About this title

Synopsis

Based on the latest findings about the causes of cancer, an authoritative handbook dispels the myths about the subject and shows readers how to assess their current risk for cancer and reduce it through exercise and improvements to their diet.

Review

"A growing body of scientific evidence clearly shows that most cancers can be prevented, not through new medical breakthroughs or miracle drugs, but simply through the way we live," writes the American Institute for Cancer Research (AICR), which has been conducting cancer research and education programs since 1982. "Researchers now estimate that 60 percent to 70 percent of all cancers are directly linked to the foods we eat and related lifestyle factors, including smoking, exercise, and obesity." Stopping Cancer Before It Starts distills the research findings into changes you can make to reduce your risk. Does exercise have to be 30 minutes of aerobics? Does protein increase cancer risk? What's the big deal about fiber? What is a serving of fruits and vegetables, anyway? Each chapter topic or subtopic ends with "the take home message" which helps you translate the information into action. Plenty of self-tests and charts personalize the information. The book ends with 100 recipes to help you "go for the adventure" of expanding your healthful-food repertoire. Intriguing recipes include Carrot and Red Lentil P�t�, Kidney Bean and Quinoa Chowder, Confetti Meatloaf (made with ground turkey), Sicilian Spaghetti with Swordfish, and Stuffed Portobello Mushrooms (stuffed with kasha, potatoes, and onion). Unfortunately, nutritional breakdown is skimpy, including only calories and fat grams. --Joan Price
