I was pleased to see the ketogenic diet getting national attention in a recent NPR article, “Fighting Cancer by Putting Tumor Cells on a Diet.”  As shown in the article, there are certainly persuasive arguments on both sides – whether cancer is a metabolic disease or the result of genetic cell mutation.  However, if there is even a chance that diet can reduce my chances of getting cancer, I’m in.  Why not give myself every advantage possible, while decreasing my risk of Alzheimer’s at the same time?
