A Therapeutic Very High-Fat Ketogenic Diet
Cancer cells starve on a ketogenic diet, but normal cells thrive!

"... cancer cells thrive on sugar. Cancer cells use an anaerobic respiration of sugar to form acids. That is the metabolism of cancer cells. The reason the cancer patient starves while the cancer cells grow is because they are much better at taking up the sugar than are normal cells. If we understand this selective metabolism of cancer well enough to diagnose its growth, then the next step is to withhold sugar and see what happens.
The trouble is we need a backup fuel source. And there is a back up fuel source: ketones from fats. Cancer cells cannot metobolize ketones. Normal cells do fine on ketones; we know this from fifty years of successfully utilizing a therapeutic very high-fat ketogenic diet. Cancer patients on a ketogenic diet will often have their tumors shrink and will halt their cachexia—their physical wasting and weight loss. The cancer cells starve on a ketogenic diet, but normal cells thrive. ..."[1]

In a recent webinar on human milk the presenter mentioned that CLA (conjugated linoleic acid) is "extremely ant-carcinogenic". That got my increased attention that later inspired me to check it out in Nourishing Traditions: "Conjugated Linoleic Acid: Butter from pasture-fed cows also contains a form of linoleic acid called CLA, which has strong anticancer properties. ..."[2] Footnote for this points to Nutrition Reviews Journal of April 1995 53:(4)83-89 by Belury, M (Martha) A.

"...Decreased in-take of conjugated linoleic acid and alterations in the manner of production and processing of the foods that contain CLA has led to people being overweight. Here's the problem: if there is inadequate intake of CLA, dietary fat cannot be moved into cells or used as energy. The end result is that the body stores this fat. You get, and will remain, fat."[3]

"Eating cheese and other dairy products does not lead to an increased risk of death from heart disease and stroke, scientists have said."[4]
