Harnessing the Power of Food
Diet Confusion? Alkaline, Paleo, Ketogenic, Macrobiotic, or Vegan: Are any really anti-cancer? Help your patients navigate today's diet craze maze
“Eat this…Don’t eat that! Grains are great! Avoid wheat! No animal products ever! OK, maybe a little fish every once in a while.” Confused by the dietary do’s and don’ts that perplex our patients as well? Are any of the currently popular “named” diets the one to follow?
Come learn the pros and cons of some of today’s most popular nutritional regimes touted as healthful. Donald Abrams, M.D. will explore the support for some of the recommended diets, review what is good about the regimen, what is problematic, and seek themes common among them. During the course of the exploration we will sample delicious morsels of foods deemed healthy.
Chef Rebecca Katz will demonstrate how to prepare big-flavor, quick and easy colorful plant based plates using cancer-fighting herbs, spices and vegetables Additionally, she will show how these plates can be garnished with sustainable proteins, nuts, seeds and grains.
