Dr. William Li: 5 Must-Eat Foods to Fight Cancer

If you’ve ever been confused by the amount of nutrition information (and misinformation) online, you’re not alone.

Dr. William Li, the New York Times bestselling author of Eat To Beat Disease and Eat To Beat Your Diet, returns to Live Well Be Well to discuss how we can truly use food as medicine.

With science-backed data about what foods we should be consuming - and importantly, why - Dr. Li shares the key insights and learnings from his career as a Physician and Scientist.

From why you need to know what angiogenesis is and why we should be consuming natural sugars, to the fact that ‘antinutrients’ do not exist (despite what social media may say), this episode will have you saying no to supposed quick-fix solutions and saying yes to the power of food.

Great interview! I've just started following Dr. Li and have learned a lot from his wisdom and expertise. He is one of the few with integrity. Many are chasing the money only.

I know you are correct because I garden. If the plants get better nutrients they survive better than the ones that dont! So I have known nutrition is the key but really didnt know how to get enough knowledge to be comfortable with decisions on best choices to grow since I cannot grow everything. There is something terribly wrong with the quality of our food so I try to grow some to supplement with better foods because I know better what is used to grow my food. It will be so good to know what selections of food to grow. I have blackberries, blueberries, peaches, plums and lemons growing. Adding to my herb garden and it would be so nice to know the top ten or more herbs to grown in order of health. Then maybe the top 20 vegetables to grow maybe by zone?? Hoping a horticulture specialist might team up with you for this information. Plants can be grown in windows to snip, in a little greenhouse, in pots near the home entrance, raised beds etc. Organic farmers market is a choice for some too. There are sources to purchase organic herbs/plants to help get started for those interested in doing so. Children are learning in schools now to garden. To me, the secret of growing plants is to learn where they like to grow, water amounts and nutrients to use for them.

Time stamped around 35:37, host does not have sound. At any rate, I have Dr. Li’s book. Definitely a reliable, balanced source who has experience in both drug development and food research. Thank you for your work and much valued information.

It's Oct 7/24. 5:55 am. I learned so much. I've been watching Dr. Li and learning the why I should be eating whole foods. Thank you.❤

[kathleenwhaley]

Dr Li we're fortunate to have your dialog on all subjects matter. I've watched most of your utube podcast. I wonder what happened to our Educational system that young people can't get the true meaning of the subject at hand. Does anyone use a dictionary anymore instead of making up words n meanings.
Youre the best listener.and can sift what even your host want to say n know. Explaining the meanings. Thanks for your patience and setting the record straight. Thanks again!

[stellabrophy]

Privileged to have listened to this podcast!! Thank you very much!

[pramujisinggihriyanto]

Thanks for genius lecture on cancer-preventing plant-based foods:
1) tomato, containing licopene. Cook them with olive oil increase licopene 3x
2) green tea
3) soy with its derivatives (tofu, tempe, natto)
4) blueberry
5) apples etc.

Sugar in frout is healthy if you take it as whole foods...

Super interesting conversation, nice to find some clarity around these urban health myths, learnt a lot!

I'm not waiting for the research before continuing my IF. People should not give this PR release on IF any attention until it is peer reviewed. I adopted IF and a low carb diet and turned around Type 2 Diabetes without any form of medication. At this stage that's all the evidence I need.
