I just finished "The Cancer Code" by Jason Fung (@drjasonfung) easily the best book I've read this year.

Highly recommend.

Telomeres, Telomere cap, Hayflick limit

Atomic bomb survivor cancer rates increased only modestly, with "life expectancy shortened by months, not years".

Chronic exposure is what matters.

"Indigenous societies such as the Native Americans at the beginning of the 20th century were largely considered immune to cancer... Cancer rates of the native Ojibwa population rose sharply in the 1980s, coinciding with increasing western influence on their lifestyle"

Cancer non-existence in Inuit... Refined grains & sugars...

Knowing that smoking gives you cancer is most important thing we know about cancer.

Requiring *evidence* isn't scientific, peer review is the search for consensus, medicine is unfortunately not physics.

What causes cancers are the bad things you do everyday, not typically the one off events. Audit anything unnatural you do daily (drinks, vitamins, shampoos, soaps, deodorants, make-up, food, household cleaning products, etc).

They *all* give you cancer.

Careful with your vitamins some give you cancer. I told you 👆

"Our steady progress against many cancers is being significantly impeded by the obesity epidemic"

$KO $MCD = Cancer Stocks just like $MO

Obviously the inverse is helpful = fast

Diabetes, Insulin & Cancer

Iatrogenics in breast cancer screening.

Should you get a mammagram?

Probably not...

"Primum non nocere, which means "First do no harm". The perspective offered by today's cancer paradigm explains why many national agencies are beginning to scale back on the amount of screening they recommend"

I've ordered Jason's other two books "The Obesity Code" and "The Diabetes Code" I hope they are as good as this one. At a minimum I know they are written be a very clear thinker and a great writer!
