Another great TED presentation. 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.

On another note:
The role of insulin and other related hormones may be key to understanding many of the modern diseases of civilization. It's fundamental to Kurt Harris' (www.paleonu.com)dietary recommendations. His basic hypotheses
are:
1. Various substances in the standard American diet (fructose, lectins, and
possibly omega-6 fatty acids) throw metabolisms out of whack (due to effects
on hormones).
2. Ketones are underrated as a source of energy for the human body, do not
have the same negative effects on hormone balances, and may in fact be the
body's preferred energy source.
3. Ketones are an important source of energy for the brain, and many brain
disorders/diseases (the link to epilepsy is already well established) may be
due to excessive reliance on glucose to the exclusion of ketones.
4. Cancer cells thrive on glucose but do not do well with ketones as an
energy source.
