Ketogenic Diets for Cancer

[R.B.]

^ Thanks Jackie

I would really like to know the details of the diets the mice were fed on etc. Ketone production will be accompanied by the use of fats for fuel - the type of fats available from the fat tissue will be dependent on historic / current diet.

Fats are metabolised very differently.

The only papers I have seen suggesting ketones restrict cancers have involved Omega 3s or MCTs, so maybe the effects seen are about more about more than just the ketones, which makes sense for a host of reasons.

If anybody has seen any papers suggesting ketosis alone has reduced cancer growth I would be very pleased to see them . . . there are only so many hours in the day to google / search for data read papers, and there is so much fascinating material out there . . .
