IL6 and neoplasm: discovered that incorporating ω-3 LCPUFAs into a low carbohydrate diet (15% straight-chain starch/soy/fish oil, approximately the same ω-6 LCPUFAs content but with 47.3 g/kg ω-3 LCPUFAs and an ω-6/ω-3 ratio is 0.7) significantly reduced IL-6 levels in the plasma, resulting in less lung nodules and slowing tumor growth.10
