Product Description

If changing what you eat could keep you from getting cancer, wouldn't you do it?

Dr. Hatherill's Super Eight Food Groups are the foundation of a strategy that will help you create a cancer-busting regimen for yourself and your family. In this courageous book, Hatherill takes on the pharmaceutical and food industries to disclose dangers inherent in common foods like dairy and meat products, as well as over-the-counter supplements.

"In...humbler times people rarely got cancer...Heart disease was so rare that medical textbooks from the mid-to late 1800s failed to include it. Something has gone fundamentally wrong in present times, as heart disease and cancer have emerged as the two most vexing killers in affluent countries...This book can help you convert your diet into a defensive anticancer solution. Throughout these pages you will be given practical techniques for solving the health problems that arise from eating a Western diet. Eat to Beat Cancer has identified the most protective, beneficial foods from around the globe and placed them in one simple, straight-forward diet." --from the introduction

Customer Reviews

The only dietary guide you'll ever need
My copy is out on loan (as it often is) so I went on Amazon to get the publication details for including this book in the recommended reading section of my own new book, Younger by the Day (HarperSanFrancisco, December 2004). I was shocked to see only four reviews and that they weren't all 5 stars. This book is fabulous, truly the only guide you'll ever need for disease prevention, nutrition---even weight loss, since if you eat all the health plant foods Dr. Hatherill recommends, you'll lose weight while you protect yourself from cancer and other degenerative diseases. Not only is Eat to Beat Cancer comprehensive and packed with valuable information, it is useful and practical: you can take its ideas to the grocery store and the restaurant and use them in real life every day. When I first read this book three years ago, I typed up Dr. Hatherill's list of the 8 cancer-fighting food groups and put it on my refrigerator. To this day, I know what to include in my diet on a daily basis; so do my husband and daughter. Please: Do yourself a favor and buy this book. And I should buy another one---one for me, one as a loaner.

If You Want to Eat Better--Read This Book!
This is a wonderful Book. The Author clearly knows a great deal about diet, preventing cancer, and how to simply eat more sensibly--and importantly, he is able to convey this message in a clear and convincing way. Notably, he recommends the sorts of foods and preparation methods that are not only better in a health sense, but that are also quite tasty to boot. Since reading this book, I have adopted a better diet--Thank You, Dr. Hatherill!! I look forward to reading the next book you write on this subject . . . and hopefully, you will do so soon!

Extremely informative and motivating
I found this book not only informative, but easy enough for a layperson to understand so that you are motivated to embrace the theories. Reading this book has had a very positive impact on my eating habits in that I now incorporate soy milk and tofu into not only my diet every day, but also my husband's. I've also impacted the eating habits of relatives and friends who now practice good eating habits also because of this book. I highly recommend it to anyone who cares about not only living longer, but their quality of life.
