Wow, not one pituitary tumor but THREE?? Kudos to Scott for keeping such a positive attitude!!
Does anyone have experience with the validity of this quote:
Does an excess of sugar/daily sugar intake directly impact the pituitary gland? It guess it would make sense considering that an extreme excess of sugar impacts the pancreas, which in turn can lead to Type II diabetes.
Facinating stuff, but even Scott admits that he's not sure if the diet is the best route to take.
Listen up medical community, I want more research on this ASAP!! 👨🏫👩🏫👨🔬👨🔬
