Hello.

Yes, sugars (carbohydrates) are good nutrients for the tumor. But you can't starve yourself to kill the tumor. The tumor will extract sugar from any food that you eat.

But a more important aspect is the nature of the tumor and the rate of growth.

Hello.

There are many factors that contribute to tumor growth. Some foods are definitely risk factors for tumor growth, but the basic process is angiogenesis and cell structure change.

Angiogenesis means new blood vessel formation. Here is an extract from http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/angiogenesis/CA00079

".........Angiogenesis describes the formation of new blood vessels within your body. For instance, an embryo uses angiogenesis to develop inside the womb, a woman experiences angiogenesis as a normal part of menstruation, and body tissues use angiogenesis to help heal wounds.

Angiogenesis also refers to the process by which a tumor develops a blood supply. Small tumors can survive without a network of blood vessels to deliver oxygen and nutrients. These small tumors rely on nearby tissue to deliver small amounts of energy.

In order to grow larger and spread (metastasize), a tumor needs its own blood supply. Blood vessels give a tumor the oxygen and nutrients it needs to maintain rapid growth. Blood vessels also offer access to other areas of the body. Without a blood supply, a tumor remains very small and localized............."

Junk food and some other food which has or promotes formation of toxins in the body are considered risky.

I would suggest you visit a dietician or an oncologist for more detailed information.
