A Canadian professor believes deepening our understanding of how the metabolism works, combined with making healthy lifestyle changes, can lower cancer risks.
reveals that the risk of cancer may not only be tied to your family’s health history, but also connected to your metabolism.a study published by the University of AlbertaDr. David Wishart, a professor with the school, explains that deepening our understanding of how metabolism works and making better lifestyle choices can help lower the chances of cancer.
According to the study, the causes of cancer are broken down into three categories: A genetic disease, an environmental disease, and a metabolic disease. "It really doesn't make a difference where the cancer is — it’s something you’ve got to get rid of. It’s how it thrives or grows that matters," said Wishart. "It becomes a question of, ‘What’s the fuel that powers this engine?’"
"Cancer is genetic, but often the mutation itself isn’t enough," Wishart said in a statement. "As cancer develops and spreads in the body, it creates its own environment and introduces certain metabolites. It becomes a self-fueled disease. And that’s where cancer as a metabolic disorder becomes really important."U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention,
