Editorial Reviews

Product Description
Prostate cancer is now the most common nonskin cancer among men in the United States. In 2005 alone, 250,000 new cases were diagnosed, and that number is certain to rise with each passing year. No one is more aware of this than David Ricketts, experienced cookbook author and recent prostate cancer survivor.

Shortly after surgery and radiation treatments, Ricketts began to research food and lifestyle changes that might inhibit the likelihood of prostate cancer as well as its progression. The result is this uniquely specific cookbook, which takes full advantage of foods thought to fight prostate cancer while eliminating those believed to contribute to the disease. Eat to Beat Prostate Cancer Cookbook features more than 200 delicious recipes for everything from snacks, sandwiches, and drinks to main-course dishes-all foods that will appeal to the entire family. This tremendously useful book also benefits from the author's firsthand experience, as he offers insight into what to expect regarding diagnosis and treatment of prostate cancer, as well as practical advice for making the transition to healthier cooking, smarter eating, and a longer life.

About the Author
From 1987 to 2004, David Ricketts was the recipe and contributing food editor to Family Circle magazine. The author or coauthor of a dozen cookbooks, Ricketts continues to monitor his prostate cancer. He lives on Cape Cod.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good food and good medicine: a wonderful gift for caregivers or spouse, March 29, 2006
The standard American diet is associated with significantly more prostate cancer than Asian diets, seen by the fact that the sons and grandsons of Asian immigrants develop prostate cancer more frequently as they integrate into American culture.

As a physician and medical oncologist, I am often asked about diet by my patients and their families.

This book is the best one for people concerned with prostate cancer; it is up to date on nutritional research, yet the food is good and easy to prepare. A wonderful gift for any spouse who wants to know what they can do to help. The price is great too.

The website (prostatecancercookbook.com) has great articles and web links for patients and families.

5.0 out of 5 stars Eat to Beat Prostate Cancer Cookbook, January 12, 2007
This is a great cookbook for anyone to use. Easy to follow recipes, foods that are very healthy and spices that enhance the flavors.

Our cholesterol has gone down and that was not the focus of purchasing the book.

Recommend without reservation!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Me: 1; Prostate Cancer: 0, May 5, 2006
When it comes to eating, I'm about as carnivorous as a T-Rex. However, after hearing about diet being linked to (prostate) cancer and all, I decided to add a healthy component to my diet. Prior to getting this book, I considered holding a pack of tofu or soy milk as severely compromising my masculinity. And I still do. Nonetheless, the benefits that have come from my change in diet are well worth it! I've shed a few pounds and feel great. Ninety-nine percent of the recipes I've tried are easy and delicious. Speaking of easy and delicious, I've impressed a couple of my dates with these recipes. Although I still eat like a T-Rex, from time to time, I feel confident that (prostate) cancer won't make me extinct. Cheers!
