 Not for cancer prevention... September 26, 2002
4 out of 12 found this review helpful
Sadly, Aveline Kushi has recently died - of cancer. Being that she was Japanese, the healthiest and longest lived people in the world, this doesn't really speak well for the diet. This is a below average vegan cooking book, with a couple of really good recipes but no more. You may want it if you have strong medical reasons to stop eating meat, dairy, fruit and fresh (uncooked) vegetables. If you are not familiar with macrobiotics beware that it can easily become almost a religion, full of unproved, unscientific statements and has led people to sect-like behaviour. However, macrobiotics, when taken with common sense, have been known to help cancer patients, some say to the extent of "curing" them (althoug no one talks about the ones that have died of the various deficiencies that macrobiotics can easily create). Above all, follow your own instincts... and keep in touch with a trusted doctor!

Hi, This book "The Macrobiotic Cancer Prevention Cookbook" is very interesting, detailed and quite helpful for all who are following more healthful lifestyle. You will not find glossy photos of food in this cookbook, instead you will find incouragement for a healthy diet, cancer prevention guidelines, recipies for a seven day menu plan to get started, and the products and "how to" instructions for natural home remidies. All in all I think this book is really worth the time to study.
