William Li: Can we eat to starve cancer?



http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B9bDZ5-zPtY

William Li presents a new way to think about cancer treatment: angiogenesis, targeting the blood vessels that feed a tumor. The crucial first (and best) step: Eating cancer-fighting foods that beat cancer at its own game. (Recorded at TED2010, February 2010 in Long Beach, CA. Duration: 20:02)

Great TED Talk on staving cancer early with an antiangiogenesis diet. The video is 20 minutes, but very well worth watching.

From Wikipedia, "angiogenesis is a physiological process involving the growth of new blood vessels from pre-existing vessels." Basically, this is what cancer tumors do to try to grow. Since cancer tumors don't have their own blood vessels, the try and steal blood vessels to help them grow.

Social Experiment - Shopping While Black

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yAkDHuimJRc This experiment turns into a pretty emotional one. While some people are unaffected by the discrimination they observe, others are completely offended on behalf of the victim. One man who objects to her treatment can relate because of his own experiences, but other people (two different white women) seem completely offended by the idea that anyone would be treated in such a way. Consider (though we haven't talked about this year) what is it about some people that makes them step forward on behalf of a stranger? Some people are content to witness something in their surroundings but are somewhat unaffected by it, while others are compelled to act. What is the motivating factor? Could it have anything to do with each person's place in Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs, maybe? The stronger ones who are higher in the chart, closer to self-actualization, may feel more comfortable stepping forward while others, less secure in themselves and the...
