Can you believe, this was published in 1989.
Mice were given a ketosis inducing high fat diet (using MCT oil as 80% of calories), this reduced tumour mass whilst maintaining body weight, reducing cachexia, which is the most dangerous phase of cancer.

The problem in dietary interventions in mice studies, is a lack of clarity in an accurate description of the diet and its subsequent metabolic/endocrine effects. Many research papers, when calling an intervention a high fat diet, they actually mean high carb with high fat...
Usually the calories from fat and carbs are roughly equal and the remainder is protein. This is literally the western diet! the worst combination.
A high fat diet that is ketogenic, is v low in carbohydrates. The degree of carbohydrate restriction varies between species. Degree of restriction may be modulated depending on primary source of fat, with MCT oil being very ketogenic, allowing for a greater carbohydrate % intake
