 Metabolism. We hear this term all the time and usually we think about it with weight, right? Oh, you have a fast metabolism or slow metabolism. But metabolism is a lot more complex than that. And in a very basic way, metabolism means how do we take the food that we eat and convert it into energy so that our cells can grow? That is the fundamental principle of metabolism. You need your regular cells to keep growing. The problem is when you have metabolism to help cells grow, that same thing applies to cancer cells. So people are looking to see what about the metabolism is there that potentially helps cancer cells more than they do your regular cells? There's been a lot of lab research that shows of all of the different kind of building blocks that go into making your cells grow. There are three specific amino acids that are believed to be really kind of high yield or really desired by pancreatic cancer more so than necessary for just your regular cells to grow. So the thought is if we can remove these three amino acids that really seem to be, you know, the steak and potatoes for pancreatic cancer, can we slow down the growth or even impair the pancreatic cancer's ability to be able to grow like it does? This finding in the lab and with research is actually being studied right now. There are diets that are being designed to see let's reduce those three amino acids from being consumed or let's eliminate them entirely and let's observe to see if what we're seeing in the lab actually translates to a clinical significance meaning sure enough these pancreatic cancers seem to have an Achilles heel when they're robbed of these three amino acids. Faith is looking at exactly that. Let's completely eliminate those three amino acids from the diet in hopes that that will actually starve the pancreatic cancer cells and prevent them from growing.
