    Keto has mixed effects on cancer. It may starve tumors of energy. However, the keto diet can also worsen cancer by accelerating cachexia, a wasting syndrome that's often associated with late-stage cancer. Cancer studies have primarily been done on mice and not much is known about humans. Also every cancer is different.

    The theory is that cancer cells rely on glucose for energy, and a keto diet, which restricts carbohydrates and puts the body into ketosis, may help starve cancer cells.
    Some early research suggests that a ketogenic diet may help slow the growth of cancer cells or make them more susceptible to treatment. However, more research is needed to confirm these findings and determine whether the keto diet is safe and effective for people with cancer.
    It's important to speak with a doctor or registered dietitian before starting a keto diet, especially if you have cancer. They can help you determine if the diet is right for you and develop a safe and effective plan.
