Lewis C. Cantley, an American Cell Biologist, biochemist and professor in the Department of System Biology and Medicine at Harvard Medical School. Also Director of Cancer Research at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, Boston, Massachusetts. Whom most recently, moved to Cornell Weil Medical College in N.Y.C. and just might be this country’s leading cancer researcher for whom when he talks others in the industry listen.
Amongst his research contributions: are the discovery and study of the enzyme Pl-3 kinase, which is known to be important for understanding cancer and diabetes mellitus. The role of Pl-3 kinase in anabolic signaling by insulin IGF – 1 and other growth factors. Which makes it a straight forward link between metabolism and cancer, especially in light of the discovery the PlK3CA gene encoding Pl-3 kinase is an oncogene.
In recent years, Cantley and his colleagues have made additional links between metabolism regulation and oncogenic transformation. With their discovery the MS isoform of pyruvate kinase is associated with cancer risk. This discovery provides a molecular basis for understanding the Warburg effect. As Cantley is now a major player in the resurgence of the importance of the Otto Warburg’s Theory in the process of oncogensis.
This growing evidence for the primary role for Pl-3 kinase in cancer, and it’s critical role in insulin signaling having also served to strengthen the significance of this fundamentally important discovery. While it also fortifies Warburg’s belief that cancer is of anabolic in nature and that it doesn’t need oxygen to survive while feeding off insulin (glucose) for it’s survival in the harshness of it’s host demise.
Therefore, sugar and salt in excessive amounts can act as an excitotoxin cause brain and other cells to become over excited and fire uncontrollably leading to cell death. These chemicals can also cross the placental barrier and harm the unborn child, with one of the worse being monosodium glutatmate (MSG). Excitotoxins can also cause spinal cord injury, strokes, traumatic brain injury, hearing loss and neurodegenerative disease of the central nervous system. With the best way to prevent this is by adding more fresh vegetables, fruit and fish in your diet. Matthew 13 – 3 4: 37
