    How Too Much Fructose Can Feed Cancer Tumors & The Eye-Opening Whole30 Diet Experience 🍬

    Fructose: Sweet Poison? Did you know that too much fructose—yes, even the stuff in “healthy” foods—might be throwing a party for cancer cells? Recent research from Washington University in St. Louis shows that high fructose intake, especially from sneaky high fructose corn syrup, could fuel tumor growth in cancers like melanoma, breast, and cervical cancer. (So much for your “guilt-free” granola bars, right?)

    🥗 Whole30: A Foodie Cult or Life-Changer? We spill the tea (unsweetened, of course) on our adventurous journey through the Whole30 diet. From reading nutrition labels like it’s a CSI crime scene to discovering sugar where you’d least expect it (ketchup?!), this was one eye-opening experience.

    🎙️ In this episode, we also tackle:

    • The horrors of hidden sugars in everyday foods.

    • The struggles of screen time on preschoolers’ sleep (spoiler: it’s not helping).

    • The FDA recalling antidepressants (because 2025 just wasn’t chaotic enough).

    • The USDA’s new dietary guidelines. • Why Gen Z thinks kale is just a garnish while Boomers treat it like a holy grail.

    • A decline in US obesity rates—yes, you read that right.

    • And mind-blowing breakthroughs, like AI-powered blood tests for early cancer detection, new HIV treatments, and finally an FDA-approved sleep apnea medication.

    👉 COMMENT your wildest Whole30 fail.
