Cancer cells preferentially use glucose for energy, suggesting that lowering glucose availability could reduce cancer risk and growth.

“we know that cancer cells, they love sustaining themselves anaerobically . . . or let me rephrase that, with glucose. They love glucose. So if we can dramatically lower, whether it's storage of glycogen, plasma, glucose, whatever it might be, then in theory, we should be able to lower the risk of cancer and limit cancer growth, cancer cell growth.”
