I'm not an authority on cancer. But...in all modesty...I'm an authority on signs of trustworthiness in people who are making claims in any given discipline.

It's not a sixth sense. It's a well-honed skill from years of engaging with these kinds of claims and books. But I don't expect you to trust me. I *do* expect you to trust the collective wisdom of many oncologists. https://www.thecut.com/2015/06/problem-with-the-grain-brain-doctor.html …https://www.wired.com/2015/04/alternative-medicine-believers-journey-back-science/ …

Oh, yes. Many of the claims made for ketogenic diets as a treatment for cancer definitely set off my bullshit detector.

I think you'd agree that it's basically a historical law: Whatever the popular weight loss diet of the day happens to be, it gets claimed as a panacea. A couple decades ago it was a vegan diet.

I'm willing to believe that a vegan diet does good things for T2 diabetes, etc.! But I just get suspicious. That's all.

Seyfried is not particularly convincing, for the reasons I discussed. Also, I go by by papers in the peer-reviewed literature more than books.

It's a book. It's not peer-reviewed.
