This is a surprising position. Can you link to any? Everything I have read on the subject says obesity, a nutritional imbalance, is one of the main contributors to cancer growth, and specifically a reduction in sugar and meat have significant positive results in combating cancer's growth. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9559313/ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9559313/ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9775518/ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9775518/ https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/0470869976.ch16 https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/0470869976....

There is no reliable evidence that red meat consumption increases cancer risk. You are spreading medical misinformation by incorrectly interpreting low-quality observational studies.

Weird I feel like I read the opposite, that a high protein/fat diet would slow cancer because it thrives on glucose, so cutting carbs/sugar was key. It seems counter intuitive to me that meat & sugar would both be correlated because they are almost opposites from a metabolic standpoint. One is pure fat/protein and one is just glucose.

We might know what causes some growth, but it's not homogeneous, and we certainly can't stop it with diet alone once it starts. https://www.fredhutch.org/en/news/center-news/2019/10/keto-fat-cancer-its-complicated.html https://www.fredhutch.org/en/news/center-news/2019/10/keto-f... >> But Mukherjee’s August 2018 paper in Nature also found that a ketogenic diet was helpful — even “synergistic” — with certain cancers and certain treatments. At least in mice. >> “It’s probably most helpful in cancers that utilize the PIK3CA / AKT / MTOR pathway [an intracellular signaling pathway]”
