Could Sleeping More While Fasting Overnight Prevent You From Developing Breast Cancer?

Apr 20, 2015

Taking a systems biological approach to the study of cancers, many researchers have come to find that there is an intimate intermingling between cancerous tumors and the metabolic rate at which your body processes sugars.
