About this listen

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 ground-breaking 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.

Truly awesome overview of this important topic

In this sweeping review, Jason Fung treats the reader to an in depth exploration of three paradigms of cancer. In each case, he characterises the paradigm, its origins, its evolution and its contribution to current practice. The content is conceptually rewarding, diving headlong into many proverbial rabbit holes and, by virtue of his careful and accessible explanations, helps the reader emerge triumphant with the rabbit.

The one area that was dealt with more lightly than I had hoped for was the opportunity for using diet and nutrition as a tool for limiting cancer risk. Perhaps this is being kept in hand for a future book. If so, I will be first in line to load it onto my phone.

Thankyou Jason for the huge amount of work that you have invested in making these insights available to interested lay readers

It’s written as to ‘whiten med mafia’

I thought it will be as good as his Obesity Code but not at all, not sure which book Dr Fung has written first, if this one came second he must have been sponsored or paid for whitening all this dirty medical corporation . In the narration you wait for it, when he says ‘they knew very well, all those charities and researchers like Cancer Research who were only promising promising the cure , wasting public money or rather sharing this collected fortune among them and doing nothing - cause nothing could be done apart from telling people the truth: HEALTHY NATURAL ORGANIC DIET & FASTING - that’s all must be said - but in this book he mentioned this once between the lines but overall the book is describing how medical research and medicine corporation were looking so hard for a cure. It’s all bullshit and huge multibillion business . Very poor book, and I lost trust in this doc for good.
