Take-Home Messages From The 2011 Nutrition & Metabolism Society Symposium In Baltimore

Dr. Thomas Seyfried–“Ketone Bodies and Cancer”
Most brain tumors are untreatable and patients die from the pressure build-up
Calorie restriction is necessary for treating brain tumors
The mitochondria are dysfunctional in human brain tumors
Otto Warburg noted that cancer leads to irreversible damage
Tumor cells are unable to shift from feeding on glucose to ketones
Cancer is more of a metabolic disease than a genetic one
There’s an 80% reduction in tumor weight when calorie-restricted
Calorie-restriction one of the most powerful therapies for killing cancer cells
As glucose is decreased, cancer cells reduce as well
A low-carb, calorie-restricted diet is better than the best drug therapy for cancer
Ketogenic calorie-restricted diets have reduced brain tumors in mice and humans
Blood glucose remains too high on an unlimited calories low-carb diet to treat cancer
Calorie-restricted low-carb diets create adequate ketones for treating brain tumors
Ketogenic, calorie-restricted diets don’t cure cancer, but they come close
Tumors can’t grow when calories are cut to create ketones
Limiting carbs and calories puts you in the zone of managing tumor growth
Brain cancer in children can be treated with ketogenic diets by reducing glucose
Avoid radiation therapy if all all possible–ketogenic, calorie-restricted diet is best for cancer
Dr. Eugene Fine–“Reduced Carbohydrates in Aggressive Resistant Tumors (RECHARGE Trial)”
Not all cancers are dependent on glucose for growth, including prostate cancer
Hyperinsulinemia is a major cancer risk factor–that’s why reducing insulin in paramount
It’s plausible that reducing insulin secretion could inhibit cancer growth
The typical American diet contains 300-400g carbs daily–spiking insulin
Cut the carbs and you’ll cut the insulin and reduce your cancer risk
You don’t want an insulin knockout (Type 1 diabetes), but rather an insulin knockdown
A low-carb diet provides the proper control of insulin without eliminating the good it does
Reduced carb diets have not demonstrated adverse effects up to 2 years as a medical therapy
Humans were built as hunter-gatherers to be in a ketotic state most of the time
Fasting is in our ancestral biochemistry with no ill effects
There is no known dietary requirement for carbohydrate in your diet
Grains and vegetables are only a relatively recent addition to the human diet
A very low-carb diet changes the metabolic environment where cancer would grow
Too many people are living outside of a sustained ketogenic state leading to more cancer
RECHARGE Trial used very low-carb diet on 10 patients who failed on chemotherapy
The study placed the participants on a very low-carb ketogenic diet for 28 days
Average daily intake consumed by study patients was 27g carbs and 1236 daily
All of the study participants were ketotic
Future direction of research will be a larger study using ketogenic diets–funding needed
