- hombre_fatal 2y agoI think social media and pop journalists flip flop on those issues, but the converging lines of evidence over the last half century have not. It just seems like the evidence is back and forth when one tweet summarizes a mendelian randomization study on LDL cholesterol and CVD outcomes, and then the next tweet is a guy with one million followers explaining how butter cures cancer.

Tumors in general tend to be highly glycolytic, and making the body's fuel mix oriented toward fatty acids and ketone bodies may help in these cases.
