A comment on Fructose in diet enhances tumor growth. Parent comment

Another comment mentioned that the mechanism by which fructose promotes tumor growth is that it increases circulating lipids. But I'm wondering, doesn't keto (which seems to fight cancer) also do that?

Not much evidence that keto fights cancer any better than any other exclusion diet; it might even be worse than meat exclusion diets.

"Not much evidence"? That is so far from the truth.

Interesting. There's some evidence that fasting fights cancer, and there's a good deal of overlap between the effects of keto and fasting.

Though obviously "stop eating everything that gives you cancer" is also a good start, and you can definitely eat processed garbage even on keto.
