The Ketogenic Diet Could be a Theraputic Strategy for Cancer - Dr. D'Agostino

Research suggests that the mitochondria of cancer cells are metabolically compromised in their ability to metabolize fats, they thrive on glucose and can't derive energy from ketones. A ketogenic diet reduces carbohydrates that produce glucose, adds increases to dietary fats and produces ketones from triglycerides derived from fat cells.
