In Eat to Beat Disease, Dr. Li presents research on how specific foods may help maintain good health and support the body’s ability to protect itself.

“Dr. Li integrates both the science and the joy of foods that improve our metabolism and reduce our risk of chronic diseases—eating well and eating good—and delivers new insights from human studies showing how we can eat foods we love that are also foods as medicine.”
 

Dr. Dean Ornish

“Dr Li expertly discusses how food can be flavourful, enticing, delicious and healing through the lens of rigorous modern science and traditional culinary practices. Eat to Beat Your Diet is a masterpiece of writing.”

 

Dr. Rupy Aujla

“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, Eat to Beat Disease, is one of the best narratives I have read on the scientific relationship between healthy food, nutrition, and the fight against disease.”
