Nobody ever stops to check if this Standard diet is making the tumors grow faster... instead they go like: mh if they get more of this (omega 3 = mostly animal fats) it grows slower.
In nature mice would eat many different things, grain as well as insects... afaik Mouse Standard diet is high carb
- roywiggins 5y agoThey found "an n-3 long-chain PUFA-rich diet significantly delayed mouse tumor growth when compared with a monounsaturated FA-rich diet." So the difference was feeding one set polyunsaturated fatty acids and the other set monounsaturated fatty acids. https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S1550413121002333 https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S15504...
- nomoreplease 5y agoCould you elaborate? What is the takeaway for humans here? To eat ONLY pufa when you have a tumor?
- adrianN 5y agoThe takeaway for humans here is that there seems to be an effect in mice so perhaps someone should fund a study with human subjects to check whether this effect also exists in humans.
