Is there an answer for cancer? Your AP biologists will be inspired by this lecture on how the foods that we eat stimulate or inhibit the growth of blood vessels, which in turn, bring health or disease to the human body. Research is showing that eating the right foods can prevent cancer. Along with an informative lecture on this website, find multiple choice questions, links to other related talks about preventing, identifying, or reversing disease. Not only is this a fascinating enrichment for biology learners, it would also be a terrific lesson in a nutrition class.
