Angiogenesis

xoxoxoBruce • Jul 20, 2010 1:26 am
In this TED Talk, William Li talks about how blood vessels grow — and how eating different foods affects cancer growth. Li explains how cancer starts without a blood supply, and how blood vessel growth provides cancers with nutrition, causing them to grow and get out of control. Li suggests that if you can control new blood vessel growth, tumors can’t grow.
Discussed: angiogenesis, the nature of cancer, “harmless cancers,” anti-angiogenic therapy, Avastin (an anti-angiogenic drug), extending cancer survival in dogs and other animals, anti-angiogenic foods, Resveratrol, tea and soy and other foods, and how drugs and foods can work together in fighting cancer.


It's 20 minutes well spent, and you can turn on subtitles too.

Wow! Bruce that was excellent. Well worth the 20 minutes, indeed. I knew I loved pasta with tomato sauce for a reason.

I have written down the foods they mentioned and will try to incorporate more of them into my diet.

I also like the side benefit that if you are overweight, these foods can be helpful for that, as well.

The video made a lot of sense to me despite the fact that I majored in biology and normally tend to be skeptical of this stuff.

I keep reading the thread title as amniocentesis, personally.

Facinating. About half of these foods are listed on my current diet (which is very restrictive... it actually includes all the fruit I am able to eat)

I haven't watch the video just yet although, skeptical cat is skeptical.

Skeptical cat should always be skeptical, before viewing the evidence. :yesnod:
