 - The China StudyThis, in my opinion, is the absolute TRUTH about nutrition. It will blow your mind. Food-isms that you have believed all your life will be shattered. After "The China Study," it is difficult to put another bite of meat, egg, or dairy in your mouth. Now I am vegan, and will never go back. Rating: - Dairy literally CAUSES cancer.The China Study makes a compelling case against dairy. Dairy literally CAUSES cancer. Read the book to find out how and why. The diet suggested in The China Study is NOT vegetarian or vegan. It recommends some small amounts of fish. On page 243 it lays out the specific diet that will improve your health and prevent diseases of affluence like cancer, diabetes, heart disease and the like. The book recommends that you: a) eat all you want of a wide variety of fruits, vegetables, and whole grains b) minimize: amounts of refined carbs, oils, and fish c) avoid: meat, poultry, dairy or eggs It's basically a "flexitarian" diet where you eat like a vegetarian/ vegan most of the time but occasionally eat very small amounts of fish and other animal products. Rating: - great informationOur optometrist suggested this book for being healthier people. We have already started using some of the info in the book. I would suggest everyone to get this book! Rating: - Food for life...food for thoughtDuring the middle ages, scientists who challenged orthodoxy were burned at the stake (in the case of Giordorno Bruno) or confined (as in the case of Galileo). Now, we just cut off their grants. In part the story of a nutrition researcher who preached modern heresy and survived, the China Study is the story of a modern scientific finding that shouldn't be such a big surprise: OUR DIET EFFECTS OUR HEALTH. For his part, lengthy research by Campbell shows that a fruit and vegetable diet...with as little meat as possible...has the greatest effect on promoting health and avoiding disease of any diet. Though his researched may be challenged his basic point that public eating is an important part of public health can't be. Likewise, until reading this book it never occured to me just what power the food lobbiests had or what they would go to to put their particular spin on media coverage of their food products. Whoever you are, get and read this book. It provides important food for thought about what foods promote life and why. Rating: - The China StudyThis is a very good and informative book. Really makes me mad how the drug and food companies have duped us all, because of their greed. Also, mad at myself for all the bad habits I have formed with my eating.
