This review is from: The Cancer Survival Cookbook: 200 Quick & Easy Recipes with Helpful Eating Hints (Paperback)

This book has very helpful information for Cancer patients going through Chemotherapy and Radiation treatments. Everyone can benefit from this information. The recipes are Excellent and easy. I like the fact that nutritional information is given and and that hints are given on how to increase the calorie intake when needed. I wish I had seen this book when I was in treatment. I use and love the recipes now!

This review is from: The Cancer Survival Cookbook: 200 Quick & Easy Recipes with Helpful Eating Hints (Paperback)

This book was recommended to me by an oncologist, and I found it was very helpful. There are recipes devoted to foods easier to eat for patients who have side effects from chemotherapy. Some very delicious soups, smoothees, etc. This cookbook shows that nutritious recipes can taste very good.

This review is from: The Cancer Survival Cookbook: 200 Quick & Easy Recipes with Helpful Eating Hints (Paperback)

I was absolutely shocked at the recipes included in this book. The desserts are loaded with fat, even trans fats, and sugar. When my mother was fighting cancer, she was told she could have a very small amount of butter, but never margarine. The chocolate chip bars in this book are the same recipe as on the package of chocolate chips only says to use butter flavored shortening instead of butter. REALLY? Use hydrogenated, trans fat instead? And the amount of sugar is the same too. Why do other cancer experts advise to cut out added sugar and unhealthy added fats? Says to mix cream cheese with various nuts and fruit for a spread to use on bagels, toast, etc. How about advising to cut it out? Lots of really bad recipes in this book.
