Eat to Beat Disease

Reviews

"In a new ground-breaking study--Eat to Beat Disease--Dr. William W. Li provides the knowledge and tools to make better decisions what to eat every day. This easy-to-read book is not a diet book but help you better understand what you eat."—--The Washington Book Review "As the former Secretary of Agriculture, one of my tasks was to promote good health and nutrition by giving the public modern, scientifically based information, on the foods they eat. Dr. Li's transformational book is one of the best narratives I have read on the scientific relationship between healthy food, nutrition, and the fight against disease. I recommend it highly."—-Dan Glickman, Former US Secretary of Agriculture, Vice President, Aspen Institute, Former Chairman, Motion Picture Association of America "An ode to one of life's greatest pleasures and a convincing case for a healthy appetite. This book will entertain, educate, devour and then empower you. Dr. William Li teaches us that we have radically underestimated our own power to transform and restore our health. This is a fascinating story of the power of food, a reflection on what we mean by health, and practical tool with the 5x5x5 framework to make sure we are around to enjoy life's pleasures for as long as possible."—-Bono "Molecular Medicine has finally been joined by Molecular Nutrition! For decades, we captured a primitive understanding 'healthy foods' and applied maxims like 'an apple a day keeps the doctor away.' In this book, Dr. Li not only tells us why an apple has health benefits but even more importantly tells us which variety of apple is best!"—-Andrew C. Von Eschenbach, MD, President, Samaritan Health Initiatives, Former Director of the National Cancer Institute, Former Commissioner of the Food and Drug Administration "A ground breaking physician shares how we can use food to hack our natural defense systems and hardwire ourselves for health."—-Mehmet Oz, MD, Host, The Dr. Oz Show "Dr. William Li is a healthcare pioneer... Dr. Li helps our readers thrive by unpacking how the body's own systems respond to what we eat. His book will give practical tips for healthier living and empower readers with ways they can help their bodies fight disease."—Arianna Huffington, Founder and CEO, Thrive Global "'We are what we eat' goes the old cliché, but it would be more accurate to say that 'we are what we extract from our food.' What if food is more than energy and more than nutrition but a form of medicine? In his ground-breaking book Eat to Beat Disease, Dr. William Li brings the discipline of clinical medical research to bear on a new analysis of the relationship between food and health. Piecing together the puzzle of the how the food we consume impacts how the human body functions and how it protects itself from disease, Dr. Li puts forward a new paradigm to explain this relationship: 'Food as Medicine.' Eat to Beat Disease heralds a revolution in thinking about how the food we eat dictates our health."—-The Edge, U2, Director, The Angiogenesis Foundation "Finally! A book that tells us the truth about what we can eat to be healthy, based on real science, from a true expert. Eat to Beat Disease will completely change the way you think about your body and the choices you make when you grocery shop, cook for your family, or dine out. Read this book from cover to cover if you want to be on top of your game for health, beauty, and fitness, from the inside out. When it comes to food and health, I'm so happy to have Dr. Li in my camp!"—-Cindy Crawford "Among the many diet and health books of recent years, this book should top the list. Dr. William Li, an experienced internal medicine physician, also has an outstanding professional reputation in medical research. He knows science and how to present it to the public. His facts can only lead to a more fulfilling way to think about health for all of us."
