Cancer cells are “glucose hogs.” They thrive and multiple on highly
refined and processed foods filled with sugar, fat, and salt, which can promote
the growth of blood vessels (a process known as angiogenesis). More blood
vessels allow glucose to reach cancer cells
and tumors. Dr. William
Li did a YouTube TED talk and pointed out that some foods prevent or discourage
angiogenesis… Think of those foods as medicine.
Prevention? Aim
for a Mediterranean cuisine filled with fruits and veggies in as natural and unrefined a
state as possible; fat from avocados, olives, nuts, olive and coconut oil; some ancient
grains; and minimize red
meat, regular
dairy products, and processed, fried, and refined foods.
