      Here's a depressing fact - in this study looking at ketogenic diets during chemo, not only did 20 people go on a keto diet to try and help their cancer, numerous people were on vegetarian, "raw", and intermittent fasting diets for their cancer as well 😕pic.twitter.com/rYA8Hba8xK

      Not really any results tbh. Tiny differences in fat and lean muscle after a month between the keto group and non-keto, but inconsistent across cancer sites and no outcome data as yet

      It's called ketocomp, it's about body composition. That's what the goal of the trial is. Trials aren't required to make primary outcome improvement in disease.

      Yes, I understand that. My issue is when this study is disingenuously used to “support” keto as a cancer treatment.

      So just clarifying, you disagree with how the study is misleadingly used? And not the primary goal of body comp?

      I mean, the study is also unlikely to offer much of an insight given the large flaws in design, but that's not as much of an issue as the overreach I think
