1. Ketogenic Research Leads to “Fight
Cancer with a Ketogenic Diet”
eBook
By Dominic D'Agostino

2. Introduction
• A researcher and educator, Dr. Dominic D'Agostino currently
explores treatments for cancer and disease-related muscle
wasting in his role an assistant professor at the University of
South Florida. Dr. Dominic D'Agostino has recently been
studying the use of ketogenic diets for cancer treatment, and
his research, along with the work of researchers from Boston
College, was used to develop an eBook titled Fight Cancer
with a Ketogenic Diet.
In the text, the author and nutrition expert Ellen Davis
explains that ketogenic diets are designed to increase ketone
levels while decreasing blood glucose and lowering insulin
signaling, which creates a metabolic state that nourishes
healthy cells and starves cancer cells.

3. Ketogenic Diet
• A ketogenic diet is effective because cancer cells rely on
glucose for energy, and unlike normal cells, they can’t
process ketones as a substitute fuel source. By adhering
to a diet low in carbohydrates and high in fats,
individuals can achieve “ketosis” so that they body burns
fat and ketones for energy rather than glucose.
The 120-page eBook reviews the latest research on
ketogenic diets in relation to cancer, outlines what foods
to consume, and explains how to track dietary progress.
