Methionine restriction shrinks tumors by ~90%.
-
Excess methylation is an epigenetic driver of cancer, but restricting methionine:
• Prevents tumor initiation
• Stops the proliferation of existing tumorsGlycine is our endogenous buffer of excess methylation from methionine.
-
@Serotoninskeptic very interesting. Cancer have what's called "methionine addiction".
-
@Serotoninskeptic can you link the study please?
-
@Serotoninskeptic said in Methionine restriction shrinks tumors by ~90%.:
Glycine
So once again, are we to assume that an animal-based (which is high in Glycine) is the go-to way to get our nutrition?
-
@MarkusAllenUSA animal based is not necessarily high I glycine . In most cases it is way higher in methionine because of all the muscle meat.
-
@Mauritio Yea ideally more ground meats, broths, and gelatin would be included in an animal based diet which is usually not the case for most people who follow it.

I tried to track down the image hoping it would lead me to the study but no luck.
-
@Insomniac - I found the image and text. But I could not find the source material.
-
i tried sending it to Google lens which send me to a Chinese website, which was semi helpful. Then i googled some of the Authors mentioned and it might be this study.
-
@Mauritio - Yes, you are correct. The image is on page 5 of this pdf.
