The Potential Use of the Ketogenic Diet in Cancer Therapy
11:37 - 16:11 (04:34)
The ketogenic diet has shown promise as an adjuvant to metabolic therapy in managing cancer due to its ability to target tumors that have a Warburg phenotype, which includes about 80-90% of cancers. Achieving a glucose ketone index of one or two is optimal for therapeutic purposes, and can be jump-started through exogenous ketones or exercise.

Summary
The ketogenic diet, which involves consuming high amounts of fat, moderate amounts of protein, and very low amounts of carbohydrates, has shown promising results in cancer research. By lowering inflammation and blood glucose levels and elevating blood ketone levels, the diet has the potential to become an adjuvant in cancer treatment.
