The book I am talking about is The China Study, by Dr. T. Colin
Campbell, PhD and Thomas M. Campbell II.
The full title says a lot about the book: The China Study – The Most Comprehensive
Study of Nutrition Ever Conducted and the Startling Implications
for Diet, Weight Loss, and Long-Term Health.
If you decide not to read the book here is the 20-second summary:
The science is clear. The results are unmistakable and they cannot
be ignored. CHANGE YOUR DIET and dramatically reduce your risk of
cancer, heart disease, diabetes and obesity.
More specifically, ELIMINATE ALL ANIMAL-BASED FOODS from your diet.
Get as much of your nutrition as possible from plant-based foods
with as little processing/cooking as possible.
How is this “radical” conclusion arrived at?
By studying the patterns of associations for different dietary,
lifestyle, and incidence of disease in 6,500 adults and their
families, across 130 villages, in 65 counties in China.
People who ate THE MOST ANIMAL-BASED FOODS GOT THE MOST CHRONIC diseases. Even relatively small intakes of animal-based foods were
associated with adverse effects.
People who ate THE MOST PLANT-BASED FOODS WERE THE HEALTHIEST and tended to avoid chronic disease.
