Another win for keto! “A ketogenic diet combined with a cancer drug starves pancreatic tumors in mice by blocking fat metabolism, revealing a new path for diet-based cancer treatment. A study on fasting and the ketogenic diet uncovered a newfound weakness in pancreatic tumors, making them more susceptible to an existing cancer drug. Scientists at UC San Francisco have found a way to eliminate pancreatic cancer in mice by combining a high-fat ketogenic diet with a targeted cancer therapy. The therapy works by blocking the cancer cells’ ability to metabolize fat, effectively cutting off their only source of energy while the mice remain on the ketogenic diet. As a result, the tumors stop growing.” TLDR: a keto diet, when combined with cancer drugs can inhibit tumor growth. #ketodiet #ketogenicdiet #cancertreatment #cancertherapy
