05 Jul 2019 --- A network-based machine learning platform which can identify food-based, cancer-beating molecules has been created by Imperial College London researchers. The platform uses artificial intelligence (AI) to process huge volumes of data on a network of smartphones while they charge overnight. It has shown that plant-based foods, such as carrot, celery, orange, grape, coriander, cabbage and dill, contain the largest number of flavonoid molecules with high anti-cancer properties. The researchers note that the analysis underpins the design of next-generation cancer preventative and therapeutic nutrition strategies, as well as underlining the necessity of a personalized approach to health.
