Welcome to the introduction and giveaway of a great new book: Crave - The Hidden Biology of Addiction and Cancer. As someone with numerous chronic illnesses, I find that it will be a good read. It's so easy to become addicted to my screens and sugar. I hope to learn more about myself and how this book could increase my awareness.

Raphael E. Cuomo Ph.D. is a professor and scientist at the University of California, San Diego School of Medicine whose research spans cancer prevention and addiction. He translates cutting-edge biomedical research into clear, practical insights about how behavior and biology shape long-term health.

His new book, Crave, sheds light on important and often-overlooked daily behaviors with scientific evidence pointing to increased risk for the development of cancer.

Crave reveals how everyday habits, from sugar and screens to overwork and alcohol, leave measurable biological traces that increase cancer risk. It re-frames addiction as a central, modifiable factor in chronic disease, drawing on cutting-edge research in neuroscience, immunology, and public health.
