Fasting or fasting-mimicking diets (FMDs) lead to wide alterations in growth factors and in metabolite levels, generating environments that can reduce the capability of cancer cells to adapt and survive and thus improving the effects of cancer therapies.

We pay premium dental coverage through @Humana . My wife had fillings for cavities in her back teeth. These were causing severe tooth pain. @Humana refused to pay a dime and stated sorry "they only cover front teeth". Our dentist was shocked. What a scam. #humanainsurancescam

Can you drink wine on a ketogenic diet? Absolutely, if it's Dry Farm Wines. One glass/day (~200-250 ml) has little or no effect on blood ketones or glucose. I've tested nearly all the reds so far.
