More than 200 specific recipes featuring ingredients that have a particular relevance for fighting various forms of cancer Dec 12, 2008
By Midwest Book Review It has long been known and clinically demonstrated that food has a direct link to health, and that some foods are not only nutritious for the human body, they are also medical and remedial. In "The Anti-Cancer Cookbook: How To Cut Your Risk With the Most Powerful, Cancer-Fighting Foods", Dr. Julia B. Greer has compiled more than 200 specific recipes featuring ingredients that have a particular relevance for fighting various forms of cancer. The step-by-step instructions for each individual recipe are in accordance with cooking methods that protect the anti-cancer properties of the ingredients. Of special note is the cogent, practical, 'real-world' advice for making healthy menu choices when dining out. From Chilled Apple Oatmeal; Red Pepper Hummus; Maple-Pecan Broccoli; and Newport Beach Turkey Pasta Salad; to Portobello Tofu Tacos; Mahi Mahi with Citrus Sauces and Black Beans; Spice-Rubbed Filet Mignon with Grilled Tomatoes; and Chocolate Chocolate-Chip Zucchini Brownies, "The Anti-Cancer Cookbook" is a veritable cornucopia of dishes suitable for every dining occasion and highly recommended for anyone having to prepare meals with cancer prevention and treatment in mind.

Bagels and Cream Cheese? No Way! Oct 17, 2008
By Coco Pazzo
"vivaitalia"
Dr. Greer offers tastey tidbits to tempt your palate. And better still, she helps you fight off the Big C. She's no Emeril ("Bam!"...thank heavens) but she does offer many helpful suggestions that can really be beneficial to your lifespan. This is not the usual lots-of-butter-and cream richness found in some quarters, nor is it the ascetic "bean-sprouts-and-hope" offered by others. Instead, it is sensible, research-based suggestions and recipes that can help save your life. While helping make your life at the table worth living. My only reservation is that I keep recalling the old saying, "Never trust a skinny chef," but since the intent is to keep you healthy, rather than provide cutting edge haute cuisine, I'll give her the benefit of the doubt. I'd dine happily with Dr. Julia Greer any day.

Note from the publisher Aug 17, 2009
By Karin Craig I just wanted to point out that this book was originally published in 2008, not in the 1970s as one reviewer here had suggested. If there are other books out there with similar titles from the 1970s, they are not related to this book in any way.

Perfect perfect perfect! Apr 26, 2009
By All Things in Time
"Lynnboo"
I bought this as a way to better support my husband battle a recurrence of cancer. But it's turning into a Food Bible where I can find Yummy dishes that are just GOOD WHOLE FOOD without being kooky, hippy and with ingredients that you can only find at the corner organic grocery in Soho...I live in North Carolina. Easy recipies and tons of them! Many of them I use for my own HIGH cholesterol (I;m one of those people who are not overweight and healthy but have family genetic high cholesterol). So, I could write a 20,000 word essay on this book, but here's the bottom line: BUY IT, you'll use it and love it!!

excellent use of spices Sep 03, 2009
By B. Brown This is a clever book that educates you on foods that are helpful for cancer prevention while giving you recipes that are delicious at the same time. I think this author's use of spices is unusual and I have been able to take her combinations of spices and apply them to new recipes of my own. This book would make a wonderful gift for anyone.
