    I saw a study somewhere linking it to increased risk of liver mets. I don't remember where.

    Amy Roach from Good Morning America who is a breast cancer survivor is currently on this diet and there is a good research on it in preventing cancer.

    Luttece, I think there is some very preliminary evidence that ketogenic diets MAY slow progression with some cancers (such as some brain cancers) but the research is overall still in early days, and probably not as robust as currently exists for Mediterranean diet patterns and reduced cancer incidence

    As far as I’m aware, there is no evidence yet that the ketogenic diet (or any diet, actually) definitively prevents cancer in humans. We will all be happy if that evidence ever emerges, that is for sure!
