Food as Medicine Dr. William Li Can We Eat to Starve Cancer?

from The Visible Voices · host Resa E Lewiss

First released as audio only. Re-edited and now available in video and audio. In this episode, I sit down with Dr. William Li — internal medicine physician, vascular biologist, and founder of the Angiogenesis Foundation — to talk about something we were never really taught in medical school: how specific foods work at a molecular level to prevent and even fight disease. We get into the science behind everyday foods like black coffee, soy, eggs, and oats — cutting through the myths and the fear-based messaging that has, frankly, done a lot of harm. Will walks us through why soy does not cause breast cancer (and may actually protect against it), why egg quality matters more than cholesterol fear, and what his lab's recent research on oats and wound healing reveals about the untapped potential of whole foods. 00:00 Introduction to Dr. William Li and Angiogenesis 01:06 The Role of Food in Health and Disease 02:36 Debunking Myths: Soy and Breast Cancer 07:30 The Importance of Nutrition Education in Medicine 09:58 The Truth About Eggs and Their Health Benefits 13:21 Recent Discoveries: Oats and Their Bioactive Properties 15:29 Innovative Wound Healing with Avananthramide 17:10 The Role of Diet in Cancer Treatment 17:56 Communicating Science to the Public 21:53 Empowering Patients Through Knowledge 24:00 Exploring Everyday Remedies: Coffee and Wound Healing 25:45 OuttroVVP.mp3 26:22 NEWCHAPTER Wish to help the show?
