Cancer: What Feeds It: The Metabolic Guide to Lowering Your Risk — and to Living With a Diagnosis (en Inglés)
Reseña del libro "Cancer: What Feeds It: The Metabolic Guide to Lowering Your Risk — and to Living With a Diagnosis (en Inglés)"
Cancer is not an event. It is a process — and the process is slower than almost anyone imagines. A tumour a doctor calls “early” has already done three quarters of its growing. Smoking takes forty years to become lung cancer. A bowel polyp sits for decades. That is not bad news. It is a window — and this book is about what to do with it. Ten years in nutrition counselling, and the author had never heard of the research in these pages: a Boston College professor who has spent most of a fifty-year career arguing that cancer is, at its root, a disease of damaged metabolism — and why so few doctors have heard of it either. This book explains that theory in plain words, says honestly where it is disputed, and then turns to the evidence nobody disputes: blood sugar, insulin, body fat, food, alcohol — ranked by how sure anybody can be. Inside: What a cancer cell actually runs on — and why “sugar feeds cancer” is only half true The four blood tests worth asking for, and the one not worth having Seven rules, no forbidden foods, and a week that works on a Tuesday Gaps between meals and muscle: what the trials really show Who should not do any of this — a chapter that is short, and not to be skipped Every claim in the book, graded: 113 of them, in four columns, with the source for every number Written for two readers: the healthy adult who wants to lower their risk, and the person living with a diagnosis who wants better questions for the people treating them. No treatment plan. No promises. More than two hundred sources — and the honest word about each one. Set in generous 13-point type with wide line spacing, on cream paper — written for people who would rather not squint.
