Amanda King, a naturopathic doctor, pushes back on recent headlines claiming ketogenic diets fuel cancer growth, arguing the studies behind those claims used mice fed inflammatory seed-oil-based “keto” chow rather than a clean, clinically-designed therapeutic diet.

Worth reading if you want a clearer, more nuanced take on the keto-and-cancer debate than the alarmist headlines offer — though she’s clear it’s not a one-size-fits-all approach and needs professional guidance.
