In this international bestseller, Dr. Khayat provides
easy-to-follow--and often surprising--guidelines on what are now known
to be the foods most likely to reduce the risk of cancer. For those of a
scientific bent, he explains what cancer is and how it develops.
Bringing together his own research with that of other major cancer
specialists, he breaks down what the studies mean, which ones provide
the most solid evidence, and how to use their results in your and your
family's diet.
Structured by the major food groups--as well as supplements, beverages,
and exercise--The Anticancer Diet may surprise you by not disparaging
red meat but alerting you to find out the source of your fish and
suggesting sole over salmon. While highly recommending commercial
pomegranate juice, it cautions people with fair hair and eyes against
drinking orange juice. What stage of life a person is at will also
affect what they should consume. Pregnant women, older women, men, and
children may process foods differently.
With numerous easy-to-read charts and tables along with a comprehensive
food list at the back of the book, this accessible, user-friendly guide
helps readers realize the power in their everyday choices.
