Metabolism and growth are the same thing, and excessive growth is implicated in cancer, obesity, and type 2 diabetes.

“so you have to realize that metabolism and growth are exactly the same thing and it has even more implication for cancer which is a disease of too much growth so being obese for example it doesn't give you cancer but it certainly increases your risk of breast and colon cancer by a whole lot there are 13 cancers that are listed as obesity related and we know that there's a very strong relationship between type 2 diabetes even without the obesity but because they're hyperinsulinemic there's a very strong relationship between type 2 diabetes and breast cancer for example so to me those are all diseases of excessive growth”
