Dr. Jason Fung, author of bestsellers on diabetes and obesity, presents a groundbreaking biography titled “The Cancer Code,” which redefines our understanding of cancer. He highlights a shift in cancer treatment as death rates decline, yet emphasizes that the fight is far from over. Fung critiques the medical community’s focus on genetics, or the “seed” of cancer, neglecting the “soil” that fosters its growth. He argues that insulin dysregulation, often linked to obesity and type 2 diabetes, is a primary cause of cancer. His approach includes strategies like intermittent fasting and reducing insulin-stimulating foods to combat this disease.
