Protein diet protects against cancer: animal study

Cool article but I'm a little confused..

I know that carbs/sugars feed the cancer cells as well as the protein lowering blood sugar but I was also under the impression that protein makes your body acidic and that is a prime environment for cancer cell growth ?

Would like to know

2nd that. Everyone I know who has developed cancer has always been directed to lower their protein intake by their doctors.

Always thought high protein would worsen cancer. Wish to see further study on this especially on human.

I shared the same thoughts which is why I found this so interesting and worth posting...

Basically contradicts what we've been told to date.

From what I understand from the article, the high protein low carb environment would lower blood sugars therefor insulin being secreted by the body so it would starve the cancer since sugars/insulin is rocket fuel to those cancer cells but im still puzzled lol as protein will make ppl acidic.

Adams29 (i think) seems to know alot about cancer and diet and how they relate. Stewie would most like be able to clarify this.

Experts where are you lol ?

This is good explanation on the interplay with gluconeogenesis (from noncarbohydrate carbon sources) and glycolysis (from glucose sources) pathways involving cancer.

I didn't open the article above, so if this is of the same. Sorry.

I could message Dominic D' Agostino after thanksgiving. He's a lot more in-the-know than I am.



Cell Death and Disease - Gluconeogenesis combats cancer: opening new doors in cancer biologyAlthough an in-depth understanding of glycolytic switch in cancer metabolism has grown in recent years, however gluconeogenesis, which drives the metabolic flux in parallel and opposite to glycolysis, has got little attention.7 Gluconeogenesis is defined metabolically as the production of glucose from non-carbohydrate carbon sources such as pyruvate, lactate, glycerol and gluconeogenic amino acids. Thus, it is imperative that concomitant activation or downregulation of glycolysis and gluconeogenesis would cause a metabolic stress, which might in turn disrupt the metabolic rewiring of cancer cells. Targeting glycolysis/gluconeogenesis pathways as a consequence of metabolic reprogramming therefore is an attractive therapeutic strategy because it is central to the growth and survival of cancer cells.8

Maybe I read this wrong. So it's beneficial to prevent gluconeogenesis (GNG) with regards to battling cancer? If so would one do the opposite of what many think and actually eat more carbs and not a keto diet? so that the body never has to tap into protein to make glucose via GNG?
