KETOGENIC CANCER TREATMENT 

• Ketogenic diet: High fat, moderate protein, low carb
• Low insulin levels lead to more ketone bodies from fatty acids
  • Your metabolism works as though you’ve been fasting, and you still get all the nutrients you need
• Malignant cells cannot metabolize these ketone bodies
  • Therefore, ketogenic diet suppress tumor growth
• Ketones actually mess with the expression of genes in tumors
• Link between sugar and cancer
  • Sugar actually feeds tumors well, helping them grow and spread
    • Cancer as a metabolic disease
