Paleo Diet: Fasting And Cancer
"According to Valter Longo, a cancer researcher from USC, "normal cells" go into survival mode during starvation. They display "extreme resistance to stresses" until the "lean period" ends, much like an animal in hibernation mode. Cancer cells, on the other hand, are always "on." Their "goal" is to grow and reproduce and consume resources. For cancer cells, there is no novel survival mode to switch on. If this is the case, fasting should both improve our resistance to cancer and our body's ability to survive it (and the treatments used against it, like chemotherapy)."
