Top Cancer Expert: "This is the WORST Food Feeding Cancer Cells!" | Prof. Thomas Seyfried

Prof. Thomas Seyfried is a professor of biology at Boston College and a leading researcher in cancer metabolism. He is best known for his book Cancer as a Metabolic Disease, where he argues that cancer is primarily caused by mitochondrial dysfunction rather than genetic mutations. Seyfried holds a Ph.D. in Genetics and Biochemistry and completed postdoctoral training in neurology at Yale University. His research focuses on metabolic therapies, including ketogenic diets, as potential treatments for cancer and neurological disorders. He has published over 150 scientific papers and is a prominent advocate for rethinking conventional cancer treatment approaches.In our conversation we discuss:(00:00) – Why cancer rates are doubling(06:54) – The real root cause of cancer and evolving treatments(13:07) – Why we believed cancer was mostly genetic(20:52) – The role of mitochondria in preventing cancer(25:54) – Did our ancestors get cancer?
