"In this international bestseller, Dr. Khayat provides easy-to-follow--and often surprising--guidelines on what are now known to be the foods most likely to reduce the risk of cancer. For those of a scientific bent, he explains what cancer is and how it develops. Bringing together his own research with that of other major cancer specialists, he breaks down what the studies mean, which ones provide the most solid evidence, and how to use their results in your and your family's diet" --Amazon.com.
