Fat free and sugar free and free of refined starches: in other words, a diet high in fruit and vegetables and low in processed foods is a healthful diet that helps prevent degenerative disease.

Fruit contains sugar; grapes contain a lot of sugar, and they are one thing recommended in an anti-cancer diet -- including red wine.

Red wine helps cut dietary fat also, which is why it is traditionally paired with cheese and red meat.

Honey, raw sugar, date sugar, molasses (what is refined out of white sugar) are fine sources of sugar.

A diet that you see recommended is high in dark leafy greens and fruit; unrefined flour, brown rice (whole grains). All the vitamins are in the skin of fruit and veges and the husk of grains, and colorful fruit and vegetables are best from farmers' markets, roadside stands, ethnic supermarkets, and health-food stores. Supermarket items are grown and chosen for uniformity and for longer seasons. Gnarlier looking veges and fruit have more time spent on the plant and are not picked before ripening, which increases their nutritional content.

When eating a lot of fruit and vegetables, "organic" is best because you will not be exposed to chemical pesticides and because, in general, they are not picked early for shipping, as is big box produce.

Blueberries, Blackberries, red grapes, broccoli (and spinach) are good bases for an anti-cancer diet; cut the fat; use olive oil on salads, sunflower or corn oil for cooking and baking.

As far as a great whole grain bread, you cannot go wrong with Orowheat. Wheatberry was their oldest whole grain, and it is now Honey wheatberry, a good place to start if you don't like "wheat bread." The best bread is their Winter Wheat bread. It is deliciious in Sandwiches and as toast (with Smart Balance -- or butter if you have low enough cholesterol and body fat; after age 40-50, we need to stop with the butter. Thank heaven Smart Balance is a delicious replacement -- I, who flatly refused to eat margarine as a child, even like Smart Balance better than butter now.)

btw: if you read the nutritional contents of regular margarine and butter, butter is actually better for you than margarine. Smart Balance is a newer solution and the food people really did a good one with that.
