Synopsis

When national food writer and cookbook author David Ricketts was diagnosed with prostate cancer in 2001, he became a member of the "reluctant brotherhood" forced to make life-altering decisions to beat this life-threatening disease. After surgery, Ricketts used his journalistic skills to research the food and lifestyle changes that can help prevent and slow the growth of prostate cancer, which is expected to affect a record 250,000 men in 2005. The result is "Eat to Beat Prostate Cancer Cookbook", an everyday eating guide for guys that optimizes prostate cancer-fighting foods and eliminates foods believed to contribute to cancer. The book features 200 recipes from snacks, drinks, and sandwiches to main course meals. Ricketts' personal experience brings a human and supportive "been there" perspective to a health problem that is emerging as the "disease of the moment" as the PSA, a simple blood test, leads to early diagnosis in younger men.
