Anti-androgenic TED talk

     Every day we are taught that if we cut out certain foods from are diet we would be less likely to get cancer. However, William Li had an idea what could we add to our diet to prevent cancer.
   
      In the ted talk we watched in class told use what we can add to help us prevent cancerous tumors from creating a blood supply and growing to harmful sizes. Blood vessels are what can turn a harmless tumor into a cancerous fatal tumor. The chemical that stimulates blood vessel growth is called androgenic. With anti-androgenic foods we could stop those unnecessary blood vessels from forming.
    
       I found this extremely interesting and helpful. I'm not very healthy and i feel like there is an increased chance of me getting cancer. My grandma had cancer and my great grandma got breast cancer. If i can eat the right food I could prevent cancer.
