A3.2 Healthy mono- and polyunsaturated fats are a great way to sneak in calories with less volume. Healthy fat examples include olives and olive oil, avocados and avocado oil, nuts, seeds (and nut and seed butters) and fatty fish like salmon. #PancChat

This is so important. Managing your mental health is an important part of cancer treatment. #PancChat

A6.1 Dehydration can cause inflammation in the pancreas, so it’s important to drink plenty of fluids. A good rule of thumb: Aim to drink half of your weight in ounces daily. So, if you weigh 150 pounds, try to drink 75 ounces of water daily. letswinpc.org/disease-manage… #PancChat

We did not know this and wow. Wow. #PancChat

A7.2 Fun Fact: A normally functioning pancreas secretes about eight cups of enzyme-containing pancreatic juice into the duodenum daily. #PancChat

A7.4 Craig's Cause Pancreatic Cancer Society has a great calculator for pancreatic cancer patients to help them calculate the amount of enzymes they need for each meal. letswinpc.org/disease-manage…

We need to advocate for insurance coverage of pancreatic enzymes. They are unaffordable & this contributes to non-adherence & subsequent suffering. #pancchat

A8.2 Dr. Matthew Katz explains the benefits of even the most modest amount of exercise throughout pancreatic cancer treatment. letswinpc.org/disease-manage…

A9.1 We're talking about myths and keto diets are part of that --A ketogenic diet will significantly reduce blood sugar levels as the body shifts into using fat for fuel; the resulting ketone bodies may be problematic. #PancChat

A9.2 Removing juice from whole produce strips out important nutrients, including fiber. Unfortunately, when you remove that fiber, you not only lose nutrients but also flood your system with carbohydrates. So it’s like getting a large dose of sugar all in one shot. #PancChat

A9.3 There’s a lot of talk about acidic foods fueling cancer—and that cancer cannot grow in alkaline environments—but there isn’t any research to substantiate the claims. #PancChat

A9.4 Some pancreatic cancer patients are understandably leery about eating fat. Depending on your tumor location, inflammation level, and treatment course, your body may lack the necessary enzymes to digest fat. This is where PERT comes into play. #PancChat

A9.5 Patients have to weed through a slew of misinformation to get the facts -- including LJ Amaral MS, RD, CSO! We asked nutrition experts to separate fact from fiction for cancer’s most intractable nutrition myths: letswinpc.org/disease-manage…
