Re: Ontology to link food and diseases

One of the datasets at http://data.totl.net is

Causes of Cancer
The Daily Mail has put a huge amount of effort in instructing the UK public about what causes and prevents cancer. Here we have marked up the causes and preventions where possible linking to a valid dbpedia URI. Also includes references to the relevant news stories.

Browse:
http://graphite.ecs.soton.ac.uk/browser/?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fdata.totl.net%2Fcancer_causes.rdf

It has a fair bit of data, but not a very rich ontology (hardly any), so possibly not a huge help.
But certainly good reading.
