Immensely helpful

This book presents a world of scientific information relating to diet and health in a clear and understandable manner. Although the concepts are not mainstream, the scientific support for the author's position is compelling. I have seen marked changes in my weight and health since adopting many of the guidelines suggested in this book.

Compelling, Life Changing Information

I heard about this book when reading, "A Cancer Therapy". I originally checked it out from my local library, but found that there was so much information, it needed to be added to my home reference library. The science listed in this book is absolutely compelling and life changing! I have been doing research into the link between animal based products, namely meat and dairy, and disease and this book really spelled it out using scientific data and detailing years worth of experiments documenting the relationship between the two. This book is a MUST read for anyone. It has literally changed my life! We have changed the way we eat so that we could live a healthy lifestyle and enjoy this life to the fullest. What's the point of living a long life if you're sick, in pain, or fighting a disease? I want to live to be a healthy great-grandmother. I also feel a responsibility as a mother and a wife to feed my family the best way I know how. I am hoping with the information I have learned in this book, as well as others, I can train my small children in healthy eating habits and possibly prevent them from battling disease or cancer in the future. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS BOOK !!!!!!

Important information for general education

Dr Campbell has a general disregard for the medical profession which is somewhat pervasive in his story. There are several scientific elements missing from the studies, however, he presents in a pretty clear manner a huge scandal in America - Go figure, it's all about money after all! The study in China is a refreshing look into the reality of living the easy life and the diseases and cancers we bring on ourselves as a result. Fascinating reading!

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.
