This is the first video in a three-part series on cancer metastasis. The next two are:
• How to Help Control Cancer Metastasis with Diet (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/how-to-control-cancer-metastasis-with-diet)
• The Food That Can Downregulate the Metastatic Cancer Gene (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/the-food-that-can-downregulate-the-metastatic-cancer-gene)

This reminds me of my video Cholesterol Feeds Breast Cancer Cells (https://nutritionfacts.org/video/Cholesterol-Feeds-Breast-Cancer-Cells). I’ve got scores of other cancer videos, and if you’re looking for a good overview, check out How Not to Die from Cancer (https://nutritionfacts.org/video/how-not-to-die-from-cancer).
