Could you send me the source for the information? I know of a little kid who is fighting cancer.

The book is called Anticancer by Dr. David Servan-Schreiber. He is an MD and Ph.D. and a cancer survivor. The book is a pretty quick read and comes equipped with an appendix for quick reference. What I can tell you up front is: organic, grass fed meat, poultry, dairy, eggs (won’t get omega-3’s w/ reg. meat), organic veg and fruit when available (he’s not so much a stickler on this), whole grains, no sugar or sugar subs, no hydrogenated or partially hydrogenated oils (you must read ingredients on nutritional label). Also, since inflamation causes cancer cells to produce tumors and stress causes adrenaline and cortisol to inflame, he insists on counseling and various forms of relaxation to deal with stress. I’m greatly paraphrasing here, but get the book. It is only $16 at amazon.com and I bought several copies and gave them as Easter gifts to my parents and in-laws. It is really an eye-opener, and all of his info is footnoted so you can go directly to the source. He is not trying to sell snake oil. Actually, he’s not trying to sell anything.
