Breast Cancer: Reduce Your Risk with Foods You Love
In an elegantly simple and personal style, Dr. Robert Pendergrast has wrapped a wealth of information into Breast Cancer: Reduce Your Risk with Foods You Love. His message is the same one I have been teaching for years: Nutrition is the key to disease prevention. If all women were to follow this guide to optimum breast health, it would mark a turning point in the war on breast cancer, from treatment to primary prevention. I will recommend this book to patients, colleagues, and friends. --Andrew Weil, MD. author of Eating Well for Optimum Health, Healthy Aging, Founder/Director of the Arizona Center for Integrative MedicineCorrectly noting that unfortunately, nutritional illiteracy is still commonplace among doctors, Robert Pendergrast immediately joins the ranks of the literati with Breast Cancer: Reduce Your Risk with Foods You Love. This easily accessible gem will become an invaluable resource not only for women but for the men and children in their lives because it offers sane nutritional information that will likely reduce the risk of other malignancies as well. This book will find its place right between Foods That Fight Cancer and The Cancer-Fighting Kitchen on my office bookshelf, readily available to recommend to all the patients that I counsel. Thank you, Dr. Pendergrast, for presenting such a wealth of information in a practical guidebook so easy to digest and absorb! --Donald I. Abrams, MD. Chief, Hematology-Oncology, San Francisco General HospitalLet thy medicine be thy food and thy food be thy medicine is perhaps even truer today than when it was coined by Hippocrates more than 2000 years ago. The relationship between diet and cancer is an important one, and women in particular, want to know what they can do to reduce their risk. Taking information that is often confusing and contradictory, Dr. Robert Pendergrast has written a book that is practical, highly informative and easy to understand. Any woman who is looking to give herself an edge against cancer should read this book. --Tieraona Low Dog, M.D., editor, Integrative Women's Health.
