In 2005 alone, 250,000 new cases were diagnosed, and that number is certain to rise with each passing year. No one is more aware of this than David Ricketts, experienced cookbook author and recent prostate cancer survivor. Shortly after surgery and radiation treatments, Ricketts began to research food and lifestyle changes that might inhibit the likelihood of prostate cancer as well as its progression. The result is this uniquely specific cookbook, which takes full advantage of foods thought to fight prostate cancer while eliminating those believed to contribute to the disease. Eat to Beat Prostate Cancer Cookbook features more than 200 delicious recipes for everything from snacks, sandwiches, and drinks to main-course dishes-all foods that will appeal to the entire family. This tremendously useful book also benefits from the author's firsthand experience, as he offers insight into what to expect regarding diagnosis and treatment of prostate cancer, as well as practical advice for making the transition to healthier cooking, smarter eating, and a longer life.

Along with good medical treatment, it is so useful to do something yourself to help. Good, tasty, nutritious meals are a very good start. This gem of a cookbook is a must. I heartily recommend it. The recipes are not complicated. I am not a "gourmet" cook. But they are easy and the ingredients can be found in most food stores and health food stores. I wish more physicians were inclined to stress nutrition along with proper ... Read More Rating: - Highly Recommended!David Ricketts wrote this book because he developed prostate cancer; I cook from it because it's chockful of fabulous tasting, easy-to-prepare, and super-nutritious recipes. And because, as a nutritionist, I know that basing a diet on the foods featured in this book is a smart choice, not only for men who are trying to beat prostate cancer, but for anyone who is striving to stay healthy. Rating: - Eat to Beat Prostate Cancer CookbookThis is a great cookbook for anyone to use. Easy to follow recipes, foods that are very healthy and spices that enhance the flavors. Our cholesterol has gone down and that was not the focus of purchasing the book. Recommend without reservation!!
