Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA)
It has long been known and clinically demonstrated that food has a direct link to health, and that some foods are not only nutritious for the human body, they are also medical and remedial. In “The Anti-Cancer Cookbook: How To Cut Your Risk With the Most Powerful, Cancer-Fighting Foods”, Dr. Julia B. Greer has compiled more than 200 specific recipes featuring ingredients that have a particular relevance for fighting various forms of cancer. The step-by-step instructions for each individual recipe are in accordance with cooking methods that protect the anti-cancer properties of the ingredients. Of special note is the cogent, practical, ‘real-world’ advice for making healthy menu choices when dining out. From Chilled Apple Oatmeal; Red Pepper Hummus; Maple-Pecan Broccoli; and Newport Beach Turkey Pasta Salad; to Portobello Tofu Tacos; Mahi Mahi with Citrus Sauces and Black Beans; Spice-Rubbed Filet Mignon with Grilled Tomatoes; and Chocolate Chocolate-Chip Zucchini Brownies, “The Anti-Cancer Cookbook” is a veritable cornucopia of dishes suitable for every dining occasion and highly recommended for anyone having to prepare meals with cancer prevention and treatment in mind. br /

Bagels and Cream Cheese? No Way! October 17, 2008

Dr. Greer offers tastey tidbits to tempt your palate. And better still, she helps you fight off the Big C. She’s no Emeril (“Bam!”…thank heavens) but she does offer many helpful suggestions that can really be beneficial to your lifespan. br / This is not the usual lots-of-butter-and cream richness found in some quarters, nor is it the ascetic “bean-sprouts-and-hope” offered by others. Instead, it is sensible, research-based suggestions and recipes that can help save your life. While helping make your life at the table worth living. br / My only reservation is that I keep recalling the old saying, “Never trust a skinny chef,” but since the intent is to keep you healthy, rather than provide cutting edge haute cuisine, I’ll give her the benefit of the doubt. br / I’d dine happily with Dr. Julia Greer any day.

Delicious and healthy at the same time October 15, 2008

Dr. Julia Greer’s Anti-Cancer Cookbook is filled with new, great recipes. My husband loved the salads, new dressings (at last) and of course, the desserts! With these new healthy recipes I plan to keep him longer! Nancy F.B.
