Guess what? Glucose limitation helps protect cancer cells! Gee, so much research on diet, and still no answers, tells me that diet research might not be the path to go down on stopping cancers. https://www.nature.com/articles/s42255-024-01166-w https://www.nature.com/articles/s42255-024-01166-w >> Most cancer cells rapidly consume glucose, which is severely reduced in the nutrient-scarce tumour microenvironment. In CRISPR-based genetic screens to identify metabolic pathways influenced by glucose restriction, we find that tumour-relevant glucose concentrations (low glucose) protect cancer cells from inhibition of de novo pyrimidine biosynthesis, a pathway that is frequently targeted by chemotherapy.
