Have you ever worried about getting cancer? Studies have shown that we in fact can eat to starve cancer. In class we recently watched a ted talk about cancer cells and the different foods that work to prevent cancer.
A fascinating fact is that we all have small spots of cancer all over our bodies. This was discovered through tests done on bodies from various car crashes. Every body showed signs of cancer, even if they were minimal. Studies have shown that the right types of food reduce these groups of damaged cells and works towards preventing cancer from growing into a risk to your life. We just just started a project in biology where we have a choice to either cook an anti-angiogenic recipe and cell it, or create something funny for a child with cancer. Dr. William Li is a professional in anti-angiogenic foods and has conducted many studies on various foods to see if eating them will decrease the cancerous spots on our bodies.
I found this particularly fascinating because my family has always jokingly threatened me about skin cancer in the past. it is comforting to know there is a way out along with the various other things I have done to prevent cancer. People are in less danger of cancer as long as they know about these foods and eat them, and so we are one step closer to a permanent cure.
