Isn’t glutamine also part of vegan diets? I don’t eat meat myself, but your assertion has me wondering about glutamine.

Yes, and your body requires it for things like muscle maintenance.

Also, sugar is essential to what makes you you, that is, the brain requires glucose to function.

The goal is to reduce excess intake of these things to reduce their availability for any cancer cells to use to grow and divide.

  • Sure, and the body makes its own glucose. The only way to deplete that is prolonged fasting.

    If you‘re specifically aiming for low glutamine, going vegan won’t cut it though, depending on what foods you leave in. Soy is high in it. Eg a glass of milk is lower glutamine than a serving of tofu.
