Friday Favorites: What Causes Cancer to Metastasize and How to Potentially Help Control it with Diet

Palmitic acid, a saturated fat concentrated in meat and dairy, can boost the metastatic potential of cancer cells through the fat receptor CD36. Randomized controlled trials show that lowering saturated fat intake can lead to improved breast cancer survival.

This is the first and second videos in a three-part series on cancer metastasis. The third and final one is The Food That Can Downregulate the Metastatic Cancer Gene (https://nutritionfacts.org/video/the-...
.

This reminds me of my video Cholesterol Feeds Breast Cancer Cells (https://nutritionfacts.org/video/Chol...
, one of many on cancer. If you’re looking for a good overview, check out How Not to Die from Cancer (https://nutritionfacts.org/video/how-...
.

I released another video on cancer metastasis. See Blocking the Cancer Metastasis Enzyme MMP-9 with Beans and Chickpeas (https://nutritionfacts.org/video/bloc...
