Infos

Serious inconsistencies and scientific gaps plague current dietary recommendations, especially when it comes to cancer. Moreover, these recommendations crash head on with many traditional, ethnic, and cultural practices around the world. Until we openly address what led to these recommendations, the overwhelming impact of philosophical and religious beliefs over science, and the fatal inconsistencies that lie within, we will be unable to have a candid conversation about what we should eat to fight cancer. Leonardo's Legacy is a first attempt to start this conversation."e;Dr. Champ's book weaves together a fascinating family history with the shifting science of how diet and cancer are related. Add a foray into the roots of dietary ideologies buried in the teachings of Plato and you have a provocative meditation on why we believe the - sometimes foolish - things we do about food and health. It is a book that should appeal to clinicians, researchers, and anyone interested in eating wisely."e;??-Adele Hite, PhD, MPH, RDN
