Nasha Winters



We can now really see that cardiovascular disease and cancer are very much fed by sugar and carbohydrates and starch and grains. We are finally doing the research. We have people like Gary Taubes...

Nasha Winters is an American acupuncturist, naturopath, anti-sugar campaigner and low-carb advocate who promotes the ketogenic diet as a therapy for cancer.

Winters has no scientific medical training. She received her Doctorate in Naturopathic Medicine from Southwest College of Naturopathic Medicine in 2003. Winters believes that cancer is a metabolic disease. She operates the website DrNasha. Winters is the co-author of The Metabolic Approach to Cancer, published in 2017. She thinks that cancer is fuelled by high carbohydrate dieting and that people should avoid all carbohydrates and go on a ketogenic diet to be cured.

The idea that sugary foods specifically feed cancer cells is completely wrong, and there is no scientific evidence that a ketogenic diet can cure cancer.
