(NaturalNews) The "ketogenic diet" has become one of the latest diet fads, heralded by Hollywood's healthiest stars. But what exactly does this new buzzword mean? Well, the "keto diet," as some like to call it, is notorious for being low in carbohydrates. Maintaining a low-carb diet influences the body into a state known as ketosis.

When an individual eats a high-carb diet, their body produces glucose, the easiest molecule to be converted into energy. The release of glucose triggers insulin production as insulin is used to transport glucose throughout the body.

Because glucose serves as the primary energy source, fats are not needed and are therefore stored. But when you lower carb intake, the body enters into a natural state called ketosis, a process that the body uses when food consumption is low.

During this state, the body produces ketones, made from fats processed in the liver.

"The end goal of a properly maintained keto diet is to force your body into this metabolic state. We don't do this through starvation of calories, but through starvation of carbohydrates. Our bodies are extremely adaptive to what you put into it – when you overload it with fats and take away carbohydrates, it will begin to burn ketones as the main energy source," according to Ruled.me.

Reducing carbohydrate intake

Keto dieters pretty much omit sugars entirely (including fruit), and stick to a diet consisting of about 70 percent fats, 25 percent protein and 5 percent carbs. Refined carbs, including breads, pastas, cereal, potatoes and beans, are prohibited.

Maintaining the fasting state of ketosis is great for weight loss, but it carries some other benefits, as well. Ketones signal the body to express new restorative and healing genes, according to TheTruthAboutCancer.com.

They help reduce inflammation, stimulate the immune system, and slow down or prevent degenerative diseases. Historically, the human body is used to fasting. Ketosis prompts healing and cell regeneration, as well as increases longevity.

But the era of fast food, junk food, and sugary foods has pushed people away from eating healthy fats. Instead, the typical American diet includes loading up on sugar, unhealthy trans fat and plenty of carbs.

"We've become SUGAR burners and not FAT burners and are always using carbohydrate metabolism for energy. This dietary issue is one of the main reasons you are seeing so many degenerative diseases, cancer, heart disease, diabetes, strokes, Alzheimer's, etc."

Cancer prevention

Last year, an estimated 1.6 million Americans were expected to be diagnosed with cancer, nearly 600,000 of whom would presumably not survive the disease. A substantial number of lives are also taken as a result of harsh cancer treatments.

While we don't know exactly how many people are killed by treatments such as chemotherapy (most deaths are recorded as a result of cancer), some estimate that deaths reach into the millions annually.

Interested almost solely in profit, the medical establishment routinely suppresses information about cancer prevention and natural cancer cures, cures that don't destroy the body's healthy cells and tissue.

After losing several family and friends to cancer, Ty Bollinger decided to dedicate his life to advocating health freedom, becoming an avid cancer researcher. In 2015, Bollinger released a ground-breaking documentary film called The Truth About Cancer, detailing numerous ways to both prevent and beat the disease.

The film was largely censored by the mainstream media, incentivized to conceal the truth about cancer cures and prevention. This is because mainstream media outlets literally survive on funding from the very industries that are making people sick.

But The Truth About Cancer is back and it's better than ever. Normally, it costs around $100 to access the 9-part docuseries; however, beginning April 12, viewers who enter their name and email can watch the film for FREE online.

Don't wait another minute, visit this website now to sign up for free. Oh, and make sure to share with your friends and family, because they deserve to know the truth about cancer too. Enjoy!
