Product Description
Prostate cancer is now the most common nonskin cancer among men in the United States. In 2005 alone, 250,000 new cases were diagnosed, and that number is certain to rise with each passing year. No one is more aware of this than David Ricketts, experienced cookbook author and recent prostate cancer survivor.Shortly after surgery and radiation treatments, Ricketts began to research food and lifestyle changes that might inhibit the likelihood of prostate cancer as well as its progression. The result is this uniquely specific cookbook, which takes full advantage of foods thought to fight prostate cancer while eliminating those believed to contribute to the disease. Eat to Beat Prostate Cancer Cookbook features more than 200 delicious recipes for everything from snacks, sandwiches, and drinks to main-course dishes-all foods that will appeal to the entire family. This tremendously useful book also benefits from the author's firsthand experience, as he offers insight into what to expect regarding diagnosis and treatment of prostate cancer, as well as practical advice for making the transition to healthier cooking, smarter eating, and a longer life. |

Extremely helpful! by Mrs. Doglover (Baton Rouge, LA)  5 Stars
April 22, 2009
David Ricketts writes in such a manner that this book is not your ordinary cookbook. He is entertaining and gives first-hand recommendations for healthy, yet filling and delicious, eating and recipes. I found it extremely helpful in planning snacks and meals for my husband. I continue to reference it for meal planning.

Just OK by cooking grandma (Ga.)  2 Stars

What can I say, it is just OK. Alot of things if you aren't experimental on ingredients you won't use this cookbook. I would not buy again.

Easy Everyday Recipes for a TOO Busy Person by D. SEID (New York, NY USA) 5 Stars
March 20, 2008
As a aging single man still on a heavy urban work schedule who normally opted to eat out, this book truly helped me when I decided that at my age, I had a prostate cancer risk and I needed to watch my diet. The only way for me to get a handle of what I was putting in my mouth was to try to prepare more of my meals. This would be a challenge with all the work I have during the day but this book made the challenge much easier because many of the meals in the book are simple adaptations of standard dishes. I now feel so less gorged than when I ate out. In fact I have more sustained energy with balance nuitients. I don't get that low slump after eating the heavy carb and fat dishes one gets eating out. The recipe portions are reasonable and I'm certain I can avoid the late middle age spread that so many of my fellow countrymen suffer from. I can continue to easily get down the aisle and still fit into a economy middle airplane seat. My doctor and I are happy my cholesterol went down a bit, too.

Helping treatment with nutrition and excellent recipes by J. levy (stuart, fl) 5 Stars
September 19, 2007
The word "cancer" is possibly one of the most fearful one can hear. Along with good medical treatment, it is so useful to do something yourself to help. Good, tasty, nutritious meals are a very good start. This gem of a cookbook is a must. I heartily recommend it. The recipes are not complicated. I am not a "gourmet" cook. But they are easy and the ingredients can be found in most food stores and health food stores. I wish more physicians were inclined to stress nutrition along with proper medication, but this is something you can do yourself. By all means, get this book!

Highly Recommended! by Susan McQuillan (New York, New York) 5 Stars
April 24, 2007
David Ricketts wrote this book because he developed prostate cancer; I cook from it because it's chockful of fabulous tasting, easy-to-prepare, and super-nutritious recipes. And because, as a nutritionist, I know that basing a diet on the foods featured in this book is a smart choice, not only for men who are trying to beat prostate cancer, but for anyone who is striving to stay healthy.
