old information, maybe good for someone new to this area
If you've spent time researching a healthy diet and lifestyle, and already live a healthy life, this book is not going to shock you with any new information. If you aren't living a healthy life, this book can provide all the basic information, and some gentle guidelines on how to do it. You've probably heard some of it on the news or in magazines...

This review is from: Stopping Cancer Before It Starts: The American Institute for Cancer Research's Program for Cancer Prevention (Hardcover)
The American Institute for Cancer Research has long been known as a leader in the field of diet, nutrition and cancer. This new handbook for cancer prevention presents findings from some of the latest research in this field and translates it into practical actions anyone can take for lower cancer risk.While most of the basic advice may seem fairly common sense (eat more fruits and vegetables, avoid being overweight, stay physically active) the unfortunate truth is that too few people actually practice most of it. This book provides a good insight into the role that various factors, such as diet, exercise and obesity, play in cancer prevention. It combines solid information with practical ideas for making lifestyle changes for lower cancer risk. According to the book, more than 375,000 cases of cancer in just the U.S. could be prevented through simple dietary and lifestyle changes. The book also provides a wide range of recipes that illustrate how to prepare foods that are not only helpful in lowering cancer risk, but that are also interesting and exciting eating. No book can lower cancer risk -- that result can only happen when a reader absorbs the advice and makes practical changes. But this book provides a good source of reliable information, plus a lot of very practical advice to help make the process much easier.
