ABOUT THE EPISODE
Can the food on your plate lower your risk of cancer, or raise it? I sat down with Harvard-trained physician and scientist Dr William Li, author of the New York Times bestseller Eat to Beat Disease, to find out where food fits next to modern medicine.

William walks through the five health defence systems you're born with, why he says your cells make around 10,000 copying mistakes a day yet so few become cancer, and how tumours hijack blood vessel growth to feed themselves. We also get into why he'd swap soda for green tea or whole fruit, why your olive oil belongs in glass or a tin, the heavy metals found in some dark chocolate, and why sardines and mackerel beat tuna and swordfish on mercury.

You'll walk away with his easiest place to start: circle the healthy foods you already love and eat more of them.
