Author of the international bestsellers The Diabetes Code and The Obesity Code Dr. Jason Fung returns with a groundbreaking look at the origins and treatment of cancer, providing practical tools to help prevent this deadly disease from taking root. Our knowledge of cancer is slowly undergoing a revolution, allowing for the development of more effective treatments. For the first time ever, the death rate from cancer is showing a steady decline . . . but there is still a long way to go when it comes to prevention. In The Cancer Code, Dr. Jason Fung draws on current research to offer a revolutionary new understanding of this invasive, often fatal disease. Cancer, he contends, is in fact a metabolic condition, with obesity-not genetics-as the most significant risk factor. Dr. Fung-whose groundbreaking work in the treatment of obesity and diabetes has won him international acclaim-suggests that the primary disease pathway of cancer is caused by the dysregulation of insulin. In fact, obesity and type 2 diabetes should no longer be thought of as isolated health concerns, but as diseases that lay the groundwork for cancer. In this accessible read, Dr. Fung provides a new paradigm for dealing with cancer, with recommendations for what we can do to stave it off. One such strategy is intermittent fasting, which reduces blood glucose, lowering insulin levels. Another, restricting the number of calories derived from insulin-stimulating foods, such as sugar and refined carbohydrates. For hundreds of years, cancer has been portrayed as a foreign invader we've been powerless to stop. By reshaping our view of cancer as an internal uprising of our own healthy cells, we can begin to take back control. And it all begins with what we eat. Mode of access: World Wide Web. Hoopla eBook.
