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.

So these mice were on a high carb diet with exogenous ketones? 6% energy from fat isn't ketogenic

6% from soybean oil, total energy from fat was about 80%, except they didn't count fibre in the diet as carbohydrates... if you do that its a 15% carb diet.

I don't tolerate sugar or fibre well, and I'll avoid plant oils in general
