My mom sent me this book over Christmas. Although I have read very far yet, the book is written in a very easy to understand manner, without all the highly technical stuff that laypersons normally don't really get. From the few chapters that I have read, I really like this woman and would love to be able to meet her sometime. The book itself is very informative and anyone interested can make small changes over time to improve overall health and reduce the risks of many major diseases.

Dr. Horner chronicles discoveries of life-styles, especially eating choices that directly impact the incidence of women's cancers. The information is powerful. Cancer kills too many of us, particularly in the western world. Her work to politically activate how women access TREATMENT is quite a story unto itself.

She's quite the vital speaker as well!
