How are cancer, obesity, and diabetes linked? How do diet and lifestyle trump genetic factors in preventing cancer?

Actress Angelina Jolie famously had both of her breasts removed in 2013 after finding that she carried the BRCA1 (breast cancer gene 1) mutation, which signals higher risk of breast cancer.

“But that’s a very crude way of treating the problem,” says Dr. Jason Fung, author of “The Cancer Code,” about the step taken by many women carrying BRCA1 or BRCA2 mutations.

Physician and nephrologist (kidney health specialist) Dr. Fung is a leading voice on dietary means to counter chronic disease, including obesity, type 2 diabetes, and cancer.

“You haven’t targeted the [BRCA] gene ... [instead] you’ve gone back to the ... growth paradigm and simply cut off the entire tissue,” he says.

Dr. Fung joins Vital Signs with Brendon Fallon to present a new lens to see cancer—beyond the “growth paradigm,”which views cancer as a disease of excessive growth, and the “genetic paradigm,” which focuses on cancer’s genetic mutations.

The new paradigm highlights environmental factors, including what we eat, over genetic factors in preventing and treating cancer. The obesity link to 13 different types of cancer bears testament to this.

“And of course, obesity ... doesn’t change your genes,” says Dr. Fung.

“What it does is it provides that fertile soil for cancer to grow.”

We reveal everyday factors that feed cancer and probe whether environment trumps genetics on the cancer risk front for “Cancer Code PART 2” on Vital Signs.
