Fasting Heightens Chemotherapy Benefits Starvation paired with cancer drugs slowed or stopped unchecked cell growth in yeast and mouse models of cancer, outpacing or matching the isolated effects of chemo. By Hannah Waters \| February 8, 2012 Fasting can protect cells from stress and damage, such as oxidation or radiation, and has been found to protect healthy cells from chemotherapy. But can the practice also help fight cancer? There is now evidence to support this idea, from research on cancer models of yeast and tumor-ridden mice, published today (February 8) in Science Translational Medicine. Starved organisms survived longer when treated with chemotherapy than those on a normal diet, and healthy cells were less likely to sustain damage. [snip] the-scientist.com *C.
