Author of the international
bestsellers The Diabetes Code and The Obesity Code Dr.
Jason Fung returns with an eye-opening biography of cancer in which he offers a
radical new paradigm for understanding cancer—and
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 “War on Cancer” has
hardly been won.
In The Cancer Code, Dr.
Jason Fung offers a revolutionary new understanding of this invasive, often
fatal disease—what it is, how it manifests, and why it is so challenging to treat. In
this rousing narrative, Dr. Fung identifies the medical community’s many
missteps in cancer research—in particular, its focus on genetics, or what he
terms the “seed” of cancer, at the expense of examining the “soil,” or the
conditions under which cancer flourishes. 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 significantly
increase an individual’s 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 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. The seed of cancer may exist in all of us, but the power to
change the soil is in our hands.
