Dr. William Li: 5 Must-Eat Foods to Fight Cancer

If you’ve ever been confused by the amount of nutrition information (and misinformation) online, you’re not alone.
Dr. William Li, the New York Times bestselling author of Eat To Beat Disease and Eat To Beat Your Diet, returns to Live Well Be Well to discuss how we can truly use food as medicine.
With science-backed data about what foods we should be consuming - and importantly, why - Dr. Li shares the key insights and learnings from his career as a Physician and Scientist.
From why you need to know what angiogenesis is and why we should be consuming natural sugars, to the fact that ‘antinutrients’ do not exist (despite what social media may say), this episode will have you saying no to supposed quick-fix solutions and saying yes to the power of food.

    Sorry but this is cancer promoting, absolutely no nutritional facts or science here whatsoever, proteins shut down cancer cells FACT, carbohydrate and oxalate makes the cancer thrive FACT, actual observations by actual scientists, this video is nothing but opinion and says I think before every answer, the carnivore community and scientists are the only group who talk about facts and actual science and actual nutrition, if you want health benefits stay away from people who say I think and knows nothing about physiology of the human body and how nutrtion affects that, the ONLY group of people reversing chronic disease metabolic disease and all kinds of health conditions are carnivores, period.

    I'd avoid this list like the plague, your glucose level is at about 5g at any time, eating an apple spikes that by 10g creating isulluin resistance instantly, tea blocks the absorption of nutrients, replacing animal fats with vegetable fats is one of the worst things we did as a species, happened in the 60s and heart disease has gone up 10 fold, and fruit is just sugar which IS the cause of atherosclerosis, wdym as whole foods? Sugar is bad full stop wether it comes from an apple or a bottle of coca cola, not one of these foods is proven with studies anywhere in the literature to prevent cancer, not one, cancer needs glucose to survive, so don't eat sugar, including fruit.

I wonder what happened to our Educational system that young people can't get the true meaning of the subject at hand. Does anyone use a dictionary anymore instead of making up words n meanings. Youre the best listener.and can sift what even your host want to say n know. Explaining the meanings. Thanks for your patience and setting the record straight. Thanks again!

(I did have to listen with earphones rather than watch as I find the words moving across the screen to be extremely irritating and distracting.) I love Dr Li and have bought his books for myself and as gifts. I pretty much watch everything with him. This interview was special because you asked different questions and I heard things I had not in other interviews. Really appreciate that. I also liked Dr Li's origin stories. It really does help one remember why. Look forward to watching (or listening to) other episodes on your channel.

    I totally agree... I have a friend who was prescribed Mounjaro because of obesity & diabetes ( which has helped her stop insulin) & there is a shortage .But she said the sad thing is the insulin is cheaper than Mounjaro is . And nausea is a Huge side effect. I think those drugs should never be short for those who truly need it, as opposed to ones who want to use it for vanity because they can afford it.

    I’ve bought Dr.Li’s books and watched many of his guest appearances on podcasts… but Dr. Li, one thing you are getting wrong is that being overweight has physical pain… and our relationship with food is not like your relationship with food… this idea of you want people to enjoy their food, and the company they sit down and eat with or paying for a meal… that sounds lovely, but that’s not going to motivate those with overweight issues… that’s a luxury you get to enjoy.

I’ve heard Dr. Li on different occasions, but frankly for him to dismiss “anti-nutrients” like Big Pharma (his origin story) dismisses alternative treatments, makes me not want to lose anymore of my short lifespan on his…opinions. 😒 And Dr. Li, if you honestly don’t know who the heck Dave Asprey is, you’re not qualified to criticize him or his breadth of knowledge! There are plenty of “medical experts” who never venture past the limits of Big Pharma education, to include nutritional knowledge. All they know is how to prescribe drugs! Pffft! Screw your drugs, like Ozempic. I know first hand the negative effects of anti-nutrients, like oxalates. My face was swollen and rashes covered my skin because I ate tons of raw spinach in smoothies, thinking I was eating healthy. Now I know to blanch the spinach and other oxalate-rich foods, then eat them. Your opinions sound like those from a drug company plant/spy who poses as someone who cares.
