What are your thoughts about the study/findings?
As a dietitian, I support the study’s report as keto diets are normally low in carbs which can activate a protective mechanism against cancerous tumor. The diet triggers an underlying mechanism which helps in production of BHB enzymes that are proven to fight cancer causing tumors.
Why might a keto diet suppress tumor growth?
The low carb amounts, high protein and fat contents in keto diets can trigger ketosis metabolism, a process that entails using facts and proteins to fuel body cell activities instead of fats. During this mechanism, the liver responds by releasing BHB (beta-hydroxybutyrate), energy molecules that facilitate ketosis. BHB suppresses growth of cancerous tumors by slowing down cell division of tumors, boosting Hopx. functioning and preventing and increase of tumors in the epithelial cells.
Why do the Western diet, high-sugar diets, and excessive consumption of animal protein — especially red meat — increase the risk of colorectal cancer?
Consuming western diets, sugary food and meat is linked to higher risk of CRC due to; they contain additives an chemicals such as haem, nitrates and nitrites that when broke down in the gut tract can led to production of N-nitroso chemicals. These are carcinogenic chemicals that can lead to damage of intestines and bowel cells increasing cell division of cancer cells.
