Keto for Cancer: HOPE or HYPE?
Can Keto Cure Cancer?
In this episode, Dr. Omar delves into the topic of ketogenic diets as potential cancer treatments. He examines the scientific basis behind the idea, including the Warburg effect, and scrutinizes various studies, differentiating between animal and human research. Dr. Omar highlights the benefits of a ketogenic diet, such as fat and weight loss, reduced insulin and glucose levels, and improved quality of life. However, he stresses the lack of evidence showing improved survival rates and cautions against using keto as a standalone treatment. He advises considering it only as an adjunct to standard care like chemotherapy, surgery, and radiation, and always under medical supervision. This episode aims to provide clarity and empower viewers in making informed health decisions.
