Stand Up To Cancer

In our SU2C article, Foods That Fight Cancer, Dr. William Li introduced his research on Antiangiogenic foods (such as green tea, strawberries and olive oil), and their relationship to fighting cancer.

Li is the president and medical director of the Angiogenesis Foundation and is committed to finding new ways to treat cancer and other diseases. He describes anti-angiogenesis, preventing the growth of blood vessels that feed a tumor, as a process that begins with eating cancer-fighting foods. With this simple action, Li says that we can virtually starve cancer cells, particularly in their microscopic phases (which often go undetected).
