The only danger you have is being ignorant. Dr
Berg puts forward the idea that sugar is the source of what feeds cancer...
Okay...
A few things to note about "Dr" Eric Berg.
Firstly, Berg is
not a medical doctor; nor is he a dietitian or physician.
Berg is an American quack, anti-vaxxer, chiropractor, cholesterol denialist,
conspiracy theorist, Scientologist and ketogenic diet advocate, and
promotes
pseudoscientific health advice and quackery.
Public health scientist Sheila Kealey, who has a BSc from McGill University,
and a Masters degree in Public Health (Health Promotion) from San Diego
State University has said:
Quote:Some of [Berg's] diet advice is extremely and unnecessarily restrictive
(anti-wheat; anti-carbohydrate); he advocates weight loss based on a
bogus hormone body type (adrenal, ovary, liver, thyroid); talks about “fat
burning” hormones (they don’t exist); and includes a "detox phase" in his
diet plan (a term that should raise your quack alarm).
As typical with many of these so-called health experts, his website
includes a shop with unproven supplements (EG: adrenal body type
package, oestrogen balance kit) that beyond being a complete waste
of money, could quite possibly do you more harm than good.
So... any claims by Eric Berg that sugars and cancers are connected in
any clinical way are totally bogus, and can safely be ignored. Anybody
who thinks they may have any cancerous indications should get a referral
to an oncologist—rather than some quack with a mail-order "degree".
