Review
This stunning bestseller is a must-read for anyone wishing to improve their health.
In North America, 10 million people are currently living with cancer and about one third of cancer cases are directly linked to eating habits. Recent researches convincingly show the positive effect of particular foods and their anticancerous molecules in reducing the risk of developing cancer and even slowing its progression in people already affected. This book, based on extensive research is truly fascinating and remains easy to read. It will teach you, in a very accessible way, what you should be eating and in what proportion. Most importantly it will show you how incorporating essential and critical foods to your diet can be enjoyable, fun and much easier than you may think. This book can literally change your life.
About the authors: Richard Béliveau is professor at the Faculty of Medicine of the University of Montreal and is a leading figure in cancer prevention and treatment. Denis Gingras is a researcher in oncology at the Sainte-Justine Hospital for children in Montreal.
