Answer 1

Yes there is a harm eating a lot of starch of any kind .It will turn to sugar .Sounds like you have a craving for Argo starch , you didn't say why you eat it . If so your body needs some thing your not eating other wise .Your Dr. should help you find a dietitian to help you eat the right things for your condition . Please don't wait .

Do you know sugar makes cancer grow faster . By the way sweeten your food with real maple syrup & exchange that for sugar in recipes .Might cost more But your life & health is worth it . you can find maple syrup recipe books that use maple syrup instead of suger on line . A specialest told some one I know about maple syrup being safe to use & won't make cancer grow .

Answer 2

if you are a cancer patient why aren't you asking your doctor? and why on earth are you eating Argo starch? who or what gave you the idea to do that? GO SEE YOUR DOCTOR

Answer 3

You mean just eating it plain? Well, normally there'd be no harm in it, but I think a cancer patient should definitely ask their doctor.

Answer 4

I don't believe that eating it when cooking with it will hurt you but just sitting down and eating it can't be any good for you. I would say talk to your doctor and I'm sure he will tell you the same thing, it is not for just eating, it is a thickening agent and that is it.

Answer 5

you would be better off keeping up with your anti-nausea pills (stay ahead of the nausea) if any...

and eat any mild high protein foods you can (unless your doctor says not to)...ie cold hard boiled eggs...rax or arbys roast beef are high in protein and mild flavor...

Are you diabetic? starches turn to sugars in the digestive tract...


If you are eating wierd stuff like this, this is called pica...you might be low on iron...anemic

or you could be diabetic and your sugar could be low, but more likely low on iron

What is pica?

Pica is a compulsive eating behavior characterized by cravings to chew unnatural or non-nutritious substances such as clay, dirt, starch, baking soda, and a host of other "non-foods," and ice. It may signal a nutritional deficiency of iron.
What causes pica?

The cause is not completely known. Historically, pica has occurred during times of famine or when individual diets lack certain nutrients or have increased demands for proper nutrition (such as during growth or pregnancy). Diets low in iron and zinc, in particular, are often linked to pica. Some cases of pica stem from cultural beliefs and superstitions, or may result from physiological or psychological needs. Poverty and poor nutrition can contribute to the onset of pica.
