Excellent article: "The Manchurian Cell – The Relationship Between Fat and Cancer and Why Muscle Matters".

Link on fat and cancer from Dr. Champ's most recent newsletter. Very interesting and informative in terms of what's happening and how to avoid it in favor of better health.
An excerpt:

What an excellent article! Decades of DNA research hasn't gotten us anywhere. The mutation theory has serious holes in it.

Was it always an assumption that since we now have a hammer, everything is a nail?

Yes, I believe so. It's just easier that way, and today more than ever, people seem to want everything to be easy. I choose to believe that embracing life's challenges makes fulfillment possible. I'm going to be wrong in some cases, but overall I'm happier.

I'm with you, Bob. Things are only easy once we've learned them.

Reminds me of the equation learned in livestock breeding.


g + e= p

Genotype + environment = phenotype

E far outweighs the impact of genotype to create the physical outcome aka phenotype. Hard to find a gene over 40%. Meaning environmental impact is over 60%. Food and toxins and housing are just two of the nearly endless "environmental" factors .

I too was sucked into the genetic theory of cancer as it was the only option the oncologists offered at the time. A wrong headed theory.

After watching my mother with melanoma, 2x breast cancer and now colon cancer.... Her cancers appeared later in life than her mother by 20 years. Why later? Why at all? Why can't body eliminate these wayward cells early on---why do these cells overwhelm our built in protective systems...?



Is the answer simply a decrease in exercise like less gardening, less laundry, more injuries that kept her off her feet...

Looking for reading this article in detail.

I like the saying:

Genetics loads the gun, environment pulls the trigger.

But I think in some cases, genetics unloads the gun. Which is why certain genetic groups can be so long lived despite things that kill the rest of us.

About the article, we're supposed to believe (from a bodybuilding website) that the reason for this paradox is because everyone who lived longer is because they're carrying way more muscle than regular fat people? That's quite the leap of faith and sounds like wishful thinking.
