Dr. Thomas Seyfried says low-carb starves cancerous tumor cells

There is yet another positive health benefit to livin' la vida low-carb this week published in the scientific journal Nutrition & Metabolism as a way to fight cancer cells that are causing life-threatening tumors which up until now has meant painful chemotherapy and radiation treatments.

But we've already seen a series of research studies provided over the past year confirming the low-carb treatment option for other areas of the body that cancer inflicts, including the pancreas, the esophagus, and the kidneys. This latest study confirms the use of a high-fat, low-carb diet on brain cancer, too!

Research supervisor Dr. Thomas Seyfried, professor of biology at Boston College, overlooked this study looking at the impact of a high-fat, low-carb diet on lab mice with malignant brain tumors.

The researchers divided the mice into three distinctive dietary groups:

GROUP 1--Low-fat, high-carb diet
GROUP 2--Unlimited amounts of high-fat, low-carb diet
GROUP 3--Restricted amounts of high fat, low-carb diet
