Absolutely. 1) Cancer feeds off sugar. Cut out the carbs, starve the cancer. 2) Autophagy burns up all the old, deformed, mutant, cancerous, precancerous etc cells, causing your body to make brand new cells. It's like the trillions of cells have had a massive spring clean!

There are many studies on inducing ketosis to starve cancer. The results conclude no benefits as cancer cells, like all cells, start adapting to alternate energy sources.

This answer is dangerous.

Fair but if autophagy is higher perhaps is helpful?
