The Preventable Nature of Cancer
Cancer is largely preventable, contrary to the common perception that it is an unavoidable genetic disease. This perspective is supported by the significant evidence gathered by researchers who argue that cancer stems from metabolic dysfunction rather than genetic mutations. For instance, studies show that cancer rates were historically low among populations who lived traditional lifestyles, such as certain African tribes, but spiked with the adoption of modern lifestyles. This indicates that environmental and lifestyle factors play crucial roles in the incidence of cancer.
