 A Very Important Book December 22, 2008

I wish I had read this book many years ago, as I am now a cancer survivor. However, since I intend to do my best to prevent a recurrence, it is still extremely valuable. What one reads in this book can also be read from the reports of the major cancer conferences in the country, such as the recent San Antonio Breast Cancer Conference in December.
This book begins with one of the best explanations of cancer and how it develops in our bodies that I have ever read. (And I have read a lot!) As it continues, it then relates to how food is at least equal to, if not better, than resorting to medications. How many times have we heard to eat five servings of vegetables and fruits each day? Which of them or both is meant by that admonition? This book makes it clear which and how many, and most importantly, why. Beautifully illustrated, well written for the lay person, a valuable tool in the fight not only against cancer, but for good health!
Just a follow up note: I also purchased Recipes for Foods to Fight Cancer, a recipe book produced by the same authors with celebrity chefs producing recipes using the recommended foods. (After all, how many of us know how to fix seaweed?) However, while it is attractive and interesting, I would have preferred more simple, every day recipes, rather than gourmet recipes. Stick with Foods to Fight Cancer and you'll have all the information you need.
If you are fighting cancer, buy THIS book April 18, 2009

My husband is fighting pancreatic cancer, and we are looking to do everything possible to make him healthy. I purchased several books on anti-cancer foods, but this one was the one based mostly on research, fact and data. The others seemed more anecdotal and less based on solid information.
Although it is published in 2007, it still has great information. It is missing some newer information (i.e., Triphala & Capscaisin), but overall, it is the BEST resource out there that I have found (and I have been looking).
The authors explain the biology and chemistry behind their recommendations in an understandable and useful way. EXCELLENT BOOK. You should buy it even if you are healthy, as it will show you how to prevent cancer as well.
Excellent Book! May 9, 2008

This is an excellent book that goes into the hows and whys of the various anti-cancer foods. The book is filled with great info you won't easily find elsewhere, such as that not all Green Tea is the same when it comes to EGCG content (Japanese Green Tea has more than Chinese Green Tea). Why not swing the odds of living a long healthy life in your favor as much as possible? Eat the foods talked about in this book and you'll increase your odds of dodging the cancer bullet.

It is difficult to eat well when fighting cancer. This book makes it easy to understand simple changes to make and foods to include. When dealing with low energy, it helps to keep food inspiring, and to make it simple. The book is beautiful, and makes it easy to want to make healthier choices. I also love the companion book "cooking with foods to fight cancer."
Fantastic June 28, 2008

Foods to fight cancer is one of the best information regarding nutrition that either will help or prevent cancer. Richard Beliveau is one of the pioneer in actual research in laboratory regarding "foods".The book is well explained and fits with the new International seller called "anticancer" (David Schreiber) which I had the pleasure to read.(available in the USA in October 2008).
