NEW BOOK REVEALS THE NATURAL HUMAN DIET
THE CHINA STUDY PRODUCES EVIDENCE OF A DIET THAT DRAMATICALLY
REDUCES THE RISK OF CANCER, HEART DISEASE AND OBESITY
Respected nutrition and health researcher, Dr. T. Colin Campbell
reveals the truth behind special interest groups, government entities and scientists
that have taken Americans down a deadly path
“… findings from the most comprehensive large study ever
undertaken of the relationship between diet and the risk of
developing disease are challenging much of American
dietary dogma.”
-- The New York Times
Even today, as the low-carb craze sweeps the nation, twothirds
of adults are still obese and children are being
diagnosed with Type II diabetes, typically an “adult”
disease, at an alarming rate. If we’re eating healthier, why
are Americans stricken with heart disease as much as we
were 30 years ago?
In The China Study, T. Colin Campbell, Ph.D., details the
connection between nutrition and heart disease, diabetes,
and cancer. The report also examines the source of
nutritional confusion produced by powerful lobbies,
government entities, and opportunistic scientists. The New
York Times has recognized the study (China-Oxford-Cornell
Diet and Health Project) as the “Grand Prix of
epidemiology” and the “most comprehensive large study
ever undertaken of the relationship between diet and the
risk of developing disease.”
“After a long career in research and policy-making, I have decided to step ‘out of the system.’ I
have decided to disclose why Americans are so confused,” said Dr. Campbell. “As a taxpayer who foots the bill for research and health policy in America, you deserve to know that many of
the common notions you have been told about food, health and disease are wrong.”
“I propose to do nothing less than redefine what we think of as good nutrition. You need to
know the truth about food, and why eating the right way can save your life.”
Early in his career as a researcher with MIT and Virginia Tech, Dr. Campbell worked to
promote better health by eating more meat, milk and eggs -- “high-quality animal protein … It
was an obvious sequel to my own life on the farm and I was happy to believe that the
American diet was the best in the world.”
He later was a researcher on a project in the Philippines working with malnourished children.
The project became an investigation for Dr. Campbell, as to why so many Filipino children
were being diagnosed with liver cancer, predominately an adult disease. The primary goal of
the project was to ensure that the children were getting as much protein as possible.
“In this project, however, I uncovered a dark secret. Children who ate the highest protein diets
were the ones most likely to get liver cancer...” He began to review other reports from around
the world that reflected the findings of his research in the Philippines.
Although it was “heretical to say that protein wasn’t healthy,” he started an in-depth study
into the role of nutrition, especially protein, in the cause of cancer.
The research project culminated in a 20-year partnership of Cornell University, Oxford
University, and the Chinese Academy of Preventive Medicine, a survey of diseases and
lifestyle factors in rural China and Taiwan. More commonly known as the China Study, “this
project eventually produced more than 8000 statistically significant associations between
various dietary factors and disease.”
The findings? “People who ate the most animal-based foods got the most chronic disease …
People who ate the most plant-based foods were the healthiest and tended to avoid chronic
disease. These results could not be ignored,” said Dr. Campbell.
In The China Study, Dr. Campbell details the connection between nutrition and heart disease,
diabetes, and cancer, and also its ability to reduce or reverse the risk or effects of these deadly
illnesses. The China Study also examines the source of nutritional confusion produced by
powerful lobbies, government entities, and irresponsible scientists.
The China Study is not a diet book. Consumers are bombarded with conflicting messages
regarding health and nutrition; the market is flooded with popular titles like The Atkins Diet
and The South Beach Diet. Dr. Campbell cuts through the haze of misinformation and delivers
an insightful message to anyone living with cancer, diabetes, heart disease, obesity, and those
concerned with the effects of aging. Additionally, he challenges the validity of these low-carb
fad diets and issues a startling warning to their followers.
ABOUT DR. CAMPBELL
Dr. Campbell is a Jacob Gould Schurman Professor Emeritus of nutritional biochemistry at
Cornell University. He has received more than 70 grant-years of peer-reviewed research
funding and authored more than 300 research papers. His legacy, The China Study, is the most
comprehensive study of health and nutrition ever conducted. The study was the culmination
of a 20-year partnership of Cornell University, Oxford University and the Chinese Academy of
Preventive Medicine.
An engaging and enlightening interview, Dr. Campbell has an encyclopedic knowledge of
health and nutrition backed by more than 40 years of research. His well-documented views on
the social and political forces of health and nutrition and the impact on Americans makes him
a credible and authoritative subject-matter expert regarding topics such as the current low-carb
fad and the ensuing “Atkins Backlash.”
