[1], In another study, the effects of porcine pancreatic enzyme (PPE) extracts on survival and tumor growth were examined in 5- to 6-week-old male beige X-linked immunodeficient mice. Such cells do fine in the absence of oxygen, since the metabolic machinery of glycolysis doesnt require it. However, a few thoughts come to mind: 1) Seyfried uses a calorie restricted diet as well for cancer. 2nd glaring issue is he only focuses on Atkins (which, as I already stated is NOT a keto diet).
