Visit to Cascina Rosa at the Istituto Nazionale Dei Tumori

Fri, 13 Jul 2007

In Milan Nandita met Dr Franco Berrino a reputed oncologist (cancer specialist) working at the Istituto Nazionale Dei Tumori, Milan, the most prestigious cancer hospital in Italy. He has been researching the effects of a whole food vegan diet on his patients for years, and has produced papers on the effects of this diet on breast cancer.

The Institute has given him a separate building, Cascina Rosa, which has a huge kitchen and facilities to cook and hold workshops and talks on health. His lovely wife runs the kitchen. They run health workshops and cooking classes as a means of better health and disease prevention.
