        Thanks for this.  I think like you regarding diet, but I have grown more curious about the claims of a ketogenic diet, which they claim actually provides less glucose than your body would normally produce.  You have to take a leap of faith to believe their claims though, because of the lack of testing them.

          Some evidence that BRAF (but not NRAS/ C-KIT etc.) melanoma actually prefers fat to sugar, and that ketogenic diets promote tumor growth in v600e mutated pts — just ANOTHER CONFUSING WRINKLE THANKS SCIENCE. https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2017/01/170112141359.htm
