Reader Reviews
This review is from: The Detox Revolution : A Powerful New Program for Boosting Your Body's Ability to Fight Cancer and Other Diseases (Hardcover) Finally, I think someone has gotten through to me to get me to eat healthier. The motivation? Avoiding cancer and other diseases. Dr. Slaga breaks it down simply: some foods cause cancer, while others help prevent it. Which would you rather eat? He itemizes the different vitamins, minerals, supplements etc. that fight disease, and explains how they work within the body to do so. He provides a list of "super foods," the foods that are the absolute best for you, so you can concentrate on those if you'd like. And he provides a bunch of recipes incorporating his recommended foods so you can work them into your lifestyle. This is not a diet book! This is a book that can help you live a healthier and longer life, if you just listen to Dr. Slaga's message. I can't recommend this book highly enough. Since I read this book, I have been incorporating items like soy, flaxseed oil, fish oil, nuts and dried fruits, etc., into my diet, and I look forward to reaping the results.
