Could Ketosis Help with Cancer Treatment?

By Dietdoctor @DietDoctor1

Is there a possibility that we've been wrong believing that cancer is only a genetic disease? Could it also be a metabolic disease? And if so, how can a ketogenic diet be used?

In this talk from the Low Carb USA, Dr. Angela Poff talks about cancer metabolism and the possible therapeutic benefits of ketosis. These are important issues, but are still under investigation so should not be taken as medical advice.

To everyone involved, thank you for making this knowledge available to wider audience.
As grateful as I am that the research is being done, I can't help but to wonder if it has been known for some 85 years that cancer is highly dependant on glucose - why wasn't there any non-carbohydrate-diet research done a long time ago?

The more I learn about the effects of a ketogenic diet, the more I am amazed at its potency to heal and prevent diseases. The ongoing research is very promising and offers hope to those afflicted by cancer. Thank you for making these videos available!
