1093. Metabolic Mysteries: Unraveling the Warburg Effect in Cancer

An Israeli study is saying that exercise, the real vitamin E, can reduce your risk of cancer by 72%. The study looked specifically at muscle building exercises. You may not know who Otto Warburg was, but he had a theory that cancer cells are different from normal cells. Normal cells thrive on protein and fat, whereas cancer cells feed on sugar. The premise of the Warburg Effect is that the more muscle you have, the more bins you have for storing glucose. Dr. Martin has often talked about having larger storage bins for glucose and that’s why muscle building exercises are the most important exercises you can do, especially when it comes to preventing cancer.
