Re: Ketogenic Diets for Cancer
RB and AA, I agree that the type of fat appears to be of utmost importance. The is plenty of evidence to suggest saturated fat increases breast cancer risk. The diet being referred to (20% calories from fat) is the WINS trial. While the women in this trial did not follow a totally vegetarian diet most of their fat was of the monounsaturated type.
