Healthy cells CAN turtle-up, whereas cancer cells engage in unregulated reproduction. Also, some cancer cells can only consume glucose. Which, in a fasted state, would mean that the majority of energy would be in ketones(if the individual were metabolically healthy), starving the cancer cells to death.
- arijun 7mo agoWhy wouldn’t a strict keto diet not be a cure for those cancers?
- nick__m 7mo agoBecause the cancers cells adapt! (fast reproduction and high mutation rate of the cancerous cells make that process quicker than antibiotics resistance)
- m_rcin 7mo agomany people try it, but the results are mixed.
- sl_convertible 7mo agothe body will actually turn protein into glucose, so the body will never be completely glucose free.
