The Cancer Code: A Revolutionary New Understanding of a Medical Mystery by Dr Jason Fung

The Cancer Code: A Revolutionary New Understanding of a Medical Mystery by Dr Jason Fung is a compelling paperback for readers curious about the latest shifts in cancer research. Ideal for parents, teachers, health professionals, and anyone seeking a clear, science-backed explanation of why cancer develops and how lifestyle factors influence risk, this paperback edition presents a fresh, evidence-driven perspective that challenges conventional thinking.

In this engaging book collection entry, bestselling-author-level clarity meets clinical experience. Dr Jason Fung — a Canadian nephrologist known for his pioneering work on obesity, type 2 diabetes and intermittent fasting — lays out a readable, persuasive case that reframes cancer not just as a genetic problem but as a disease deeply tied to metabolic health. Trusted by patients and referenced by clinicians, Dr Fung’s work has earned international attention for offering practical pathways toward prevention and improved outcomes.

What this book covers

• The central argument: Cancer is influenced less by isolated genetic “seeds” and more by the “soil” — the body’s metabolic environment. Dr Fung argues that insulin dysregulation plays a central role in cancer development.
• Evidence and critique: The book examines where traditional research has gone wrong, particularly the overemphasis on genetics at the expense of metabolic and lifestyle factors.
• Link to common conditions: Clear connections are drawn between obesity, type 2 diabetes and heightened cancer risk, with explanations rooted in insulin resistance and metabolic dysfunction.
• Practical implications: Beyond theory, readers gain insight into prevention strategies and why metabolic health should factor into public health priorities and clinical care.
