A practical cookbook providing information about the links between diet and cancer for sufferers, carers and friends. It clearly explains what is best to eat, during and after treatment, and includes recipes which have been carefully designed for cancer patients. As well as providing recipes for a balanced and healthy diet, the authors look at: specific nutrients and their relation to cancer; the risks of non-nutrients such as caffeine and additives; how to cope with possible weight loss, swallowing difficulties and other problems associated with cancer treatment; and the role of complementary diets for those on the road to recovery, including the Bristol diet and macrobiotics.
