Which makes sense as many cancers don't do respiration instead glycolysis - higher BG would let the cancer out-grow the immune system.<br /><br />I suspect Statins increase cancer rates in the long run. karlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13490274388549702613noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8550919611653842066.post-26716435024672762502015-06-04T19:50:58.807-07:002015-06-04T19:50:58.807-07:00There are a couple of things going on - high LDL p...There are a couple of things going on - high LDL protects against liver infection with Hep C, which is a carcinogen, and probably plays a role in antiviral immunity more generally; many viruses are carcinogenic.<br />In the Japan study (last post) the highest LDL quartiles had zero incidence of serious liver disease. Cancer metastatis causes serious liver disease; is that then saying that high LDL prevents metastatis?<br />Also, low LDL is an effect of cancers, and low-grade systemic inflammations which can increase the risk of cancer, in ways independent of the protective effect of high LDL.Puddleghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00953398103675945541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8550919611653842066.post-32891644260853179962015-06-04T19:41:46.157-07:002015-06-04T19:41:46.157-07:00Not long time ago Dr.Briffa had a post about the i...Not long time ago Dr.Briffa had a post about the immunity/cholesterol connection http://www.drbriffa.com/2013/04/25/does-cholesterol-play-a-beneficial-role-in-immunity/. He was talking about the resistance to infections, but I guess , a better immunity allows a better protection from a cancer.
