I’ve been doing Keto on and off for about 2 years now but after reading the thread here “ why have young people started getting cancer” , I have worked myself up with worry.
Apparently Keto is good for bowel / colon cancer as it starves the tumour from glucose but then on the cancer research website, low fibre results in a high risk of bowel cancer. Then Google tells me so do artificial sweeteners. So I’ve been eating treats that contain erythritol or malititol whilst on Keto.
So I vowed myself to stop keto and eat some carbs. I googled keto and cancer and it says keto is good for cancer sufferers?! But if you don’t eat much carbs, you don’t get much fibre so higher risk of bowel cancer.
Fibre is in mostly oats, brown bread, brown rice etc = high carbs.
So what do I do?? So much conflicting information.
