iirc the talk I learned this from said there's simply not many cancer variants that don't need abundant glucose to grow tumors. That the whole defect stems from hijacking the energy side to fuel uncontrolled growth, and it needs glucose.
Is there a selection effect at play? As in, a person with high serum glucose levels will tend to have cancer that likes glucose? That would imply the solution isn't ketones per se, but changing the fuel from whatever the cancer grew up with.
