Eating right to prevent and cure diseases

I saw this very interesting TED talk by Dr. William Li: Can we eat to starve cancer?



The idea is that a lot of diseases, from cancer to obesity, are related to the growth of blood vessels or angiogenesis. And in the end, Dr. Li presents a strong case for changing our diets to control angiogenesis and, hence, control or prevent diseases like cancer and obesity.
