Author Biography: Bob Arnot

Book Synopsis

Here is a common-sense and exciting new plan to protect men against prostate cancer. The foods men eat can have a profound influence on whether or not they get clinical prostate cancer. Arnot describes these foods and how we can use them as part of a sensible and delicious eating program. He bases his menus on the cuisines from other cultures where the incidence of prostate cancer is dramatically less than in the U.S. Includes: delicious recipes, advice on eating out, stress-busting techniques, fitness programs, a self-test for assessing your own risk, and other prostate cancer-fighting strategies such as promising new drugs and supplements.
