Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

This exhaustive presentation of the findings from the China Study conclusively demonstrates the link between nutrition and heart disease, diabetes, and cancer. Referred to as the "Grand Prix of epidemiology" by The New York Times, this study examines more than 350 variables of health and nutrition with surveys from 6,500 adults in 65 counties, representing 2,500 counties across rural China and Taiwan. While revealing that proper nutrition can have a dramatic effect on reducing and reversing these ailments as well as obesity, this text calls into question the practices of many of the current dietary programs, such as the Atkins diet, that enjoy widespread popularity in the West. The impact of the politics of nutrition and the efforts of special interest groups on the creation and dissemination of public information on nutrition are also discussed.

Dr Campbell's book is the first I've seen that brings to one place a lot of research on the subject of nutrition and health. It has been known for a long time that certain diseases were much more common in industrialized countries. In this book, Dr Campbell explains why. He is not a quack and doesn't present speculation. He describes the results from many years of peer-reviewed research that conclusively shows that we are killing ourselves by what we eat and costing millions of dollars in the process. What makes one so angry when reading this book is that our government, who supposedly makes recommendations for a healthy diet, has been misleading us for many years. Read this book--it could save your life.
