Eating To Cure Cancer

I have been hearing a lot about this new diet, which is really and old diet, that might be helpful in curing cancer.  Now don't get me wrong I don't believe that there is only one way to cure or treat cancer, but a varied approach can't hurt.  I have a niece currently on this diet and it seems to be helping.  So I put it out here for your review.  To read more of the article go to Ketogenic Diet.

By Dr. Mercola

To some, a ketogenic diet amounts to nothing less than a drug-free cancer treatment. The diet calls for eliminating carbohydrates, replacing them with healthy fats and protein. 

The premise is that since cancer cells need glucose to thrive, and carbohydrates turn into glucose in your body, then cutting out carbs literally starves the cancer cells. 

This type of diet, in which you replace carbs with moderate amounts of high quality protein and high amounts of beneficial fat, is what I recommend for everyone, whether you have cancer or not. It's simply a diet that will help optimize your weight and health overall, as eating this way will help you convert from carb burning mode to fat burning.
