Book Description

October 15, 2008
Eat broccoli sprouts to prevent bladder cancer . . . Eat more blueberries to reduce your risk of colon cancer . . . It seems that every day we hear new discoveries about various foods' anti-cancer properties. But the information comes in little bits, from all different directions, and it's hard to know how to put all this information to use in your own diet to reduce your risk of getting cancer. Now, Dr. Julia Greer a physician, cancer researcher, and food enthusiast pulls together everything you need to know about anti-cancer foods into one handy book: The Anti-Cancer Cookbook.


She explains what cancer is and how antioxidants work to prevent pre-cancerous mutations in your body's cells, and then describes in detail which foods have been scientifically shown to help prevent which types of cancer. She then shares her collection of more than 220 scrumptious recipes for soups, sauces, main courses, vegetarian dishes, sandwiches, breads, desserts, and beverages, all loaded with nutritious ingredients chock-full of powerful antioxidants that may significantly slash your risk of a broad range of cancer types, including lung, colon, breast, prostate, pancreatic, bladder, stomach, leukemia, and others. Dr. Greer even includes tips on how to cook foods to protect their valuable antioxidants and nutrients and how to make healthy anti-cancer choices when eating out. If you love good food and are looking for delicious ways to keep yourself and your family healthy and cancer-free, you'll find yourself reaching for The Anti-Cancer Cookbook time and time again.

More About the Author

I am a cancer researcher, raised in the south hills of Pittsburgh, and educated all over the country. I was actually an English major at Princeton--a bit of a different background than many MDs. I have always been something of a foodie and this book shows it!

5.0 out of 5 stars More than 200 specific recipes featuring ingredients that have a particular relevance for fighting various forms of cancer, December 11, 2008
This review is from: The Anti-Cancer Cookbook (Paperback)
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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Bagels and Cream Cheese? No Way!, October 17, 2008
This review is from: The Anti-Cancer Cookbook (Paperback)
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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Note from the publisher, August 17, 2009
This review is from: The Anti-Cancer Cookbook (Paperback)
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.
