5.0 out of 5 stars The 185 recipes are practical, nutritious, delicious, January 8, 2002
By Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews
Buffy Sanders originally created the recipes comprising The Prostate Diet Cookbook: Cancer-Fighting Foods For A Healthy Prostate when her husband was diagnosed with an aggressive form of prostate cancer and was given only 18 months to live. That was five years ago. Buffy's diet led to a spectacular turn-around and today her husband leads a normal, active, cancer-free life. The 185 recipes are practical, nutritious, delicious, and kitchen cook friendly. The Prostate Diet Cookbook is very strongly recommended for anyone with a family member or friend who is endangered by or is at risk for cancer of the prostate.

4.0 out of 5 stars Hope And A Fun Approach To Food Preparation, February 17, 2002
By Rosemary Brunschwyler (Homewood, Alabama, USA) - See all my reviews
It makes sense that a proper diet can have an impact on the prevention and treatment of prostate cancer. I have some doubt, however, about the ability of certain foods to destroy prostate cancer cells as claimed on the dust jacket. Fighting prostate cancer is a grim business and this book will help PC survivors and their loving spouses because it provides hope and a fun approach to food preparation. I am presently using the book more for its ideas and inspiration instead of trying to precisely follow each recipe.

1.0 out of 5 stars Why I decided against this book, February 16, 2004
By Patrick Oshea (Flint Hill, VA United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Background: my PSA has doubled in 6 months, but is still under 4.0. I am putting off a 2nd biopsy until I have given dietary changes a chance to kick in.

{The cover of the book has a picture of tomatoes. I believe Lycopene to be over-hyped at present, since there are no studies that show supplementation lowering PSA levels.}

Mr. Guler's comments worried me. The meat issue is really a fat issue (I wonder if the surge in Atkins adherents will lead to a surge in prostate cancer). The fat issue, as I understand it, is (a) the quantity of fat and (b) an imbalance between omega-3 & omega-6 fats.

Im told that grass-fed beef is lower in fat & has a one-to-one ratio, whereas corn-fattened beef has very little omega-3. So beef isn't entirely out of the question.

Fish can be a problem. Farmed salmon is high in fat, but because of the feed, it contains little or no omega-3.

My new diet has more fish (not farmed) than meat. Complex carbs. Vegetables such as broccoli & peppers, but not potatoes. No dessert. No dairy. Zone diet portions. Any general purpose cookbook will provide sufficient recipes.
