Healing Gourmet Eat to Fight Cancer

Regardless of this work's provocative title and cache of contributing specialists, readers seeking a specific plan to ""beat"" cancer won't find it here. Despite the authors' efforts to offer convincing research, in the end, they offer merely promises and possibilities. Moreover, many of their food recommendations are based on the effect of isolated nutrients on laboratory cancer cells-which is often a far cry from the impact of whole foods on the human body. However, it has been proven that a balanced diet high in fruits, vegetables and whole grains and low in saturated fat can increase one's potential for optimal health-and this book deftly explains how to achieve this. It offers a stellar recipe collection; there are good tips on coping with the side effects of cancer treatment and a solid explanation of the warning signs and risk factors of common cancers. Readers who need reasons to eat brussel sprouts when they'd rather have cake, or who don't know how to turn healthy eating into tasty eating are the most likely audience for this book.
