    David Gorski, MD, PhD Retweeted Dr David Robert Grimes

    Cancer metabolism is a hot research area (although, I note, less hot than it was several years ago, probably because the results of pursuing research into the area didn't live up to the hype). The keto brigade very much exaggerates what diet can do for cancer.https://twitter.com/drg1985/status/1211988373100994560 …

    In a pathetic move, a scientifically unqualified keto evangelist whom I long ago blocked is directing his substantial follower base to spam me with YouTube videos from a guy claiming cancer is curable w/ keto diet. This is absolute bollox, h/t @gorskon https://sciencebasedmedicine.org/ketogenic-diets-for-cancer-hype-versus-science/ …

        This reminds me of Dr William Li and his angiogenesis-based medicine and diet. Did he ever publish anything substantial after that TED talk he gave?

        My aunt was recently diagnosed with breast cancer (second time, aggressive form). Her daughter in law is trying to talk her out of chemo and using diet to manage it. My aunt isn’t stupid but I’d catch a life term if this dummy were successful.

        They also conveniently ignore the potential negative effects of keto; increased risk of metastasis in melanoma, weight loss (not ideal when on chemo?), longer term CVD risks.

        it is good to live healthy, eat healthy, maintain a health weight, get exercise there is no magic 'cure' for cancer anyone telling you they can 'cure' you of anything, particularly with one specific thing or something as serious as cancer, is a grifter and dangerous
