Description: With often contradictory reports in the press all the time about the role certain foods play in cancer (not all of them substantiated by plausible research studies), it is especially confusing for those diagnosed or at a higher risk of breast cancer to understand how they can take an active role in treatment and prevention through diet and lifestyle.  Pioneering consultant breast cancer specialist Professor Mohammed Keshtgar makes it simple with The Breast Cancer Cookbook. Based on his extensive patient experience and research, the book offers advice and over 100 inviting recipes especially created to take a healthy, balanced approach against breast cancer, using only the real evidence on the roles of foods such as dietary fats, sugar, carbs, dairy, meat, soy and caffeine.  The book also offers recipes to help patients going through cancer treatment combat side effects, such as lethargy, loss of appetite, changes in taste sensation and soreness of mouth.
