Making a Difference: Chef Pete Ghione
There are many that would argue that good medicine doesn’t always come in a bottle with a child safe top; sometimes it comes on a plate. Chef Pete Ghione is among them, and he’s helping to fight cancer, one forkful at a time.
“Nutrition is obviously something people are becoming eager to learn about,” says Ghione. “Especially when it relates to potentially fighting and preventing cancer.” He would know. The turnout for his June 24th seminar about anti-cancer nutrition at The Caring Place brought in nearly three times the number that was expected. During the seminar, Ghione explained how conventionally grown, processed and refined ingredients negatively impact both our environment and our health, and how anything but organic can be a distraction to our immune system.
The most important aspect of the presentation, however, was about foods that fuel cancer and which ingredients have been known to help our body fight and resist cancer cells. In the end, the audience left with a better understanding of how fresh, clean and low-glycemic ingredients can help fight and prevent cancer. Just as we’re thankful for doctors that fight cancer in the lab, we’re grateful for Chef Ghione, who’s soldiering on in the kitchen. See what else he’s cooking up at www.cancercuisine.com.
