Revised and updated with the latest research, new recipes, and practical suggestions for relieving 25 types of cancer. Drawing on the most up-to-date cancer and heart research, Michio Kushi presents a ground-breaking dietary program that can be implemented safely and simply in the home at a fraction of the cost of usual meals and medical care. As the risk and incidence of cancer increases, The Cancer Prevention Diet continues to be essential reading for anyone seeking to maintain or regain optimum health through natural means. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Healthy oils are essentialSome of the ideas in this book are great; others are terrible. The important work that has been done since the 1980s concerning the essential, healing role that omega-3 fatty acids play in the human diet is not reflected in this book. Be very, very cautious if you use this book. Be sure to read widely to make up for the major deficits of scientific, nutritional knowledge that plague this author. Rating:  - Informative and Well-WrittenOnce again, Mischio Kushi has written an informative and precise book on how to maintain your health, even when facing a diagnosis of cancer.

Being that they were Japanese, the healthiest and longest lived people in the world, this doesn't really speak well for the diet. However, macrobiotics, when taken with common sense, have been known to help cancer patients, some say to the extent of "curing" them. Follow your own instincts... and keep in touch with a trusted doctor!
