- Lots of commentary on sugar and carbs
- Dr. Tims says if you do carbs, there will be less impact when paired with proteins or food in general. Handful of chips bad, but apple with good PB is better.
- Some comments on artificial sweeteners.

Nutrition with Judy: Metabolic Therapy for Cancer Patients w/ Thomas Seyfried
- "Often times it's the medication that's killing the patient"
- "The mutations you see in cancer are the result of metabolic disfunction, not the cause of the disease."
- Changing dogma is like changing political or religious inclinations. Very difficult and deeply-rooted.
- Cancer cells can't survive without glucose and/or glutamine
- Avoid fructose if possible, but it's not as bad as refined glucose. We have engineered fruit to be over-sweet.
- Seyfried has the mojo keytone/gluecose meter and methodology. GKI
- Metabolic recovery is a lot of work on the part of the patient. Much harder than sitting for chemo.
- If cancer is genetic? Why did our ancestors and people before 1800s see so little cancer? There has never been a documented case of cancer in a female chimpanzee, even though she shares 98% of our genome.
- There are risk factors like BRCA1, but they're not predictive. Healthy women still do fine.
- Boston zoo said that feeding gorillas jelly donuts would be animal cruelty.
- Be careful of processed and cured meats: sausages, lunch meat, etc.

- Dr. Seyfried is the OG for the Metabolic Theory
- Glucose and glutamine are the two most important things in cancer.
- According to the Metabolic Theory, targetted imunity drugs will always struggle with diferentiated cells, since it's the metabolic system that lets randomness creep in.
- Cancer can only ferment -- so it's very important to manage sugar and glutamine.
- No diet can control glutamine. Seyfried uses drugs to 'pulse' the supression and let the body recover.
- Some people do well on longer-term, lower-dose chemotherapies, supplemented with keto eating.
