The Groundbreaking Cancer Expert: (New Research) This Common Food Is Making Cancer Worse! Cancer Is Getting Worse Worldwide & It Might Not Be Genetic, It's Your Diet!

**Thomas Seyfried** (0:00)
Cancer is very preventable. When the medical establishment acknowledges what I know about this disorder, what's causing it, and what we're not doing to prevent it or treat it, it will be recognized as the greatest tragedy in the history of medicine.

Thomas Seyfried is a professor of biology, genetics, and biochemistry, who has dedicated the past 30 years gathering scientific evidence on what could be the true origin and prevention of cancer.

**Thomas Seyfried** (0:22)
Cancer is getting worse, and there's no major advance in reducing death rates, and I can speak to the reasons for that. All major cancer research centers think cancer is a genetic disease.

**Steven Bartlett** (0:32)
You believe otherwise.

**Thomas Seyfried** (0:33)
It's not whether you believe, it's what the data tell us. And the evidence is massive to support that cancer is a metabolic disorder. And the problem is we're doing everything we possibly can in our lifestyle to induce it. The scientific evidence is there. Like, for example, we know that cancer was extremely rare in African tribes that were living according to the traditional ways. But when modern lifestyle entered into their societies, cancer out of control. We even did a study on dogs. We know that wolves in the wild don't die from cancer. But cancer is the number one killer of domestic dogs. Why? It's because of our lifestyle issues. And a lot of us are doing things without the knowledge that it would put us at risk. But with metabolic therapy, you can use it as both a prevention and a treatment. And we're seeing more and more of terminal cancer patients outliving their predictability because of this. And let me tell you one thing and remember it. If you do metabolic therapy, you can actually reduce risk for cancer. You can take away the fear.

**Steven Bartlett** (1:25)
And when you say metabolic therapy, tell me what those things are.

**Thomas Seyfried** (1:27)
Number one.

**Steven Bartlett** (1:34)
Professor Seyfried, if someone walks up to you on the street, and they know nothing about science, and they know nothing about medicine, etc., and they asked you, what do you do and why do you do it? How would you respond?

**Thomas Seyfried** (1:45)
I'm a professor of biology at Boston College. So in that role, I spend a lot of my time working with undergraduates and graduate students in training them to be scientific literate in various aspects of biology. The research program that we have at the university is also focused on understanding how to manage cancer better, how it originates and how to prevent it.

**Steven Bartlett** (2:12)
How much of a problem is cancer globally? What are the sort of headline statistics on the macro view of cancer for someone that really doesn't know?

**Thomas Seyfried** (2:21)
Yeah, well, it's getting worse. I can't say. It's in the millions. I know precisely what's going on in this country because the American Cancer Society every year distributes the data on cancer. We have almost 2 million new cases diagnosed per year in the United States. And we have 1,700 people a day dying from cancer in the United States, which comes to about 70 people per hour in the United States. Now when I went to China, I looked at some numbers there, and it was 8,000 people a day are dying from cancer. Obviously, the population is so much larger. And I don't know what it is in the UK. I mean, we'd have to go to their cancer registries. But what we do know is that it's supposed to be a lot worse by 2050 than it is today. So there seems to be no reduction in deaths suffering for this disease. And I can speak to the reasons for that. But right now, I would say, it's a global epidemic of cancer. It's not getting better, it's getting worse. More people are dying from it. There's no major advance in reducing death rates. So it's a great tragedy. And when we understand what's causing it and what we're not doing to prevent it or treat it, it'll be recognized as the singular greatest tragedy in the history of medicine worldwide.
When they come to know what I know about this disorder and then they realize what we've been doing in a misdirected way, it will be recognized as the greatest tragedy in the history of medicine.

**Steven Bartlett** (4:05)
What types of cancer are people dying from? What is the most popular types of cancer for men and women?

**Thomas Seyfried** (4:10)
Well it's always been lung cancer pretty much for men and women. Lung cancer has always been the number one. But we have pancreatic breast cancer, colon cancer. These are all on the rise. Colon cancer is on the rise. Pancreatic cancer is on the rise in this country.
