Helping treatment with nutrition and excellent recipes

The word "cancer" is possibly one of the most fearful one can hear. Along with good medical treatment, it is so useful to do something yourself to help. Good, tasty, nutritious meals are a very good start. This gem of a cookbook is a must. I heartily recommend it. The recipes are not complicated. I am not a "gourmet" cook. But they are easy and the ingredients can be found in most food stores and health food stores. I wish more physicians were inclined to stress nutrition along with proper medication, but this is something you can do yourself. By all means, get this book!

Highly Recommended!

David Ricketts wrote this book because he developed prostate cancer; I cook from it because it's chockful of fabulous tasting, easy-to-prepare, and super-nutritious recipes. And because, as a nutritionist, I know that basing a diet on the foods featured in this book is a smart choice, not only for men who are trying to beat prostate cancer, but for anyone who is striving to stay healthy.

Eat to Beat Prostate Cancer Cookbook

This is a great cookbook for anyone to use. Easy to follow recipes, foods that are very healthy and spices that enhance the flavors. Our cholesterol has gone down and that was not the focus of purchasing the book. Recommend without reservation!!

Me: 1; Prostate Cancer: 0

When it comes to eating, I'm about as carnivorous as a T-Rex. However, after hearing about diet being linked to (prostate) cancer and all, I decided to add a healthy component to my diet. Prior to getting this book, I considered holding a pack of tofu or soy milk as severely compromising my masculinity. And I still do. Nonetheless, the benefits that have come from my change in diet are well worth it! I've shed a few pounds and feel great. Ninety-nine percent of the recipes I've tried are easy and delicious. Speaking of easy and delicious, I've impressed a couple of my dates with these recipes. Although I still eat like a T-Rex, from time to time, I feel confident that (prostate) cancer won't make me extinct. Cheers!

Good food and good medicine: a wonderful gift for caregivers or spouse

The standard American diet is associated with significantly more prostate cancer than Asian diets, seen by the fact that the sons and grandsons of Asian immigrants develop prostate cancer more frequently as they integrate into American culture. As a physician and medical oncologist, I am often asked about diet by my patients and their families. This book is the best one for people concerned with prostate cancer; it is up to date on nutritional research, yet the food is good and easy to prepare. A wonderful gift for any spouse who wants to know what they can do to help. The price is great too. The website (prostatecancercookbook.com) has great articles and web links for patients and families.
