Just saw a post by "blocked by Pete Evans" on facebook claiming that some research looking at blocking glutamine metabolism as a way to fight cancer. The fellow seems to think that this argues against targeting glucose against cancer. Too bad nobody on "our" side is aware of the role of glutamine, here. Then everybody there piled on the paleo diet for containing meat, which contains glutamine... a problem with that idea is that human beings contain quite a bit of meat, whether they eat it or not. In this case, it does take a drug. Dietary glutamine doesn't even generally make it past the gut, anyways. Rapidly proliferating tissue loves glutamine, even when, as in the case of the gut line, the proliferation is actually desireable.
At risk of explaining my "joke," in case people sort of new to this stuff read this--Thomas Seyfried and other major front men championing targeting glucose are well aware of glutamine as a source of energy for cancer growth. So now what I said is hilarious, right?
