A List of Anti-angiogenic Foods

After much requests, Dr. William Li showed the slide with a list of Anti-angiogenic foods.

Some are a bit exotic such as ginseng and sea cucumber and could be expensive to acquire. Most of them are inexpensive and common food that we consume daily.

I’m trying to make sense of the list by grouping them.  Some of them can be taken in volume, e.g. fruits, drink and vegetables. Others cannot have a significant amount in your daily dietary, e.g. spices, ginseng, olive oil and grape seed oil.

Dietary sources of naturally-occurring anti-angiogenic substances
Fruits	Spices	Drink	Vegetable	Others
Strawberries	Lavender	Red wine	Pumpkin	Dark chocolate
Blackberries	Parsley	Green tea	Bok choy	Sea cucumber
Raspberries	Garlic		Kale	Tuna
Blueberries	Nutmeg		Soy beans	Ginseng
Oranges	Licorice		Artichoke	Olive oil
Grapefruit	Turmeric		Maitake mushroom	Grape seed oil
Lemons			Tomato
Apples
Pineapple
Cherries
Red grapes

I’m not sure whether Dr. William Li had tested all common food exhaustively. But there are things conspicuously missing, such as coffee, white grapes.  For me, I’d swap those unlisted for the listed here.  It’s better to err on the side of caution.

Now it’s also known that some food if taken in large quantity contain bad or toxic substance, e.g. Tuna has high concentration of  mercury; grape seed oil is ~70% linoleic acid (omega-6), which is believed to be a significant contributor to oxidization of LDL and Heart Disease.

There must be a fine balance.

I guess the old adage: an apple a day, keep doctor away, should mean that it’s safe to consume large quantity of apples.
