A Rutgers-led study found that eating less protein may help slow liver cancer in people with impaired liver function. When damaged livers can’t properly clear toxic ammonia from protein metabolism, the excess ammonia can feed tumor growth. In mice, reducing dietary protein lowered ammonia levels, slowed tumor growth, and significantly improved survival.
