Abstract: Cancer has been present in species for over 240 million years. Most modern-day species get cancer. Perhaps there are benefits to cancer that your immune system has identified that we have overlooked. If cancer had no benefit, wouldn’t it have been deselected from the genome by now? In our industrial society where calories are abundant cancers are more closely linked to metabolic syndrome and chronic inflammation. Perhaps cancer is an ancient “Pragmatic Switch to Combat Metabolic Syndrome†? Cancer might exist to convert large amounts of glucose to lactate and protect the organs from excess glucose while limiting exposure to toxic oxygen- Warburg Effect.
