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.

Didn't you mean complex carbs?

[–] xep@discuss.online 2 points 1 day ago

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

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!

[–] P00ptart@lemmy.world 2 points 13 hours ago

Not emotional, but cognitive. Lol

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