New research shows that one of these metabolic throwaways plays a potentially deadly role in the development of cancer. Observations of metastasising cells revealed something intriguing—a high level of something called methylmalonic acid (MMA), a metabolic byproduct that appears to accumulate as we get older. MMA accumulation is linked to high-protein diets, so it is possible that a low-protein diet might help cancer patients respond better. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
