We show that asymptotic normalization coefficients (ANC) can be reliably extracted from one nucleon breakup reactions of loosely bound nuclei at 30-200 MeV/u. In particular, the breakup of ^8B is described in terms of an extended Glauber model. The parallel momentum distribution of core fragments is fully reproduced. The ^8B ANC extracted for the ground state of this nucleus from breakup data at several energies and on different targets, C_tot^2=3D0.437± .041 fm-1, leads to the astrophysical factor S_17(0)=3D 16.9± 1.7 eV\cdot b for the key reaction for solar neutrino production ^7Be(p,γ )^8B. The procedure described here is more general, providing an indirect method to determine reaction rates of astrophysical interest with beams of loosely bound radioactive nuclei.
