HyperFoods: Machine intelligent mapping of cancer-beating molecules in foods
Figure 4 was particularly interesting, in that so many favorites that I have written about are there.

This explains why nutrition/cancer studies are close to worthless. They control for one or
two of the 100+ independent variables, let the rest go wild, and expect meaningful results.
In engineering, we would use something called the "giggle test" before undergoing such a study.
I totally agree with cachlessclay. OK, now we have all of the nice diagrams and charts. What do we do with them? Anything about therapeutic or clinical amounts--nooo. These researchers just throw the stuff onto a wall to see what sticks. As they mention, talk about apples, you need to include peel, but they don't say how much or how many apples. I once tried to figure out how many apples one would have to consume to get the needed ursolic acid--I think I came up with 15 a day. OK, let's say there is a synergistic effect in combining several of these hyperfoods. Again, no evidence is provided. I would bet that if one went into the citations themselves, you wouldn't get much of an answer. I have written letters to many researchers in the past, on behalf of HU, but never received any replies to my questions. As for the hyperfoods, themselves, "Eat to Beat Disease: The New Science of How Your Body Can Heal Itself" by Dr. William W. Li who makes an effort to tie all of this stuff together so that it makes sens. ted.com/talks/william_li/di...
Perhaps you need to understand better the scope of it... We could do the same with nutrition that feed cancer too.... be patient and let a consistent database be constructed (away from those guys that believe that ONLY ONE thing - I mean one food, like the actual stupid traditional medicine is trying since 70 years with A single miraculous drug!!!!) will do the job. This is misleading. Now is time to better understand synergies between things which is VERY complex BUT with a consistent DB, intelligent design of experiments (thing that actual oncologist's and most researchers in this field doen't know what it means) and good programing will open a new perspective on the topic. Let see
.. I'm pretty confident that some amazing results will come with this approach.
"We could do the same with nutrition that feed cancer too" . . . exactly. So, let's say
we have a chart of foods that feed cancer. How much overlap will there be, that is,
foods that both "fight" and "feed" cancer? All listed high GI fruit will overlap. So will potatoes, sweet potatoes, corn, beets and rice.
Until this is sorted out, I'm using the rule that foods that result in "insulin spikes" or "iron spikes" are cancer feeders. Cancer cells have more receptors for both insulin and iron (transferrin receptor, TfR).
This study is perhaps the most impressive undertaking I have seen in nutrition/cancer.
Looks like it can be continuously updated, and will only get better. Underwhelmed by
studies coming out of the US since I started working on my PC diet, six years ago. The potential here is impressive indeed.
Does anybody understand why the US effort in nutrition/cancer appears to be stuck at a much lower level? We are still answering "does sugar feed cancer"?
Medical doctors in the US don’t like math? Just kidding but not totally as the level of math and statistics taught to US medical students is not high. Biostatisticians who work with physicians are also usually not trained in machine learning.
Excellent. I hope there are further studies to address the limitations of the study that the authors identified.
Happy that grape gets a high score and hope it includes red wine. Less happy that the coffee bean does not seem to be included.
I would be careful with grapes. A small amount of tart grapes buried within the meal
may work. I haven't tried that. I did try juicing a small amount of grapes and it destroyed
the diet. Coffee (black, no sugar) works fine in my diet, at one mug/day. Likely to work at higher amounts as well.
Author's comments on metformin and chromium picolinate very relevant given my regimen. Thanks for posting.
Wow, very interesting read. Can't say I absorbed it all, and I will try to absorb a lot of the whole fruits and veggies!
This is your opinion.... And reflects clearly your mindset. Not for me. Very toxic... Bests

Good Luck, Good Health and Good Humor.
