A ketogenic diet promotes tumour growth in the small intestine in susceptible mice. In people, diet advice might need to be tailored to individual cancer risks.

They conclude the cancers are triggered by the fats not ketones based on the study title (I haven't had time to read the study yet)

the study isn't open access, I'm pretty sure nobody has read the study including the nature "article" author.

it's pretty bad form, and intellectually dishonest, to share a paywalled article on a paywalled paper, just because you like the title... ensuring nobody will read what is actually said is pretty anti-science.
