I am a RHN, and am so pleased to see a Canadian-based medical research team acknowledge what we've been preaching for a long time now. What you put into your mouth can [and does] have a profound effect on your overall health and put you at risk for the development of various cancers and other chronic diseases. This book, plus it's sister cookbook should be required reading for everyone. It's time for the public to take responsibility for their own health and the health of future generations by getting back to eating whole foods and leaving processed and packaged foods on the shelf, as very few have any place in a healthy diet.

This is a beautifully designed book with stunning full-colour illustrations. It is easy to read and has a vast amount of groundbreaking information about the chemistry of food and its relation to cancer. This book is very detailed with a lot of technical information but it is well worth wading through.

I highly recommend this book to anyone who wishes to eat healthy. The explanations are technical but the authors have given lots of analogies and examples to elucidate the medical terms.

Whether you are considering controlling cancer, preventng cancer, losing weight, preventing age related diseases such as diabetes, heart problems,etc, this is an excellent source to understand all other future readings.

I have read other health books and I put this at the top of my list.

This book is true to its title. It is a book about preventing cancer by using the foods that are proven to reduce the risk of cancer. It is based on a research performed by the author at University of Montreal. The author does not suggest any supplements but he focuses on foods containing well defined active anticancerous molecules. The book is very specific and goal oriented. Take the time to read the book if you want to prevent yourself from this terrible disease. The book is easy to read, and understand with a load of practical information. Another great book in this category is "Cure the Incurable".

This is a life-altering book. Anyone interested in improving their health needs to read it! It's a little technical, but in an era of "quick fixes" and fad-diets, I found it refreshing to read a book based on extensive research and empirical scientific data. Most encouraging is that the foods that have been shown to be so helpful to improving our ability to defend against cancer are good too - berries, tomatoes, cruciferous veggies & citrus fruits to name a few. Read this book - your health and the health of our nation will improve as a result!
