Angiogenesis, the formation of blood vessels within the body, also provides fat tissue and cancers with needed nutrition. In a TED Talk in Feb 2010, William Li of the Angiogenesis Foundation outlines how the process of Angiogenesis works, and foods which inhibit that process. During the talk he also proposes that preventing angiogenesis can inhibit obesity and cancer. Here's a short list of the foods that Mr. Li provided in his talk:

Green Tea

Comments

Maybe

Oh, but one of the commenters on the TED talk also posted this link :

which basically says that for certain types of tumors anti-angiogenesis can be harmful.
