The findings provide evidence that a methionine-free diet can affect tumor-cell metabolism. Low-methionine foods include fruits, nuts, vegetables, grains and beans, in other words, a vegan diet.

It could also make chemotherapy and radiotherapy more effective, according to their tests… The findings were published in Nature.
