MODIFIED KETOGENIC DIET AND BRAIN CANCER
Could a modified ketogenic (KD) diet be beneficial for those who have been diagnosed with a brain tumor? According to a recent study from the American Academy of Neurology, there are positive findings for those who have been diagnosed with a brain tumor and adopted a modified ketogenic diet. The study was not initially designed to determine whether the diet could slow the growth rate of brain tumors, called astrocytoma, or improve survival, rather it was developed to observe if the diet was safe and feasible for those with brain tumors as an existing condition. The study authors noted several positive changes which occurred in both the body and brain. These changes included a decrease in hemoglobin A1c levels, insulin levels, and body fat mass, along with an increase in lean body mass, as well as concentrations of ketones and metabolic changes within the tumor.
