(Apr. 5, 2024) — On Friday evening, Fox News’s “Primetime” host Jesse Watters hosted Grace Price, an 18-year-old producer of a new film titled, “Cancer: A Food-Borne Illness” contending that high amounts of sugar in the American diet are a cause of increasing cancer rates, particularly in young people.
Price’s research, Watters explained, was spurred by the death of her grandfather several years ago from cancer. Price contends that the average American consumes 17 teaspoons of sugar daily, far exceeding the amount believed to be reasonably tolerated by the human body.
“It’s time to wage a war against the toxic foods that have silently infiltrated our diets,” Price states in the film clip Watters played.
On March 27, Price released the film on “X,” formerly Twitter, writing, in part:
My documentary, Cancer: A Food-Borne Illness, is finally here.
It is only on this platform that I am able to release a film that challenges big food conglomerates and mainstream health claims without fear of censorship.
Here is the story of how I, an 18 year old girl, spent 2 years relentlessly searching for the for the true cause of cancer.
Price maintains cancer “is a metabolic disorder” and has set her sights on helping her generation live healthier and longer. Her stated objective is to reduce cancer in “gen z” by half “by showing them that sugar is a greater cause of cancer than smoking cigarettes.”
On the film’s website, Price states that she has been seeking an answer to her question as to whether cancer “is a genetic disease that people randomly develop?” for the last two years and has concluded that “the best cure for cancer already exists in prevention through lifestyle factors.”
On her “X” timeline, Price describes herself as a “teen on a mission: flattening cancer curve by 2040. Researching the intersection of food & epigenetics,” which Harvard University defines as “an emerging area of scientific research that shows how environmental influences—children’s experiences—actually affect the expression of their genes.”
According to Wikipedia, “In biology, epigenetics is the study of heritable traits, or a stable change of cell function, that happen without changes to the DNA sequence.[1] The Greek prefix epi- (ἐπι- “over, outside of, around”) in epigenetics implies features that are “on top of” or “in addition to” the traditional (DNA sequence based) genetic mechanism of inheritance.[2] Epigenetics usually involves a change that is not erased by cell division, and affects the regulation of gene expression.[3] Such effects on cellular and physiological phenotypic traits may result from environmental factors, or be part of normal development. They can lead to cancer.[4]“
The National Institutes of Health (NIH)’s National Cancer Institute (NCI) maintains:
Cancer is a genetic disease—that is, it is caused by changes to genes that control the way our cells function, especially how they grow and divide.
Genetic changes that cause cancer can happen because:
- of errors that occur as cells divide.
- of damage to DNA caused by harmful substances in the environment, such as the chemicals in tobacco smoke and ultraviolet rays from the sun. (Our Cancer Causes and Prevention section has more information.)
- they were inherited from our parents.
In addition to traditional treatment methods, NCI cotains a section titled “Complementary and Alternative Medicine”
Price received accolades from medical doctors, film participants, friends, and strangers as well as some criticism. Jessica Rose, PhD, a researcher who has been outspoken in questioning the wisdom of COVID-19 vaccine mandates and other government edits, complimented Price on her work.
The film can be viewed here.
Price told Watters that in looking into why the American diet is so sugar-laden and potentially dangerous to health, she repeatedly said, “Follow the money.”
Her conclusions concerning the effects of sugar appear to mirror those of Drs. Paul Marik and Pierre Kory, co-founders of the FLCCC Alliance during the early months of the COVID-19 pandemic and, contrary to CDC/FDA orthodoxy, recommended early treatment via readily-available, approved drugs which they claimed could be repurposed.
On April 4, Marik and Kory published an article summarizing the FLCCC’s April 3 webinar in which actuary Mary Pat Campbell demonstrated a marked increase in “excess” deaths among working-age people in the third and fourth quarters of 2021.
Marik has published a downloadable ebook, “Cancer Care,” and in a series of webinars explains how his exploration of treatments for COVID led to research on the causes of cancer and how alternative treatments might be effective, along with traditional medical care, to conquering the disease.
Some physicians believe tumors and other forms of cancer emanated with the COVID-19 mRNA “vaccines,” a claim heavily refuted by the mainstream media.
In coordination with Dr. Kathleen Ruddy and five clinics, the FLCCC is conducting a cancer study “to track patient responses to various adjunct cancer therapies using repurposed drugs.” Among the drugs Marik and colleagues believe could be beneficial to cancer patients is ivermectin, which, as noted on the FLCCC home page, was demonized by the FDA during the height of the pandemic as a treatment suitable only for animals.
In a settlement to a 2022 lawsuit celebrated by the alternative medical community, including Kory; Marik, who was a plaintiff in the case; Children’s Health Defense and other medical reporters, on March 25 the FDA committed to removing all posts stating that ivermectin was not an “authorized” treatment for COVID-19.
Considered by many to be an expert on ivermectin, last June published “War on Ivermectin: The Medicine that Saved Millions and Could Have Ended the Pandemic Hardcover.”
Sugars absolutely plays a crucial role. But, with biology, as usual, it is more complicated than it appears.
For example, metformin, which is a standard of care for type 2 diabetes has also been shown to lower the risk for breast cancer and colon cancer. Who knew? I interpret this to mean that the kind of sugar metabolism influenced by metformin would also be implicated in cancer. However, is it implicated in initiating cancer or sustaining cancer?
As such, I am not aware of examples where sugar (i.e., glucose) initiates cancer. If it did, cancer would be a lot more common. A contrasting example is where sugars that are a little bit different from glucose can be shown to retard the growth of cancer. In other words, the tumor has to spend more energy on getting energy from the modified sugar to such a degree that the growth slows down.
To researchers this should be a tempting target for a novel type of sugar which could stop a tumor altogether. I haven’t seen that work yet.
On a more general note, the genetics of cancer is weird enough for some metabolites to inhibit one type of cancer, but stimulate another kind of cancer. The on switch in one cancer acts like the off switch in another. So, we don’t even begin to understand the metabolic logic of cancer.
Excellent article!
Thank you, Grace Price and thanks to Sharon and The Post & Email for making the world better through alternate information. Definitely will share this article with family and friends.
