1044. Cancer: Slower than Molasses

If you've followed Dr. Martin for any period of time, you've probably heard him use the example of a ballpoint pen to talk about cancer. For a tumor to get the size of the tip of a ballpoint pen it takes 5 years… and it turns out that Princeton agrees! A new study out of Princeton University is saying that the metabolizing of cancer is, "as slow as molasses." It never happens overnight and by the time you can detect it, it's already been growing. The second part of the study is saying that cancer needs fuel. Princeton agrees that a tumor cannot survive when it's fed nutrients, vitamins, and amino acids. It needs glucose to grow, and when you feed your body the right fuel, you're not feeding cancer. Join Dr. Martin as he unpacks this study that validates what he's been saying for 50 years!
