Best of the best
This book is wonderful, and the recipes are so tasty. If you want to lace baked goods with soy, buy this book. Your kids will love the great muffins, cookies, cakes and pies. The Apple Spice Cake is so good, you will never make it without soy again. It is amazing. I highly recommend this book.

Good but could be better
This cookbook was excellent at cutting out a lot of the fat and replacing those high fat items with tofu or other soy-based products.Unfortunately, I found a LOT of sugar to be in the recipes.I realize this book is entitled "Beyond Low Fat Baking..." thus indicating that it had cut back on the fat, and "...Cancer Fighting Foods For The Millennium" indicates the soy, but all that sugar is not healthy either.So many people have Type II Diabetes, and everyone in the US seems to be overweight, I wish she addressed this issue as well.

Scary but it didn't make me stop
Scary book but it didn't scare me into stopping. I only managed to quit when I got hold of a copy of Richard Craze's The Voice of Tobacco - now I don't smoke any more after thirty years of puffing that old devil tobacco. Cool book. ... Read more

Just buy this book!
Forget the miracle pills and diets and live longer!! Dr. Neal Pinckney's book makes it easy to understand why many of us are overweight and have health problems. There are no secrets here, just the truth about living well.

Great Book
This is a fantastic book written in a very informative manner. The recipes are good too. What I thought was most interesting is how the author explains how heart disease develops... the typical American diet startsbuilding plaque on the artery walls as early as the teen years! You will besurprised when you read this book and then you will understand why heartdisease is such a big problem in America. The diet in this book is the bestdiet I have come accross, not being able to easily loose weight myself. Butthis diet does it without hunger. I can't say enough about this advice. Ithas changed my life and the way I look at my health. I no longer feel likeI am a ticking time bomb that will eventually need a coronary bypassoperation ... an operation that has become very routine in America.

heart disease?Read this book to reverse it
Pinckney's book is easy to read and full of information and recipes. I teach aerobic exercise, and this is the ONLY book I recommend to my clients. A good book for those who want to learn to eat well but don't have much time for reading. ... Read more

Melanoma, P:revention, Detection and Treatment
This books is the best out there on melanoma. It has great photos, and the explanations are so easy to understand. It also makes the diagnosis a lot less scary with factual answers that seem caring.

Very Useful Book
This book was very useful in understanding melanoma. My mother had the disease and I have many moles that on occasion worry me. THe photos and text dispelled many of the myths I had heard about getting melanoma and now I know what to look for when I worry about a mole changing. I don't panic about my moles as much and now I'm armed to discuss anything with my doctor in an intelligent manner. ... Read more

Editorial Review

Research supports the contention that vitamin E appears to help prevent heart disease, boost the immune system, slow down Alzheimer's disease, decrease the risk of prostate cancer, keep HIV from developing into full-blown AIDS, and enhance male fertility--and this is just the beginning of the list of benefits, says author Andreas M. Papas. But it isn't enough to pop a multivitamin pill. You need to understand what form of the nutrient is best for you, and how much. Vitamin E is really eight different compounds. Synthetic supplements contain only one (alpha-tocopherol), while the whole "family" is important and can be found only in some natural supplements. Read more

Not for cancer prevention...
Sadly, Aveline Kushi has recently died - of cancer.Being that she was Japanese, the healthiest and longest lived people in the world, this doesn't really speak well for the diet. The Macrobiotic Way
Hi, This book "The Macrobiotic Cancer Prevention Cookbook" is very interesting, detailed and quite helpful for all who are following more healthful lifestyle. You will not find glossy photos of food in this cookbook, instead you will find incouragement for a healthy diet, cancer prevention guidelines,recipies for a seven day menu plan to get started, and the products and "how to" instructions for natural home remidies. All in all I think this book is really worth the time to study. ... Read more
