Much research indicates fasting does Reduce cancer

Updates have been added concerning research opposing the Lancet article. Fairnsquare (talk) 16:56, 22 November 2024 (UTC)

Claims of "misconceptions" must be carefully monitored. Often those who claim that others are misinformed are themselves misinformed. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Fairnsquare (talk • contribs) 17:30, 22 November 2024 (UTC)

Junk sources and misrepresented sources do not make the case, however. You material is thus reverted. Bon courage (talk) 17:41, 22 November 2024 (UTC)

Which are the junk or misrepresented sources that you claim? Fairnsquare (talk) 23:49, 23 November 2024 (UTC)

Oncotarget for example is a predatory journal, and none of the sources support "Claims of misconception may themselves be a misconception" which seems to be your own WP:OR, Your other sources say things like

Human studies examining the effects of intermittent fasting on insulin‐stimulated growth and other relevant hormonal and inflammatory indicators of carcinogenesis, in contrast, appear to be clinically unimportant thus far.

Contributions from people without no expertise in this field is included under this topic

Grimmes have published "0" papers on Warburg effect, and has no experience or whatsoever in metabolism. It's a shame to cite such clueless "opinions" as reference, which is misleading and insult to people who have worked very hard on this topic. Ravidmurthy (talk) 15:31, 20 December 2024 (UTC)

Lancet Oncology is a golden source, especially for this mundane information about quackery. If you keep edit warring and socking you will likely be blocked and/or the article locked. Bon courage (talk) 18:25, 21 December 2024 (UTC)

I'm not Ravidmurthy, but I am the one who has been doing most of the editing here. Grimmes and O'riordan simply do not know what they are talking about here and if the Lancet cared about their reputation they'd issue a retraction on the article at least with regards to keto diets and the Warburg Effect.

You seem to see yourself as an expert judge of who is a legit authority? You think Carcinogenesis/Oxford (where Seyfried et al. have published) is "predatory"?

Re Dr. Seyfried himself, he "received his Ph.D. in Genetics and Biochemistry from the University of Illinois, Urbana, in 1976. He did his undergraduate work at the University of New England, where he recently received the distinguished Alumni Achievement Award. He also holds a Master’s degree in Genetics from Illinois State University." And he isn't just a "lone wolf" or "some guy."

I realize that sometimes very bright, highly credentialed individuals can come up with "fringe" ideas that turn out to be wrong. But with Dr. Seyfried he runs an entire lab at Boston College (a fringe university?) with plenty of junior scientists who support his work. And he has scientists elsewhere in and out of the academy who support the hypothesis.

When I say "et al.," this is them. Those who accompany Dr. Seyfried in his work, demonstrating the very least likely efficacy of a keto diet on certain kinds of cancers.

Seems to be a WP:BIGMISTAKE. Misplaced Pages is not going to indulge quackery. Bon courage (talk) 19:31, 23 December 2024 (UTC)

This article might be mixing up "aerobic glycolysis" and "anaerobic glycolysis"

Both are referred to in the article, in a way that seems to me to imply that this is the case, but I am very unsure about this, so I request that someone more knowledgeable about the subject(s)—and/or with the time to read through the sources cited in the articles—review this and the other two articles.

Off-topic content

I just removed the "Warburg Effect in non-cancer cells" section, as it was completely off-topic and not supported by RS (one of the sources was a commentary/editorial and thus not reliable; the other never mentioned the Warburg effect at all). Relating the well-known metabolic burst of immune cells to the metabolism of cancer cells is WP:OR in the absence of sources. I see an awful lot of tangentially-related material in this article that needs to be toned down as well. I'm also working on Metabolic theory of cancer and the more I read the more I think these two articles will have to be merged at some point. Feedback welcome.
