"Eat to Beat Disease is a trailblazing book. Author, world-renowned
physician and medical scientist Dr. William Li explains how we have
the power to help control our own health destiny by making
decisions that help the body heal itself. Dr. Li describes how more

beneficial health outcomes. Eat to Beat Disease is a must read - I
strongly endorse it."--Dean Ornish, MD
"'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
"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
"Among the many diet and health books of recent years, this book

about health for all of us."--T. Colin Campbell, PhD, Cornell
University, Author, The China Study and Whole
"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

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
"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

"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
"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
"The time has come for 'health' to be properly defined and for us
to understand clearly how food impacts health. Eat to Beat Disease
delivers on this vision in a big way - and with real science to
back it up. Dr. Li's highly enjoyable and informative book spreads
the word that achieving great health is within reach for all of us,
using the very foods that we love. Eat to Beat Disease will excite,
amaze, and inspire us all to eat healthy and defeat disease. And
remember - you are in control of your own destiny."--Louis J.
Ignarro, 1998 Nobel Laureate in Medicine
"Unlike so many books that turn people away from the foods they
enjoy, Eat to Beat Disease shows us how the foods we love actually
support our wellbeing and vitality. I recommend that every health
seeker read this new classic, and tell their friends and family all
about it."--Mark Hyman, MD, Director, Cleveland Clinic Center
