In 'The China Study', Dr. T. Colin Campbell details the connection
between nutrition and heart disease, diabetes, and cancer. The report
also examines the source of nutritional confusion produced by powerful
lobbies, government entities, and opportunistic scientists. 'The New
York Times' has recognized the study as the "Grand Prix of epidemiology"
and the "most comprehensive large study ever undertaken of the
relationship between diet and the risk of developing disease."
'The China Study' is not a diet book. Dr. Campbell cuts through the haze
of misinformation and delivers an insightful message to anyone living
with cancer, diabetes, heart disease, obesity, and those concerned with
the effects of aging.
Even today, as trendy diets and a weight-loss frenzy sweep the
nation, two-thirds of adults are still obese and children are being
diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes, typically an "adult" disease, at an
alarming rate. If we're obsessed with being thin more so than ever
before, why are Americans stricken with heart disease as much as we were
30 years ago?
