteners that alter the pancreas.

Doctors find it difficult to diagnose this form of cancer due to the location and slow growth in the pancreas. There are signs of abdominal and back pain along with other symptoms like pale stools and dark urine, but many people ignore their body’s early warning signals or think that it is attributed to another organ or system.

Refined sugar and artificial sweeteners change the way the function of the pancreas does its job. It’s no wonder to holistic practitioners that this can disrupt the natural mechanisms of the body and open the door to disease. Although doctors are trying to develop a vaccine, we all know that that approach is not ideal.

A healthy Lifestyle will do more for a person to preclude the origins of cancer and to maintain the health of the pancreas when whole foods and natural beverages are the only foods consumed, instead of processed foods, synthetic chemicals in beverages, and items with added sugars.

We’ve been discussing this from the days of the book that described the roller coaster ride the body endures when a person ingests refined white sugar many decades ago. It’s strange that it is taking so long for doctors to comprehend this situation. Better late than never…

In TCM there are many herbal formulations that nourish and support the Earth Element and Spleen Meridian. If you visit your acupuncturist, talk about that and you can take preventive measures to address any imbalance.

You can eat whole organic fresh fruit, instead of processed juices or canned fruit. You can enjoy whole grains, instead of eating cereal with milk for breakfast. You can get minerals from your vegetables and seaweed and greens to provide the nutrients that are so vital to the pancreas and other organs for staying healthy and functioning properly. It’s not much of a leap to realize that your Lifestyle choices over the course of your Life really do make a profound difference.

Be kind to your pancreas and it will take good care of you…
