Read and develop your own opinion

Amazing book to me. If your health and nutrition seriously interest you, this book will educate you. Neither my review, nor anyone else's, can effectively articulate what is in this book. Read and decide FOR YOURSELF.

Food for Thought and Body

I got this book as a gift and then I gave it to someone as a gift. It made me think about what I am eating. As a result of the information, not marketing hype, I have made changes to my eating habits. I feel healthier and have lost weight. It is a very good book for those who want to improve their health through food.

a must read for every health conscious person

The China Study is indeed the most comprehensive book on nutrition, health, diseases and well being. Not only is the book informative and educational, it is written in a way that every reader can easily understand the content.

I am particularly impressed with the explanations about the diseases; it is medical knowledge made easy.

I have recommended the book to many friends and relatives and have sent copies to my sons.

After reading the book, I have started a process to gear my diet to a plant-based diet.

Campbell's bold remarks on government, industry and even the health organizations should be publicized for all people to become aware of the reality.

Condemns Animal Protein Consumption

In this book, T. Colin Campbell asserts that consumption of animal protein leads to heart disease and cancer, and suggests that going vegetarian can actually reverse heart disease and arrest the growth of cancer (and that old age need not be the ordeal that it usually is in America today). He refers to the China Study, an extensive study of dietary patterns across various regions of China. He claims that the study found that those who consume less animal protein get fewer "diseases of affluence" such as heart disease and cancer.

The author also hypothesizes that consuming animal protein, including dairy products, can lead to autoimmune diseases, kidney stones (shudder!), diabetes, blindness, and other conditions.

Campbell asserts that science in this country is strongly influenced by industries that sell food products containing animal protein, and also asserts that American medicine attempts to treat diseases with drugs and surgery rather than with better nutrition.

However, there are many who question the findings in the book, and even most Eastern diets contain at least some meat. While Americans as a whole do eat too much meat, and this book is a good warning to cut back on meat consumption to an extent, one might be wary about entirely eliminating it from your diet.

Type 1 diabetes remark is hogwash!

I breastfed my daughter (who has type 1 diabetes) from birth to age 2 (yes, TWO) and she was VEGAN, eating ONLY ORGANIC food until she was about 10, so the author's unfounded and unproved and just plain WRONG idea that cow's milk causes type-1 diabetes makes the entire book worthless to me. Sure, we all know by now that diet is important to health, but people who assume they know it all is a sure sign that I want nothing to do with it.
