Thanks, LC FP, your post clears up a question I've had about whether tumor cells could get sufficient glucose from gluconeogenesis. I'd love to see the study you suggest. Perhaps KD should be combined with intravenous vitamin C therapy, about which I've also read promising reports, as a way of treating cancer.

One more question . . . As per Michael Eades, even under strict ketogenic conditions, ketone bodies only replace about half the glucose requirements for those cells that require glucose but can also use ketone bodies, leaving about 70-80 grams of glucose/day supplied by gluconeogenesis. If ketone bodies ingbit glycolitic enzymes, do they prevent the glycolysis in normal cells that use glucose even under ketogenic conditions?
