Eat To Starve Cancer: Stopping Angiogenesis at the Root

William Li presents a new way to think about treating cancer and other diseases: anti-angiogenesis, preventing the growth of blood vessels that feed a tumor. The crucial first (and best) step: Eating cancer-fighting foods that cut off the supply lines and beat cancer at its own game.

While the presentation isn't mind blowing, it is most interesting that the study of angiogenesis reinforces the common theme between diet and disease. Simple changes to our eating habits, incorporating disease-fighting foods and limiting processed foods are the basic keys for using nutrition to strengthen the whole body.

Thanks for sharing. I truly believe that our health linked to what we put in our bodies.

I found this link very interesting--thank you! Upon searching "andiogenesis" at the Douglas County Library, I found a lecture series entitled "The Human Body How We Fail, How We Heal" by Anthony A. Goodman. It proves to be a good biology overview in addition to what the title promises. Thank you all for your stewardship of better health for everyone through your blog!

Thanks Sarah! I've added that lecture series to my "things to research" in Evernote.
