{"product_id":"dr-fung-jason-the-cancer-code-9780062894007","title":"The Cancer Code","description":"Author of the international\n\u003cbr\u003e\nbestsellers The Diabetes Code and The Obesity Code Dr.\n\u003cbr\u003e\nJason Fung returns with an eye-opening biography of cancer in which he offers a\n\u003cbr\u003e\nradical new paradigm for understanding cancer—and\n\u003cbr\u003e\nissues a call to action for reducing risk moving forward.\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nOur understanding of cancer is slowly undergoing a revolution, allowing for the\n\u003cbr\u003e\ndevelopment of more effective treatments. For the first time ever, the death\n\u003cbr\u003e\nrate from cancer is showing a steady decline . . . but the “War on Cancer” has\n\u003cbr\u003e\nhardly been won. In The Cancer Code, Dr.\n\u003cbr\u003e\nJason Fung offers a revolutionary new understanding of this invasive, often\n\u003cbr\u003e\nfatal disease—what it is, how it manifests, and why it is so challenging to treat. In\n\u003cbr\u003e\nthis rousing narrative, Dr. Fung identifies the medical community’s many\n\u003cbr\u003e\nmissteps in cancer research—in particular, its focus on genetics, or what he\n\u003cbr\u003e\nterms the “seed” of cancer, at the expense of examining the “soil,” or the\n\u003cbr\u003e\nconditions under which cancer flourishes. Dr. Fung—whose groundbreaking work in\n\u003cbr\u003e\nthe treatment of obesity and diabetes has won him international\n\u003cbr\u003e\nacclaim—suggests that the primary disease pathway of cancer is caused by the\n\u003cbr\u003e\ndysregulation of insulin. In fact, obesity and type 2 diabetes significantly\n\u003cbr\u003e\nincrease an individual’s risk of cancer. In this accessible read, Dr. Fung\n\u003cbr\u003e\nprovides a new paradigm for dealing with cancer, with recommendations for what\n\u003cbr\u003e\nwe can do to create a hostile soil for this dangerous seed. One such strategy\n\u003cbr\u003e\nis intermittent fasting, which reduces blood glucose, lowering insulin levels.\n\u003cbr\u003e\nAnother, eliminating intake of insulin-stimulating foods, such as sugar and\n\u003cbr\u003e\nrefined carbohydrates.\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nFor hundreds of years, cancer has been portrayed\n\u003cbr\u003e\nas a foreign invader we’ve been powerless to stop. By reshaping our view of\n\u003cbr\u003e\ncancer as an internal uprising of our own healthy cells, we can begin to take\n\u003cbr\u003e\nback control. The seed of cancer may exist in all of us, but the power to\n\u003cbr\u003e\nchange the soil is in our hands. ","brand":"HarperCollins","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53643018633558,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0925\/5829\/5382\/files\/product_image_9780062894007_1.jpg?v=1778702315","url":"https:\/\/www.momoxbooks.com\/products\/dr-fung-jason-the-cancer-code-9780062894007","provider":"momoxbooks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
