Before we start this review, I have been told that I am a harsh critic.
I believe this is a great book for people with limited knowledge of the topic. I have personally never experienced cancer. In fact, none of my friends or family have. I’m very thankful for that. But I felt that there were few exciting sections to me. I’m not sure if this is personal to me.
I’d also like to note that, while Walter Willett has made great discoveries, he has time and time again been proven wrong in his nutritional suggestions. He has a strong idea of how the body system works, but limited knowledge on day to day foods and connection to the system. I personally am skeptical of him and his work. Someone I know asked him directly about carbohydrates, and he could not properly categorize carbohydrates identified.
Great starter book. It kept my attention 2/3 of the time. I’m interested in continuing on this topic. Perhaps this book was just not for me, and I would still recommend it. I’m going to ask my partner, who has limited knowledge on cancer, to read it.

A great NM Christmas Tale with a story on the origins of a NM tradition
if you have had cancer, if you currently have cancer, if you know someone who has cancer, read this book.
if none of those things apply to you, read this book anyway.
this book was incredible, insightful, informative, and encouraging. nobody is immune to cancer, yet our bodies have the natural ability to prevent and heal if we take personal responsibility for our health.

3.5⭐️ Overall, a good read and includes knowledge everyone should have. Although, I think it is a bit dated by now with much more research on several of what he mentioned. Additionally, I think other books cover these topics better so I didn’t learn as many new things as I hoped. I did just go out and buy green tea though so that is a positive change and learning for me!
Super quirky short essays? stories? musings? drivel that are likely to make one smirk, chuckle, or smile. Light, entertaining, imaginative. Probably wouldn't get published by anyone who didn't already have a famous name. However, that doesn't mean this is garbage, just that it wouldn't be the kind of thing a publisher would take a chance on with a "nobody." I've read other Steve Martin work, and he's a good writer. Pick up this for some nonsensical bedtime reading. Worked for me!
This is a book that everyone should read, cancer or no cancer. It outlines what foods we should be eating and what foods we should be avoiding. It is written by a doctor who discovered he had brain cancer while conducting his own research. I highly recommend this book!
This was a lot of fun. I think the Guardians of the Galaxy is my new favorite team. Love Rocket Raccoon..."Blam. Murdered another one."
I read this book when I found out that my sister was diagnosed with cancer. I wanted to learn as much as I can about cancer so that I could understand what she is going through. This book is amazing. Not only does it give a break down on a cellular lever as to what cancer really is (and yes, those chapters can get a little dry and boring), but the book gave a very good overall descriptions of different treatments. And who knew that certain foods actually FEED cancer cells. Scary...
