so is the ketogenic diet now causing

brain tumors now recently there was a

study done on the ketogenic diet

increasing tumor growth specifically the

growth of glioblastoma which is a

specific type of aggressive tumor that

grows in the brain and I want to discuss

the study so I reached out to Professor

Thomas Seyfried to get his opinion on it

and I copied his response in the

description below the entire thing so

you can check it out this abstract or

data about this study was presented

before the peer review okay so that’s

point number one so it really wasn’t

reviewed before it was published and if

you don’t know anything about Thomas

Seyfried he is a professor when

researching cancer for decades at Boston

College and he is author of this book

cancer as a metabolic disease an amazing

amazing book the research that he is

doing using the ketogenic diet with

fasting is amazing and it’ll blow you

away I put some links down below so you

can get more data on that so the success

rate on different types of cancer

including glioblastoma is remarkable but

what I want to talk about is basically

the most important factor it’s the type

of mice that they use in the study

it was a u-87 - mg xenograft Mouse okay

specifically n OD s CI D what does it

stand for non obese diabetic severely

compromised immuno deficiency mice

that’s a mouthful so in other words they

chose a type of mouse that has no

relevance to either normal humans or

normal mice at all what’s really

important to mention is not only do

these mice have compensated innate and

or adapted immune systems okay there’s

two parts of the immune system that we

have innate and they adapted well they

had weaknesses within both parts okay

but they also Express characteristics of

type 1 and type 2 diabetes and then he

also mentioned

these findings are inconsistent with

other studies that show opposing data so

how they recommend that you read the

entire correspondence because the news

will take this and blast it out there

and distort it and people won’t ever

understand the study they won’t read the

study they don’t know it’s on types of

mice that have nothing to do with our

human bodies okay they don’t know the

research of Professor c3 what they’re

gonna look at is this and that’s going

to discourage them from doing the exact

diet that is going to help them avoid

cancer or tumors in the future and I

also put a link down below of an

interview that I did with Professor

Seyfried when he gets into the actual

cause of cancer itself and it has to do

with the mitochondria the respiration or

the normal machinery that burns fuel is

altered to a completely different

mechanism because cancer cells ferment

glucose they also ferment glutamine but

mainly glucose and they do this

anaerobically

or without oxygen so when the

mitochondria get damaged the cell to

survive flips to a different type of

machinery that can burn a different type

of fuel and that happens to be the

mechanism for cancer which he talks

about extensively in this book right

here and you’ll see it also in the video

so it just makes logical sense oh it’s

running on glucose so let’s go low-carb

right and there’s also a factor about

glutamine that he’ll talk about as well

which is the type of amino acid and that

is why you would want to do low-carb

keto within a minute fasting so we can

then have the combination of lowering

the glucose and that specific type of

amino acid so anyway I wanted to point

this out you do not have to worry about

the ketogenic diet causing brain tumors

unless you are a non obese diabetic

severely compromised immuno deficiency
