The Breast Cancer Prevention Diet by Dr Bob Arnot
When Dr Bob Arnot first published this book in 1999, many in the
medical community criticized him for giving women "false hope" of
preventing breast cancer. However, recently research has shown
definitively that nutrition plays an important role in cancer prevention,
particularly breast cancer. That's why we love Dr Arnot here at
girlfriendbooks! Buy this book for yourself, your mother, your sister
and your friends.

What Your Doctor May Not Tell You About Premenopause: Balance Your Hormones and Your Life from Thirty to Fifty by John R. Lee
Many of us have heard the term "peri-menopause" but do
we really know what it means? John Lee explains with wonderful
clarity how important this time in your life is to your health.
Particularly interesting is the section discussing xenohormones -
substances in our everyday lives, such as meat, pesticides, solvents, etc,
that actually raise the level of estrogen in our bodies. Huh? Heavy
duty stuff that is an essential read for every woman in this age group.
