New York, NY, U.S.A.: Little Brown & Company, 1998. Hard Cover. Near Fine/Fine. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. For several years now, doctors at leading institutions -- from Harvard to UCLA to the National Cancer Institute -- have been discovering that diet has a dramatic effect on breast cancer. In The Breast Cancer Prevention Diet, the author puts the pieces of this extraordinary puzzle together to give us a diet so powerful that it is capable of quickly and effectively changing the actual structure of the breast and altering the flow of those hormones that induce breast cancer. Dr. Arnot provides a full account of the foods that cause breast cancer as well as the foods that prevent it. He then shapes this cutting-edge information into three diets: Standard (for women who have not had breast cancer), Advanced (for woman who have suffered from breast cancer), and Long Term (for younger women who want to minimize the likelihood of developing breast cancer). The diets are balanced, delicious, and have many beneficial side effects, from preventing heart disease to building stronger bones to losing weight. This is a book that every woman -- regardless of age or medical history -- should own. 258 pages. Bottom of spine is bumped. Some pages have underlining in pencil..
