With the huge number of studies on nutrition and cancer available, it's impossible for a person to sort through them all to come up with practical recommendations. Now, Dr. David Khayat, a world-renowned oncologist, has done that hard work for you.
In this international bestseller, Dr. Khayat provides easy-to-follow―and often surprising―guidelines on what are now known to be the foods most likely to reduce the risk of cancer. For those of a scientific bent, he explains what cancer is and how it develops. Bringing together his own research with that of other major cancer specialists, he breaks down what the studies mean, which ones provide the most solid evidence, and how to use their results in your and your family’s diet.
Structured by the major food groups―as well as supplements, beverages, and exercise―The Anticancer Diet may surprise you by not disparaging red meat but alerting you to find out the source of your fish and suggesting sole over salmon. While highly recommending commercial pomegranate juice, it cautions people with fair hair and eyes against drinking orange juice. What stage of life a person is at will also affect what they should consume. Pregnant women, older women, men, and children may process foods differently.
With numerous easy-to-read charts and tables along with a comprehensive food list at the back of the book, this accessible, user-friendly guide helps readers realize the power in their everyday choices.

Review
David Khayat's joy of life and positive outlook come through in this very straightforward and easy-to-read summary of cancer, foods, and recommendations. He makes it possible for us to make our own choices based on the scientific and practical information he has written in this book. One feels as if a good friend is having a conversation with you to help you understandthese very complex issues and also has your best interests at heart. I highly recommend this informative and well-referenced book about the journey we all have in life. --Sandra M. Swain, MD, medical director, Washington Cancer Institute"

With some tweaks, it'd be an ideal diet reference
By M. L Lamendola
For the typical American on the typical "let's get sick" diet, this book is a "must read." But it's not, despite the author's best intentions, 100% correct. With a few adjustments, however, it becomes an ideal reference. Dr. Khayat's writing style is highly accessible, and he makes every effort to be clear. His honesty and integrity are also important to him, and this shows in his writing.
Dr. Khayat brings a mix of sound nutritional advice and poor nutritional advice, in this book. For example, he is adamant about drinking a particular fruit juice. Ask an endocrinologist about that; these experts on what happens when you rapidly ingest sugar in liquid form won't even debate any alleged health benefits from fruit juice. They say don't touch the stuff, no matter what it might hold in health benefits because those will cost you in other, serious health deficits.
He advocates drinking cow's milk (except for men over 50). He is apparently unaware that the factory farmed cows who produce this milk all have mastitis. They are given antibiotics for this, which you drink in the milk along with the pus their infected mammaries pass into the milk. There are many reasons to not drink milk (other than organic milk). In his defense, things are done differently in France where his nutritionist resides.
I'm not a doctor of any sort, but I haven't been sick since 1971 despite having an immune disorder from birth (cured in my 50s, after my own research and blood tests confirm this). The difference is that at a very early age I took "you are what you eat" very seriously. That has really paid off.
Among his sound nutritional advice Dr. Khayat is very big on turmeric. He even mentioned combining it with pepper, something that multiplies (not merely adds) the cancer-killing effects of both spices. He did not mention that not only can you add ground turmeric to foods (which I do), but you can also consume turmeric capsules (which I do). He did mention to add it to "everything," which is good advice because if you're eating six meals a day you can intake turmeric six times (if you're eating only three meals a day, you need to assess your eating habits).
Generally where he's right is in his advocacy of eating many different fruits and vegetables and taking care how you prepare your foods. Generally where he's wrong is his misunderstanding of the frankengrains and their pernicious effects on health in general. If you combine this book with an authoritative book (or documentary) on the poisons we call "wheat" (it's not really wheat) and "corn" today, plus avoid fruit juices, you'll greatly reduce your cancer risk. Far, far more than he claims is possible.
And that brings me to another point. He gives great advice, except as noted. But he goes on, late in the book, to minimize the cancer-fighting effects of a sensible diet. He says a 50% reduction in cancer risk from food choices alone is absurd. He's wrong about that.
Here's why. About the only thing within your control is what you put into your mouth. You can not only reduce your self-inflicted risks to zero by eliminating toxic "food" from your diet, you can use real food to reduce risks that come from other sources.
If you look at the threshold a given cocktails of risks must add up to for the total risk to become serious, it's well above zero. We can all agree on that. The exact number varies by individual.
It depends upon your genetics, what's in your air and water, how you handle stress, what you wash your clothes in, and many other variables. It's the risk above this threshold that matters. If your threshold is 80% and diet accounts for 30% of risk, guess what? You can reduce your cancer risk to zero. It will remain zero until your threshold changes or some other risk factor increases so much your diet accounts for less than 20% (or some combination of the two).
We know there's a threshold, because in a given population in a given location most risk factors are identical. Some people get cancer, some don't. Only genetics and personal choices (in food, household cleaners, fabrics worn, etc.) can account for the difference. The people who don't get cancer might all have superior genetics to those who don't, but that is truly stretching things to say that's the reason. Personal choices must be at play, and common sense tells us that food is the most important of these choices (you are made of the food you eat).
Also, go to the grocery store and try this experiment. First, understand that how a body looks on the outside tells you a great deal about how well it's working on the inside. We gage this all the time; the ability to gage this is wired into our genes.
Step 1. Look for fat people (it won't be hard to find them). Then look in their shopping carts. You will invariably find most of what they are buying is a processed wheat product and you are unlikely to see any vegetables other than iceberg lettuce. They'll have sodas and nearly everything they buy comes in a can (Dr. Khayat also gives canned vegetables kudos, which is wrong unless you don't mind eating lead and aluminum), bottle, box, or other container. Common health advice is "read the label" but if it comes in something with a label on it, that's your first clue it's probably unsafe to eat.
Step 2. OK, now that you see how fat people eat, look for people with beautiful bodies and nice skin. The woman whose figure does Spandex proud or the guy whose chest is 14 inches bigger around than his waist. What is in their carts? Almost NOTHING that you find in the fat people carts. What you see in their carts came mostly from the produce aisle. And they have traditional oats instead of instant oats, no sodas, no snack cakes, etc.
Step 3. Go visit the produce aisle, and look at the people shopping there. Then go look at the people shopping in the snack aisle where the chips and soda are. This also speaks volumes on the "does food matter very much" non-question. It does matter. You are what you eat.
Dr. Khayat is highly credentialed. After having been suitably impressed by his Preface, I had higher hopes for this book. I think he needs to revise it, after carefully re-reading his own statement in the Introduction: "The truth is that our eating habits, in the broadest sense, are in fact responsible for many of the cancers we get!"
Exactly. And he should have hammered this point repeatedly instead of telling us at the end it hardly matters. Perhaps he "dialed down" expectations in response to the idiots and psychopaths who peddle hope with crazy diets, worthless (or even harmful) supplements (there are good supplements, too), and "treatments" that have no effect or that amount to slow torture.
He's correct that eating sensibly does not provide iron-clad protection; something can always enter the picture to change the normal equation such that your food can't balance it anymore. But to say that eating sensibly is going to give you only a little protection is grossly mistaken.
In a sense, his conclusion is correct because of the fact that (as he pointed out) cancers take a long time to grow from one single defective cell into a dangerous tumor. So if you have been eating from the snack and soda aisle for twenty years and then suddenly decide to eat sensibly you aren't going to be at 100% risk reduction in terms of getting a tumor. You've done the "cancer cell growing" thing for many years. It will take many more years before the results of that fade into nothing. But that is no reason not to start today. In fact, it makes starting today even more urgent.
Here is my suggestion for what to do with this book. First, buy and read the book. But remember that fruit juice is out, along with wheat products. Next, go through your pantry and refrigerator and toss out anything that's processed. Don't give it away to the poor; it's poison, so toss it. Chips, soda, beer, pizza, any "instant" foods, anything that's processed. If you have nothing left after this, that means you've been growing cancer cells and ingesting toxins that affect you in other ways than cancer risk.
Next, go to the grocery store and shop only in the produce aisle. After you get what you want, pick up whole grain rice and some dry beans (for the protein you'll need). Also buy several dozen eggs (Dr. Khayat recommends eggs, and he is quite right to do so). Buy any spices you want, making sure to buy plenty of turmeric. Eat only these foods for several months; for beverages, only green tea, coffee, or water. After you've given your body a few months of this, then re-read this book and see what foods you want to add into your diet. Given what's available on this "strict" regimen, you might not want to add anything. But this book is a great guide if you do (just no fruit juices or frankengrains).
The bottom line is you need to control and reduce as many risk factors as you can. It is possible to make "all good" food choices; I know, because I have been doing that for decades. It's not hard at all.
Making good food choices will just about eliminate your chances of getting any disease, including cancer. Doing that also has a very positive effect on your appearance. And there is also something to be said for enjoying the thousands of fantastic flavors in real food rather than limiting yourself to the two dominant flavors in the typical American diet: processed grain (sugars) and rancid fats.
The text runs 193 pages. There's a useful appendix that lists foods with their anti-cancer benefits or risks, followed by a glossary and a list of abbreviations. This book is well-researched; in addition to the subject matter experts who contributed, it has 29 pages of notes. These are followed by an extensive index. The index is followed by a 21-page resource called "Your Anti-Cancer Checklist."

Read with a fact checker
By Scott Rae
This would not be my first choice as an anti-cancer diet book. That choice would be Richard Beliveau's FOODS TO FIGHT CANCER. Beliveau's work is studying food compounds that show ant-cancer activity. His book has information that Khayat's doesn' t such as how long to brew green tea to maximize the extraction of catechins ( 10 minutes is much better than 3 minutes). Also, some green teas have much more EGCG than others. Beliveau lists them.. Beliveau says that there is a synergistic effect between EGCG and curcumin -- another anti-cancer food.
When is comes to broccoli Beliveau tells how sulforaphane is created when broccoli is chewed or lightly cooked (sulforaphane is destroyed by normal cooking). Beliveau also states that broccoli sprouts contain as much as 100 times as much sulforaphane as mature broccoli. BTW, broccoli sprouts are fairly easy to grow in an EasySrouter(TM) available along with broccoli seed from the Sprout People. My favorite book on sprouting is GARDENS AT OUR FINGERTIPS by Gene Monson available from Sproutamo. I mention this because there is currently a clinincal trial looking at sulforaphane and cancer. Also, there is another synergistic effect between sulforaphane and lycopene which is available from cooked tomatoes. Khayat doesn't mention these facts either.
Khayat does cover some topics that Beliveau doesn't such as drinking water and sweeteners. Beliveau's book was written before the pomegranate became an anti-cancer darling for some such as Khayat who says it is great -- drink as much pomegranate juice as you would like. I think the jury is still out on pomegranate. One problem with pomegranate juice is that it has a lot of sugar -- 36 grams in 8 ounces (about 240 ml). But, from the way Khayat writes he sees nothing wrong with sugar. Others point out that cancers need glucose to grow.
I'm not sure if Khayat is cherry picking the studies he chooses to cite or not. He is set against fasting for instance (in fairness to Khayat it is not standard care), but if you do an internet search on "fasting chemotherapy" or "fasting and cancer" you can find articles saying that fasting seems to improve the effectiveness of chemotherapy and radiation and can decrease some of the side effect of chemotherapy.
Khayat is an interesting read. I am now glad that my daughter doesn't drink the tap water in San Diego, CA.

A Book About Cancer, Not Just Diet.
By George Steeg
"The Anti-cancer Diet" is much more than a diet book. About the first third is a primer on cancer and what we know about its causes. It concludes with discussions of the risks and benefits associated with common food groups. The second third covers cooking methods, supplements, activities and anti-cancer advice. The final third contains useful food tables, glossary, references, index, and a convenient tabular summary of the content in the first two-thirds.
Anyone looking for one book about cancer that emphasizes life-style risks and benefits including food choices, should own and read this book. Smokers must take a deep breath, buy the book, and take Khayat's advice: STOP SMOKING!
Full Disclosure: I'm not a patient. I've been a primary caregiver for two wives and for more than two decades. One wife succumbed to a rare cancer (less than U.S. 20,000 cases/year, no effective chemotherapy). My current wife has dodged three cancer bullets with surgery; the last one also rare. We're waiting and watching for aftermath of bullet #3.
The subject diet book by Khayat, and the recipe book "Cooking through Cancer" bought at the same time are my first cancer books. They came to our attention in reviews in The Washington Post. Before these books I learned about cancer from our doctors, from Internet resources going back to the bulletin-boards before chat rooms and social media, from local support groups and from medical-institution publications. I'm not a medical professional; I'm an engineer.
