Riassunto

Breast cancer is the most common type of cancer diagnosed among women in the United States. It is second only to lung cancer as a leading cause of cancer death in females. The National Cancer Institute estimated that 230,480 women were diagnosed with breast cancer in the US in 2011 and 39,520 women died from it.

And the scary part is anyone can get cancer. There is no single diet, food, or nutrient that will keep you from getting cancer. However, in the same way that wearing a seatbelt may protect you from being injured in a car accident, eating certain types of food may help to protect you from developing many cancers, including breast cancer.

Dr. Julia Greer - cancer expert and author of The Anti-Cancer Cookbook - pulls together everything you need to know about breast cancer and the foods you should eat to protect you from developing breast cancer. She shares her collection of more than 200 recipes for sauces, main courses, sandwiches, breads, desserts and beverages - many of which are vegan or vegetarian and over half are gluten free.

All of the recipes are made from common everyday ingredients chock-full of powerful antioxidants that may significantly slash your risk of developing breast cancer.

Recensione

Here is a great variety, indeed a wealth of gourmet recipes to try, with an emphasis on the best of seasonal produce that will enhance the daily health of its fans and devourers. - --Midwest Book Review, March 2013---very interesting and informative. This paperback book doesn't have any fancy pictures of food for the recipes, nor is it in colour. What it does have, is more than 250 recipes that are easy to follow and have no need to buy any fancy cookware. It is very well written and presented. Recipe ingredients aren't anything outrageous or expensive, and they aren't things you (well I) can't pronounce like there are in some cookbooks! Although some of the ingredients are American brand items, us lot in the UK can very easily find the same UK alternative. The recipes in this cookbook are packed with power antioxidants, super easy to follow and the ingredients are readily available. Every recipe shows the nutritional serving information, number of calories, grams of fat, salt, fibre content. Many of the recipes are are Vegan, Vegetarian, and over half are Gluten-Free. From breads, breakfasts, dips, sauces, side dishes, soups, salads, sandwiches and burgers to more formal dishes for dinner parties. Oh and in case you were wondering, desserts and beverages haven't been missed out either! Considering the UK has the 11th highest incidents of breast cancer in the world, I'd say this book is well worth buying. --Aglugofoil, April, 2013---Greer, a physician, has married her love of cooking and her medical specialty cancer research to come up with more than 200 recipes for soups, sauces, main courses, vegetarian dishes, sandwiches, breads, desserts, and beverages that are loaded with ingredients that have antioxidants known to reduce the risk of several cancers. On each recipe ...Greer notes what antioxidants the food includes and what types of cancers it helps fight. Some of her favorites are banana bread, low-fat blueberry muffins, balsamic chicken, and chocolate-almond biscotti. In the book she also explains what cancer is and how antioxidants work to prevent precancerous mutations in the body s cells, and she describes which foods have been shown to help prevent certain types of cancers. --Princeton Alumni, April, 2013
