Feeding Our Health Defenses (William Li) | DLD Munich 20

Speaker:
William Li, CEO, President, and Co-Founder, Angiogenesis Foundation

In this DLD20 talk, William Li, CEO and co-founder of the Angionesis Foundation, makes a compelling case for how food impacts our health defenses by drawing from studies that show the benefits of foods, like soy and cooked tomatoes, in fighting cancer.

According to a study published in the British Journal The Lancet, for example, 11 million deaths were attributed to dietary risk factors, such as the low-intake of fruits, vegetables, nuts, legumes and whole grains, in 2017.

“The technology that nature laced in the food is meeting the technology that we have within our body”, Li says. “This is really the future-forward way to think about food technology as we undergo innovation. Not just inventing new technologies, but really understanding the technologies that exist already, we're hacking into the body and trying to understand what happens when you combine these forces together.”
