“Cancer, above all other diseases, has countless secondary causes. But, even for cancer, there is only one prime cause. Summarized in a few words, the prime cause of cancer is the replacement of the respiration of oxygen in normal body cells by a fermentation of sugar.” ~Otto H. Warburg Until recently, Dr. Warburg’s hypothesis that diet and cancer were linked has been marginalized by the persistent belief in the oncology world that cancer is a genetic disease. However, in a new book Cancer as a Metabolic Disease: On the Origin, Management, and Prevention of Cancer, Dr. Thomas Seyfried has placed Dr. Warburg’s efforts to solve the cancer puzzle back in the medical limelight. The ketogenic diet for cancer treatment is a lower calorie diet which emphasizes the consumption of foods which are high in fats, moderate in protein, and very low in carbohydrate. The ketogenic diet is designed to target cancer cell metabolism by reducing the metabolic factors that promote cancer growth, while protecting normal cells from the toxic effects of traditional therapies.
