Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)The title makes this volume sound like one of the dozens (hundreds?) of "healthy eating" books on the market. The recipes in fact look very healthy and rather appetizing. However, the first half of the book is probably THE BEST explanation of prostate cancer and the known dietary influences on the disease that I've seen. Specific nutrients are considered in detail one after another, and the most current studies regarding each are carefully summarized and compared (it appears that virtually every significant study regarding the impact of nutrition on prostate cancer up to the publication date of the book is cited in the chapter notes). Dr. Myers is a well respected medical researched (formerly at NIH, and now at the University of Virginia), and writes carefully and clearly. He makes it clear that there are no known magic bullets, and builds a very convincing case for a balanced low fat, low calorie diet, emphasizing regular consumption of certain foods, with clear explantions of the rationale for each recommendation. Highly recommended.
