     @bloggerski @TrevorGoodchild @sickburnbro No.
     Tumors (and other diseases) eat a lot of calories.
     When they are small - just a few cells big - regular fasting can probably starve them without hurting the less hungry normal body cells.
     When the tumor is already big, it takes whatever it needs until the body dies.

     @quercus @bloggerski @TrevorGoodchild @sickburnbro Specifically, tumor cells eat a lot of SUGAR. They dont do so well at metabolizing in the mitochondria, and the basic metabolic pathway produces only 2ATP from sugar, so they need more of the sugar to get the same energy.
     
     This is partly why medication that targets metabolism is so effective, because normal cells can handle the lack.

     @sickburnbro Related, been keeping an eye on this trend for some time. The ancients were onto something with periodic fasting.

     @TrevorGoodchild @sickburnbro Haven't read the article yet but is it possible cachexia (waisting disease) from cancer is a cancer fighting mechanism from the body itself ?
