The World Health Organization determined, in 2010, that cancer has become the #1 cause of death around the globe. Based upon even relatively conservative evidence-based estimates, at least 50% of all new cancer cases could be prevented with rather moderate changes in our lifestyle and diet. Written for lay readers, "A Cancer Prevention Guide for the Human Race" is a unique and fully referenced health information resource that reviews the findings of hundreds of recent cancer prevention research studies, performed by thousands of the world's most prominent cancer researchers.

"A Cancer Prevention Guide for the Human Race," which has been called "the bible of cancer prevention books," is the essential guide to living an evidence-based cancer prevention lifestyle in the 21st century!
