Brief summary - Rosedale believes that cancer is not genetic but he also doesn't believe in the metabolic theory either. He explains why cancer is not caused by defective mitochondrial function. He believes cancer is caused by too much IGF-1, leptin, and mTOR due to dietary protein. He recommends not eating a high protein diet to prevent cancer. He defines high protein as more than 1 gram/kg (or .45 grams/lb) of estimated lean body weight per day. His recommendation for protein is 0.75 grams/kg of estimated lean body weight.
