Last month the most astounding research I've ever come across on cold exposure appeared in Nature, the world's most prestigious scientific journal. The study showed how regular cold exposure can slow the growth of cancerous tumors by activating brown fat (BAT) which denies the tumors the glucose that then need to sustain their uncontrolled growth. The article, titled "Brown Fat mediated tumor suppression by cold-altered global metabolism" is the first real peer-reviewed study making the link that the type of cold exposure that I wrote about in What Doesn't Kill Us and The Wedge had a significant anti-cancer effect. Indeed, the results were so promising that the researchers said that cold exposure "will provide a general approach for the effective treatment of various cancers." On the page, that sentence might not look like much, but it basically means that cold exposure could become a staple of any anti-cancer treatment as well as for anyone looking to prevent themselves from getting it.
