A ketogenic diet promotes tumour growth in the small intestine in susceptible mice. In people, diet advice might need to be tailored to individual cancer risks.

What about a high fat high carb diet?

Obesity is linked to higher risk for many cancers

That'll make you fat and bring on metabolic syndrome and all that

As long as it's high in saturated fats and simple carbs, you'll be fine. But don't do anything physically demanding, or could be considered exercise.

Didn't you mean complex carbs?

But don’t do anything physically demanding, or could be considered exercise.

He's joking.

Complex carbs are like corn and potatoes. They break down slower and give you more energy over time. They're not super great but simple carbs are like white bread and candy, which spike energy and blood sugar levels.

So unsaturated fat and complex carbs

[–] P00ptart@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

Yes, if I wasn't joking. Hence the not doing anything physical.

Edit; whoops. I see my mistake. Fixed the unsaturated to saturated, thanks.

Edit: edit: stop ruining my poorly written jokes!

You seem to have gone on an emotional rollercoaster

[–] P00ptart@lemmy.world 2 points 22 hours ago

Not emotional, but cognitive. Lol

Been working overtime in a foundry during a heat wave. Brain no worky right.
