I recently saw a video discussing fasting effects on cancer.

In the past it seems the consensus was that since cancer cells need more fuel than regular cells, starving them is beneficial in combating it.

But recently it has been discovered that some cancers can grow better with ketones.

So it seems that some cancers benefit from fasting while others are starved from fasting.
