if not carbohydrate shaped, why add carbohydrates?

okay poor title, but im dumb and couldnt word it right

my question is if the Warburg effect says cancer cells need more glucose then a normal cell due to damaged mitochondria, why isnt reducing carbohydrates indicated? at least in conjunction with how ever you treat the cancer? (surgery or radiation or w.e.)

wikipedia specifically says

>Society and culture

>The Warburg effect has served as a locus of popular misconceptions that cancer can be treated by reducing food and carbohydrate intake to supposedly "starve" tumours. In reality, the health of people with cancer is best served by maintaining a healthy diet.^([1])

is this 100% accurate? say i ate carbohydrates that are considered healthy ( so i dont mean twinkies) maybe 300g sweet potato a day, this wont have any effect on the cancer as compared to someone doing some keto shit keeping carbs under 20g?

Started to transition to carnivore, but i cant even do keto right lol (more in description)

heres my day of eating today, im at 40g carbs, even if you consider fibre im at 33g, but im going for total carbs

my most pressing issue right now is high blood pressure, second is weight, third is i think i have issues with fibre, but i dont want to get in arguments about fibre here, i know thats contentious

and my day of eating isnt over, my most carb heavy meal is ahead, i have some strawberries i need to eat, so that could add another 25g carbs

the sugar in the picture was a candy, i found a candy while cleaning today and ate it

but i think its crazy im at 40g carbs when i ate mostly animal foods, maybe i could knock a couple off with the milk in the eggs, and the candy i ate, but thats still over 20g just eating a few vegtables
