Chef without a stomach teaches others how to eat a cancer-fighting diet

 

For this weekend’s edition of SANJAY GUPTA, MD, CNN chief medical correspondent Dr. Sanjay Gupta interviews chef Hans Rueffert, 2005 contestant for “The Next Food Network Star,” and author (Eat Like There’s No Tomorrow, 2009) about what healthy eating has done for him.  Rueffert is also a cancer survivor – shortly following his semi-finalist participation in the contest, he learned he had stomach cancer.  Following eleven surgeries, chemotherapy, and radiation, he developed a series of brain infections – all of which led to a total removal of his stomach.  Dr. Gupta learns how he now teaches others to cook for their health with his ‘cancer-fighting’ recipes.

This edition of SANJAY GUPTA, M.D. airs Saturday, Oct. 15 and Sunday, Oct. 16 at 7:30am ET on CNN.
