Introduction
For decades, breast cancer has stood alone among major diseases, because its victims lacked even a single practical preventive measure with which to protect themselves. In most epidemics, we've had the power to defend ourselves: vaccines for the flu

Book Description

From one of the most visible and highly respected figures in medical journalism comes a book that can literally save lives.

During the past several years, doctors at leading institutions across the nation have been investigating the relationship between breast cancer and diet. The recent flood of medical studies confirm that what a woman eats can have a dramatic impact on whether or not she contracts the disease. In The Breast Cancer Prevention Diet, Dr. Bob Arnot, in his unique, expert fashion, has synthesized this research into an eating program that finally enables women to fight back.

The Breast Cancer Prevention Diet is designed with all women in mind; whether you want to guard yourself against the onset of breast cancer, or protect yourself from recurrence, the diet offers valuable information that will address your particular needs, including plans for:

• women with high estrogen, who are therefore at a higher risk
• postmenopausal women with lower estrogen levels
• breast cancer survivors
• women with a familial history of breast cancer
• young women who want to take precautionary measures

Back again with his simple yet enormously powerful premise, Dr. Arnot encourages you to think of foods as drugs - without the side effects. Although you can't single out specific foods or toxins that initiate breast cancer, you can still take charge of your diet - and in the long run, your life. There are certain foods that can significantly decrease your risk. With a clear overview of the biology of the breast and information about the way in which cancer spreads, Dr. Arnot offers helpful, practical guidelines that will allow you to incorporate these powerful foods into your diet. The Breast Cancer Prevention Diet is easy to follow, complete with delicious menu suggestions, cooking techniques, and the general information women need to make significant dietary choices that could ultimately save their lives.
