Angiogenesis—from the Latin angio for blood vessel and genesis to create—describes the process whereby a small cluster of cancer cells triggers the body to build hundreds or thousands of new blood vessels. This increases the delivery of nutrients (think glucose!) to tumors. The many signaling molecules that foster angiogenesis are activated by excess copper.

In this module, you'll discover simple diet and lifestyle self-care strategies to help prevent excess copper-driven angiogenesis.
