Cancer Prevention - Stop Your Child From Getting Cancer

Can you lessen the chance of your child getting cancer by refusing to let her eat hot dogs, potato chips and grilled cheese sandwiches? Dr. Joel Fuhrman, author of "Disease-Proof Your Child," seems to think so.

Fuhrman proposes that a childhood diet centered on whole foods, fruits and vegetables, at the exclusion of refined and processed foods, animal fats and saturated fats, will protect against adult diabetes, cardiovascular disease and even cancer.

A groundbreaking book that explains the connection between nutrition and disease - including cancer prevention. Shows parents how to keep their children healthy by feeding them right.

In this invaluable resource, featuring easy-toprepare, tasty recipes, Dr. Joel Fuhrman explains how cuttingedge nutritional science can be brought to the family table with amazing results.

Customer Reviews

Rating 4 - What about soy allergies?

I found this book to be a good read, and generally helpful.
HOWEVER, his fairly liberal use of soy milk is definitely not helpful to my family. My daughter is allergic, and even if she was not I don't feel comfortable giving a child much soy at all. He discourages the use of rice milk, so I'm assuming he'd advocate for the replacement of almond milk?  Regardless, soy is difficult for many people to digest, and us a common allergen, and so I'm perplexed by his dependency on it when it comes to his recipes.

Rating 5 - Fuel the Revolution

This book will set you straight about what is healthy and what is not.  All other nutrition advice that I have come across is weak and ineffective.  I am buying this book as well as Eat to Live for everyone I know and meet; month by month as I can afford.  Do the same for there is no gift comparable to the gift of health.

Rating 5 - The Greatest Diet on Earth

This is one book that no parent(s) or "potential" parent(s) should be without. It talks about "to be" mothers and the foods they eat can affect their child's development before they are even conceived. Visit DrFuhrman.com and DiseaseProof.com for tons of recipes and podcasts on how to feed your children.

I have recommended this book more than any other book in my life ...

5 - Best Health Book -  Wish There Were More Recipes

This book is the best health book that I have yet to read, and I am only halfway through it. It is a quick read and very informative. I only wish there were more recipes! Even if you don't have kids, this is an awesome book!

5 - Every Parent Needs to Read This Book

Disease-Proof Your Child does two things no other book has ever done. First, it clearly and persuasively presents scientific research that shows what our children eat now will more or less determine their risk of developing cancer and other killer diseases as adults. After reading the first few pages, you will never again view sodas, donuts, fries, pizzas, candies and other "All-American" junk foods as innocent again.

Allowing and encouraging our kids to eat this garbage on a regular basis is excusable only when we don't know what we're doing. Now that Dr. Fuhrman has exposed the truth - we can cause or prevent 99% of all diseases by what we eat - no parent who reads this book will be able to allow their child to develop "cancer on the installment plan" through malnutrition. And if you're not into long-term thinking, Dr. Fuhrman also demonstrates the link between the Standard American Diet and the national epidemics of childhood asthma, ear infections, colds, flus, and allergies. ...

The second thing this book does that no other has: it provides tools and a roadmap and a philosophy for transitioning your family to a healthy diet. Remember paint by numbers? This is the diet transition equivalent. From practical ideas (the "refrigerator advertisements" is a wonderful example) to over 50 recipes ("string beans and almost dust" will blow you away with its simplicity and how much your kids will love it) to lists of delicious "non-recipe snacks" that ensure you'll always have healthy alternatives to junk food - Disease-Proof Your Child is a well-written and well thought out "operations manual" to your most important job as a parent: setting your child up for a lifetime of health and happiness.
