Renowned Harvard-trained medical doctor, Dr. William Lee, presents a profound idea: "what we eat is really our chemotherapy three times a day." As co-founder of the Angiogenesis Foundation, his revolutionary views have shaped the development of over 40 FDA-approved therapeutics and devices for chronic diseases.

Dr. Lee emphasizes that food is one of the most critical interventions for health. His best-selling books, including "Eat to Beat Disease" and "Eat to Beat Diet," elaborate on how different foods act medicinally to heal and enhance our bodies daily, promoting longevity and vitality.

Diet accounts for a substantial percentage of environmentally induced cancers. A startling revelation from Dr. Lee is that microscopic cancers are almost ubiquitous in our bodies by age 70. Food, however, offers an effective line of defense against the progression of these silent threats.

• Tomatoes: Rich in lycopene, this fruit reduces prostate cancer risk significantly and promotes fat burning through brown fat activation. Cooking tomatoes enhances lycopene absorption, especially when using olive oil from specific varieties rich in cancer-fighting polyphenols.
• Pears: Packed with dietary fiber and chlorogenic acid, pears boost metabolism, assist in fat reduction, and potentially improve medical treatments.
• Kiwis: These fruits bolster gut microbiota diversity, repair DNA damage, and support immunity by promoting beneficial bacteria like bifidobacteria and lactobacillus.
• Berries: Rich in anthocyanins, berries aid immune defenses and metabolism without the adverse sugar spikes often associated with fruits.
• Pomegranate Juice: The eloquent composition of pomegranate includes bioactives that champion gut health and defensive microbes while curbing harmful pathways linked to cancer growth.

Dr. Lee advocates for a plant-based diet, minimizing red meat and processed foods, emphasizing diet diversity as a cornerstone for robust health. Contrary to mainstream beliefs, no single 'superfood' exists; it is the array of consumed foods that enhance health.

"Eat fresh Whole Foods mostly plant-based and cut down or cut off red meat and ultra-processed foods."
