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.. Product details.
