Overview
Author of the international bestsellersĀ The Diabetes CodeĀ andĀ The Obesity CodeĀ Dr. Jason Fung returns with an eye-opening biography of cancer in which he offers a radical new paradigm for understanding cancerāand issues a call to action for reducing risk moving forward.
Our understanding 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 the āWar on Cancerā has hardly been won.
InĀ The Cancer Code,Ā Dr. Jason Fung offers a revolutionary new understanding of this invasive, often fatal diseaseāwhat it is, how it manifests, and why it is so challenging to treat. In this rousing narrative, Dr. Fung identifies the medical communityās many missteps in cancer researchāin particular, its focus on genetics, or what he terms the āseedā of cancer, at the expense of examining the āsoil,ā or the conditions under which cancer flourishes. Dr. Fungāwhose groundbreaking work in the treatment of obesity and diabetes has won him international acclaimāsuggests that the primary disease pathway of cancer is caused by the dysregulation of insulin. In fact, obesity and type 2 diabetes significantly increase an individualās risk of cancer.
In this accessible read, Dr. Fung provides a new paradigm for dealing with cancer, with recommendations for what we can do to create a hostile soil for this dangerous seed. One such strategy is intermittent fasting, which reduces blood glucose, lowering insulin levels. Another, eliminating intake of insulin-stimulating foods, such as sugar and refined carbohydrates.
For hundreds of years, cancer has been portrayed as a foreign invader weāve 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. The seed of cancer may exist in all of us, but the power to change the soil is in our hands.Ā
