When Everything Tastes Wrong: Eating During Cancer Treatment, When Food Tastes of Metal or of Nothing
You are not failing to eat. Your mouth has changed.
Food tasting of metal, or of cardboard, or of nothing at all, is not fussiness. The drugs are present in your saliva. The cells that make taste work are being knocked back along with everything else that renews fast. It is physical, it is documented, and it is temporary.
This book does not try to make you eat well. It tries to make you eat.
Forty recipes, five ingredients each, nothing that can failWhy food tastes of metal — and the plastic fork that fixes itWhy smell matters more than taste, and why cold food winsThe protein target, and what it looks like on a plateThe mouth rinse — and why two cancer centres disagree on itThe restrictive diet you may be given that the evidence rejectsWhat is actually shown to work, graded honestly, including the free intervention almost nobody is told aboutNo superfoods. No anti-cancer diet. Nothing here is claimed to do anything to your cancer.
