Fructose Helps Cancer Cells Spread

(Edith) #1

I posted this in the Keto Chat since it is not a scientific paper but regurgitating a scientific paper, but it is interesting nonetheless.

It appears that fructose could be a culprit in how cancer spreads, particularly ovarian. I also found it interesting that the main chemotherapy drug for ovarian cancer causes the cancer cells to go into a state of cellular senescense, a kind of dormancy that is still metabolically active. I guess that’s why it is said people go into remission but are not necessarily cured. Fructose appears to increase the ability of the “dormant” cells to spread.

I know keto is not a cure-all or a prevent-all, but it sure must help improve the odds.

Wonder how taking Senolytics would possibly help that? I hedge my bets and take them every week.

At that level I’d say how could it not!

This was an intensive therapy for glioblastoma:

They survived quite a bit longer than did controls, but it still was only a percentage survival at 3 years. And it was intense - 5 day fasts, OMAD, etc.

I think keto definitely helps, but it still possibly only delays the end result for many cancers.

What’s Senolytics?

In my neighborhood which is small, throw a rock and someone has turbo cancer, albeit we’re getting pretty thinned out.

One of the latest effected has been long time KETO, exercises, takes really good care of himself, early 60’s.

For those trying to avoid fructose, you need to avoid more than high fructose corn syrup (HFCS) and fruit. You also have to avoid table sugar, a.k.a. sucrose. Sucrose is a disaccharide (double sugar) made of glucose and fructose. HFCS is about half glucose and half fructose, so all the bad things you’ve heard about HFCS also applies to sucrose as well. In addition, agave syrup (organic or not) is mostly fructose with a small amount of glucose.

I hadn’t heard about the idea that it promotes metastasis of cancer, but fructose also turns into fat in the liver. Fatty liver is the first step on the road to type II diabetes. There’s lots of reasons to avoid fructose.

My understanding from the work done by Prof Thomas Seyfried, is that Zero Carb is the best way to arrest cancer, along with some of the anti cancer meds.

Kill senescent cells, which are the ones that typically become cancerous. You could fast for days, or pop a couple pills and do the same thing

There’s natural ones that do work, or you could take a “real” one like Rapamycin which will wipe out 90% of them in one shot!

I take this one most of the time. 3 pills, once a week!

Better outcomes for terminal cancer.
