By T. Colin Campbell, PH.D with Thomas M. Campbell II
If you are looking to read a “meaty” book(i.e., written in a substantial but highly understandable way by one of the world’s top nutritional scientists), then you have come to the right place! Just click on the image of “The China Study” to the left and order it from Amazon today. You may already have heard about it from your “healthy” friends– those people who have given up meat and dairy are now great crusaders for a vegan lifestyle. But maybe you didn’t really respect their opinions (after all, weren’t they the same ones who three months ago were stocking up on ‘pastured beef’ and didn’t ____ once expound on the virtues of the Atkins Diet?) Don’t worry– Dr. Colin Campbell has the “scientific research” credentials to put to rest all of your qualms about credibility. He has served on many of the most prestigeous committees for food policy and research in the United States. The China Study is a summation of the most “comprehensive large study ever undertaken of the relationship between diet and the risk of developing disease” (taken from a New York Times review).
What makes this book different from a lot of other ’studies’ you will read about is that because of T. Colin Campbell’s status he has an inside window into the workings of all the
major institutions involved with food and nutrition policy and administration in the United States. Many of the “Big Boys” are/were personal friends and colleagues. I don’t know about you, but I just love to read stories of high intregrity in the face of startling greed and lust for power. Like his friend, John Robbins (author of Diet for a New America) T. Colin Campbell went up against Big Medicine, Big Pharma, and the Government of the United States with his so-called “radical” approach to connecting diseases to nutrition.
Do you want to know the REAL story about disease prevention and weight management in a world where there is a different diet on every front page of every magazine at the check-out? Are you at a point in your life where you want to make urgent improvements to your health and/or to that of your family? Do you want to be released from the high costs of traditional medicine, surgery and that ilk? I can promise that this is one of those books that will provide answers that will truly turn your life around!
Dr. T. Colin Campbell does not espouse the virtues of a “100% raw vegan” lifestyle– you’ll have to go to other writers for that– but he does provide a significant starting place for anyone who is sitting on the fence between the Standard American Diet (SAD) and a desire for something more life-giving and disease-preventing.
And although he doesn’t profess to be “raw vegan” he has an appreciative audience in the raw vegan world. You can listen to an excellent interview with Dr. Campbell by clicking here.(from Raw Vegan Radio)
