From the Inside Flap

Prostate cancer is the most common non-skin cancer in America to affect men, with 1 in 6 men suffering from the disease. Yet there is evidence that the health of the prostate can be helped by eating the right foods and avoiding the harmful effects of others. This book sets out the latest research in jargon-free language and defines clearly the link between diet and prostate cancer. A detailed introduction looks at the scale of prostate cancer and its risk factors. It looks at how eating diets rich in certain foods can help prevent the development of the disease and how it spreads. Why is diet so important? How might these foods work? And which are the best sources of polyphenols, lycopene, selenium, vitamin D, vitamin E, and cruciferous and Allium vegetables that can help protect the prostate? Chefs such as Antony Worrall Thompson, Cyrus Todiwala, Raymond Blanc, Alex Mackay, and Gino D'Acampo have contributed over 100 recipes. Simple to prepare and made from easily accessible ingredients, these recipes provide the essentials for a diet that can help prevent the development of prostate cancer and may hinder its progression. Above all they are extremely tasty and healthy.
