For the first time ever, the death\u003cbr\u003erate from cancer is showing a steady decline . . . but the \"War on Cancer\" has\u003cbr\u003ehardly been won.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn \u003cem\u003eThe Cancer Code, \u003c\/em\u003e Dr.\u003cbr\u003eJason Fung offers a revolutionary new understanding of this invasive, often\u003cbr\u003efatal disease--\u003cem\u003ewhat\u003c\/em\u003e it is, \u003cem\u003ehow\u003c\/em\u003e it manifests, and \u003cem\u003ewhy\u003c\/em\u003e it is so challenging to treat. In\u003cbr\u003ethis rousing narrative, Dr. Fung identifies the medical community's many\u003cbr\u003emissteps in cancer research--in particular, its focus on genetics, or what he\u003cbr\u003eterms the \"seed\" of cancer, at the expense of examining the \"soil,\" or the\u003cbr\u003econditions under which cancer flourishes. Dr. Fung--whose groundbreaking work in\u003cbr\u003ethe treatment of obesity and diabetes has won him international\u003cbr\u003eacclaim--suggests that the primary disease pathway of cancer is caused by the\u003cbr\u003edysregulation of insulin. In fact, obesity and type 2 diabetes significantly\u003cbr\u003eincrease an individual's risk of cancer.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn this accessible read, Dr. Fung\u003cbr\u003eprovides a new paradigm for dealing with cancer, with recommendations for what\u003cbr\u003ewe can do to create a hostile soil for this dangerous seed. One such strategy\u003cbr\u003eis intermittent fasting, which reduces blood glucose, lowering insulin levels.\u003cbr\u003eAnother, eliminating intake of insulin-stimulating foods, such as sugar and\u003cbr\u003erefined carbohydrates.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor hundreds of years, cancer has been portrayed\u003cbr\u003eas a foreign invader we've been powerless to stop.
