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.Â
