Food Science @ TED

Many of you may be familiar with the TED (Technology Entertainment and Design) conference. It features talks about "ideas worth spreading," and these talks are available free from TED.com. Recently, a post at onlineclasses.org was brought to my attention that has collected many of these talks relating to food science, called 20 Great TED Talks for Total Foodies. Some of them are really interesting, including a talk that I featured earlier on this blog by William Li called "Eating to Starve Cancer." There are also talks by talented and famous food people, including Michael Pollan among others. Go check them out!

Eating to Starve Cancer

There is an interesting summary of a presentation by Dr. William Li from the TED conference at BoingBoing. His talk discussed foods that prevent angiogenesis and thus prevent cancer from becoming deadly. File under: more good reasons to eat your fruits and veggies.
