An Integrative Approach to Cancer Prevention & Treatment: Dr. Donald Abrams

What is the link between weight and cancer? What should we eat
and not eat to prevent cancer risk? What do we need to know about
cannabis? What about alcohol consumption?

Dr. Donald Abrams, Professor Emeritus of Medicine at UCSF, is an
integrative oncologist with 39 years of experience. He works with
people living with and beyond cancer and has a focus on
nutrition, physical exercise, stress reduction, and lifestyle
changes. 


Dr. Abrams joins us to discuss the link between obesity and
cancer, how sugar impacts cancer, the health risks of dairy and
meat, what to know about alcohol consumption and cannabis, what
to eat to reduce the risk of cancer, and more. 


“The number one cause of both morbidity and mortality are dietary
issues which have surpassed high blood pressure and smoking and
does not include high body mass index or obesity. What we eat is
really critical.” 


“Somewhere between 10-40% of all cancer is related to overweight
or obesity and, since ⅔ of the American public is now overweight
or obese, it’s a big problem.” 


“We now believe that inflammation is a leading cause of many of
the degenerative diseases of aging: dementia, heart disease, and
cancer, particularly.” 


“Cancer needs sugar to grow.” 


“We believe that 6% of all cancer is now related to alcohol
consumption and the leading cause of death from alcohol in people
over the age of 50 is now cancer.” 


“I believe the diet should be organic, plant-based, antioxidant
rich, anti-inflammatory, real, and whole foods.” 


“If we’re going to let food be our medicine and medicine be our
food, organic is more potent than conventional.”
