Harvard-trained physician-scientist Dr William Li — bestselling author of Eat to Beat Disease — reveals how the foods we eat every day can either protect us from cancer or quietly fuel it. We explore the body’s five health defence systems, why our DNA makes 10,000 daily mistakes yet rarely turns into disease, and how diet can strengthen our shields. Dr Li shares practical insights on the best foods to boost immunity, the hidden risks in ultra-processed diets and microplastics, and the exciting future of combining nutrition with cutting-edge treatments like immunotherapy.
