0:00.0	So you're taking a type of cancer that does not metastasize and you're using it for metastases models and rodents.
0:18.0	It's already lost its external validation just by doing so.
0:23.6	You know, I've been very outspoken in social media against ketogenic diets and cancer,
0:29.6	not because I believe that ketones are the cause or that they drive cancer, but because
0:34.6	I recognize that ketones can drive cancer just as much,
0:38.8	if not more, than glucose can, depending upon where we're talking about.

2:02.8	Eric Helms. So that gives you an idea of the kind of reputation and standing that I'd put it in.
2:08.8	If you want more details about enrollment, what's involved in the course, and everything else,
2:14.6	just go to shredded by science.com slash academy. So shredded by science
2:19.1	dot com slash academy. And I'll also just pop a link in the show notes to this particular episode
2:24.6	just to make things easier. You can click through there as well. So on to today's episode. And
2:31.7	there is some important context to give to this discussion for a number of reasons
