Thought this was an interesting article on how cancer cells die without carbs. They are looking at ketogenesis as a treatment for brain cancer. Seems it would apply to most any cancer. I know cancer cells feed on sugar.http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2013/03/10/ketogenic-diet.aspxWhile it is Dr Mercola which I usually read somewhat hesitantly, I did want to share. I haven't discovered the actual research papers yet so not sure if this is necessarily "science"Hope its okay to post here.
