The newly published, Avoiding Cancer One Day At A Time- Practical Advice For Preventing Cancer, was a disappointing read for me. That is probably a bit unfair. It is just so basic. Avoid tobacco. Test for radon. Don't gain too much weight. Not exactly ground breaking stuff! Yet the book offers a number of positives, including detailed lists of household chemicals alongside safer, natural alternatives. The text is nothing special. But the charts, graphs and statistics are amazing. Doctor Lynne Eldridge and her brother David Borgeson have written a book that is not strong from a literary or stylistic perspective, but it offers flashes of brilliance and insight if you take the time to look. For example, I didn't realize that crushed and cooked tomatoes release more lycopene than raw tomatoes, making tomato sauces an ideal super-food for men that want to prevent prostate cancer. Who knew? Bring on the pasta!
Feel good and keep smiling! Pat
