description: The mortality rate from cancer hasn't changed in 60 years despite the billions invested to find a cure. Avoiding Cancer One Day At A Time provides solid, practical advice for preventing cancer by avoiding carcinogens and implementing lifestyle/dietary practices that modify cancer causing factors. Combining their experience in family medicine and epidemiology with their passion for disease prevention, the authors provide the most up to date and effective advice for preventing cancer from developing in ourselves and our loved ones. Many "how to" examples for preventing cancer by being environmentally aware, avoiding infections, living the proper lifestyle and getting the proper nutrition are provided. Chapter by chapter summaries and listings of the latest cancer prevention web sites are great references. Worksheets assist readers in implementing the advice in very tangible ways, and the recipe collection of cancer avoiding meals is a winner! "An empowering book from the first page. Health principles and the best in sound research. It will change how you live with simple graces such as removing your shoes, pleasing your body with good taste, keeping yourself environmentally conscious, and relationally wise. Health care from a preventative perspective we all need." -- Gwen MacDonald, M.D., Owner and President of Pediatrics Plus Family "Something for everyone. Each chapter sparked my interest and inspired me to read more. This book covers the spectrum of cancer prevention, and the depth of writing, index and resources enable anyone to find the specific information they're interested in." -- Amy Casey-Paal MPH, Epidemiologist, Minnesota Department of Health Cancer Control Section
