McGill University is a famous Canadian school. Its alumni and faculty have 12 Nobel Prize winners, and current President Duruddor is also its alumni. It has a unit called Office for Science and Society (Science and Society, written into OSS), which provides scientific information related to society, especially in medicine. It publishes a weekly called McGill OSS Weekly Digest every Saturday, and there are usually 4 articles in it. There was an article in the weekly published yesterday that titled Can you eat to beat disease? (Can you eat to beat disease?)
As soon as I saw this title, I knew that this article must be related to my 2017-6-7 issue that can cause cancer? , related.
Can eating eat to get cancer? The beginning of this article is: "The day before yesterday (2017-6-4) I saw an email at night: "The medical community is about to start a change! The latest treatment for tumors. Methods ~ It's not about chewing, it's about changing diet. Improve angiogenesis video … Diet is chewing three times a day …'. I watched this video and laughed all night. Why are so many people like this... Naive... (Injustice?). In fact, the video is The original version is one of the TED talk series, recorded in February 2010 and online in May. In other words, it was already 7 years ago. Also, it will be nearly 10,000 clicks. So, have you seen the medical world change? Have you heard that "changing diet" really becomes "the latest tumor treatment"? Just think about it with your butt. If this is simple, why has it been more than seven years and people still hear about cancer? ” (Now, in more than 13 years, have you heard that "changing diet" really becomes the "latest tumor treatment"?)
Can you eat to beat disease? There are eight paragraphs in this article, and I translate five of them as follows:
Almost all publications that explore the role of diet in disease will quote Hippocrates’ famous motto “Let food be your medicine, and make medicine be your food.” In fact, this ancient Greek doctor did not have such records, although it is clear from the work of “Hippocrates’ writer” that the Greeks really believe that disease is related to food. "Hippocrates' writer" is the correct language, because historians unanimously believe that Hippocrates' works are the editorial of his own works and the works of some of his followers.It is not surprising that Greek doctors connect food with disease, because clearly there is no life without food. However, no matter what kind of dry diet precautions are recommended, they are based on any evidence, but on the belief that the human body is composed of four fluids, namely blood, phlegm, yellow juice and black juice. Disease is caused by imbalance in these fluids and needs to be treated with food that can restore balance. For example, pain in the correlation is described as contaminated and solidified by sputum and juice. The treatment was large water. As far as science is concerned, there is no meaning, but there is no doubt that some patients have been solved by the power of consolation agents.
Many people asked me to comment on a book by William Li, which is very intriguing, "Eat to Beat Disease". My first time I met Dr. Lee was working on the work of Dr. Judah Folkman, a publicly recognized antiangiogenesis research. "Angiogenesis" is an art phrase used to describe angiogenesis, so "antiangiogenesis" is a barrier to angiogenesis. Tumors require nutrients to grow, and they produce blood vessels to supply these substances. So, from a theoretical point of view, any factor with anti-angiogenic effects can help the tumor to reduce the nutrition. Dr. Lee was trained under Folkman's guidance and then established the "Anti-angiogenic Association" that promotes research aimed at limiting tumor growth. (Please see Note 1)
In 2019, Dr. Li entered the field of nutrition with his book "Eating to Fight Disease" (Please see Note 2). It has always been a blast book, and his TED talk on the same topic has been watched by millions of people. He is undoubtedly a “influencer; (Influencer). The problem is the extent to which a person can benefit from his influence. Dr. Lee is far from what some people say about master of woo, but some of his conclusions about diet and disease should be marked with a star (question).
I think Dr. Li is so proud of the card "Eat to Fight Disease", but his views on anti-angiogenesis and nutrition are correct. Although his view on using specific foods to treat various diseases is to promote the detection range, his dietary advice in preventing diseases is to keep his feet stable. Due to the pretty bad situation of general Western diet, most people will benefit from paying attention to Dr. Lee's nutritional advice. "Eating to Fight Disease" is worth reading, but "Eating to Fight Disease" will be a more realistic title. (Please see Note 3)
Note 1: The "Anti-angiogenic Association" is an error because there is no such organization. "The association promotes research aimed at limiting tumor growth" is also a mistake, because the Angiogenic Foundation, founded by Dr. William Li, does not engage in any scientific research.. Can I get cancer when I eat? This article says: "The speaker is William Li. He is the founder, executive and chairman of the Angiogenesis Foundation. This foundation advocates the use of so-called "antiangiogenic" diets to treat cancer, obesity, and other diseases. 』
Note 2: Although "Eating to Fight Disease" was published in 2019, Dr. William Li did not enter the field of nutrition in 2019. Can I get cancer when I eat? This article says that as early as 2010, Dr. William Li was speaking on TED Can we eat to starve cancer? (Can we eat to starve cancer by eating it?).
Note 3: "Eating to Fight Disease" is pure and eye-catching gimmick. If you want to fight or prevent disease, you still have to go back to "balanced diet and good exercise".
