My Sugar Struggle: Trying To Eat Healthier After Breast Cancer

I cannot deny my sugar tooth.  I wish I could, but I really can’t.  I was raised with sweets.  As a kid, I remember asking to ride my bike to the local market to get some candy.  Stopping for gas as a teenager and going inside for a small piece of candy or a soda was normal. 
Unfortunately, that has also extended into adulthood where I often find myself desiring a sweet treat.

When I was diagnosed with breast cancer, I made sure I started to work on eliminating those treats.  Eating more cleanly was the plan.  It was the plan for a better life, a chance to regain the upper-hand on my health.  Especially after hearing that cancer can feed off of sugar and that soy helps bond estrogen to cancer cells.
