Overview

This exhaustive presentation of the findings from the China Study conclusively demonstrates the link between nutrition and heart disease, diabetes, and cancer. Referred to as the "Grand Prix of epidemiology" by The New York Times, this study examines more than 350 variables of health and nutrition with surveys from 6,500 adults in 65 counties, representing 2,500 counties across rural China and Taiwan. While revealing that proper nutrition can have a dramatic effect on reducing and reversing these ailments as well as obesity, this text calls into question the practices of many of the current dietary programs, such as the Atkins diet, that enjoy widespread popularity in the West. The impact of the politics of nutrition and the efforts of special interest groups on the creation and dissemination of public information on nutrition are also discussed.

Editorial Reviews

[This] elaborate study of rural Chinese gives big points to the health value of their plant-based diets.
Reviewer: Susan Nitzke, PhD(University of Wisconsin-Madison)
Description: This book has 18 chapters divided into four sections titled: The China Study, Diseases of Affluence, The Good Nutrition Guide, and Why Haven't You Heard This Before?
Purpose: T. Colin Campbell, an emeritus professor from Cornell University, and his son, Thomas M. Campbell, coauthored this book to present "a new framework for understanding nutrition and health, a framework that eliminates confusion, prevents and treats disease and allows you to live a more fulfilling life." This broad purpose is partially achieved by summarizing the evidence that favors eating only plant-based whole foods.
Audience: This book is written for the lay public. The senior author is the J. G. Schurman Professor Emeritus of Nutritional Biochemistry at Cornell University.
Features: This book presents a mix of personal experience, population studies, and biomedical research to support the health benefits of a totally vegetarian diet. The benefits of this eating pattern are claimed to be wide-ranging — from losing weight to reducing risk of diabetes, heart disease, cancer, and diseases of the bones, kidneys, eyes and brain. Unfortunately, the authors are too quick to dismiss studies that oppose or weaken their conclusions.
Assessment: Students and health experts who wish to examine the evidence that favors a plant-based diet may find this book to be a useful and interesting summary. The book includes hundreds of notes and references, adding to its value for such scholarly applications. However, its value as an unbiased guide for the general public would be difficult to justify.
Library Journal
In the 1980s, a comprehensive study of the effects of diet on disease and lifestyle was conducted among 6500 adults in 65 counties in rural China. Campbell (nutritional biochemistry, Cornell Univ.) examines the results of that study and compares the predominantly plant-based Chinese diets with the high consumption of meat and dairy products in the West. Drawing on hundreds of references and his 40-year career as a nutritional biochemist, Campbell compellingly argues that animal-based foods are responsible for high rates of heart disease, diabetes, cancer, obesity, Alzheimer's, osteoporosis, and the effects of aging. He challenges long-held beliefs about the nutritional benefits of animal products and points out the confusing glut of contradictory information disseminated by the food industry. Campbell urges readers to eliminate meat and dairy from their diets to achieve better health and longevity. His study will add a new dimension to the public debate about the role of plant-based foods in the human diet. Recommended for nutrition and health collections.-Irwin Weintraub, Brooklyn Coll.

    Life Changing

    This one-step-at-a-time, well-documented book changed the way I enjoy food.

    From scientific research explained in comprehendable terms to anecdotal, yet convincing, information to exposure of food-politics and the linked economic greed in the United States, the author made an undeniable case as to why I should change my eating habits.

    I have always been among healthy Americans by politically correct standards. I'm an outdoorsman, I work out, I weighed 185 with a 6' frame, I take the smallest dose offered of Lipitor, get a physical every year, had a "see ya in ten years" exit interview after my colonoscopy, etc, etc. etc. Why worry? Because life could be much, much better. Our our culture has allowed, and sometimes even advocated, a host of unhealthy habits in our diets. We need to get away from it.

    Have I become a veggie freak? Absolutely not. But I've reinvented my approach to meals as a result of this book. From some sort of meat, fish, or processed pasta at least twice daily, I've now transformed to attempting to eat only what I catch or shoot. Even at that I limit my animal based food intake to three or four servings weekly at most--primarily because restaurants simply don't offer meals that don't include either pieces of farm raised animals or processed pasta as the main course. In place, I've learned to eat all sorts of plants and am having a blast at mealtime.

    Results? I dropped about 10# of "baby fat" off the frame in about ten weeks. I sleep better. My doctor just allowed me to move off Lipitor (after six months of change) in that my "bad cholestorol" numbers are down by 60 (yes, sixty) points to 124 and my good cholesterol is up 8. This saves me about $600 a year.... Last, I feel good about it.

    National healthcare crisis? We need to stop letting the insurers, the medical procedure performers, the hospitals and big pharma dodge the real issue. Reality is that the dairy, beef, sugar and prepared food industries are poisoning us in order to make a buck. Then, when they've given us diabetes, heart disease, and a higher incidence of Alzheimers, the "healthcare industry" takes over and bleeds us of our dollars treating symptoms -- not the real problem.

    Read this book. Live longer for less money. Be active. Enjoy.

    If you read ONE review...

    Before I say one word about the book, I must say professionally, I am in the health and wellness field, so the subject matter of this book are my bread and butter. I say this only so you know this is not new territory for me. Also, I am not a vegan, but my wife is. As a result, I eat a mostly vegan diet, and I am very supportive of her in that choice. I am not hostile towards vegans in any way. In fact, my favorite restaurants near my home are all vegan.

    Having said all that, I must add I am VERY hostile towards bad science and/or liars. I don't know which one Campbell is, but either way, I am sick of hearing about this book. If you perform a simple google search, you can find that he published his FULL findings, and you can read them in their entirety. But they're not in this volume. That's right, for some reason, he did not mention all the research in the book that is supposed to be a summation of the research. I won't bother going point by point, but I can tell you he left out an entire village that contradicted his points all across the board. That's one glaring omission. And there are many more where that came from. Beyond leaving things out, he misinterprets and makes broad leaps of logic that are not connected to the data he DOES use.

    I won't lie myself and tell you that everything he says is nonsense, because he does make the occasional good point here and there, BUT when a "scientist" has to use smoke and mirrors, lie, and leave out large swaths of information that don't support his claims, he loses ALL credibility in my eyes. You can find other books that make the same good points but don't resort to manipulation to do it. I suggest reading those.

    A not-to-be-missed book challenging all of today's diet and nutrition norms for anyone wanting to be healthier.

    This is truly a monumental book which upsets all the normal diet and nutrition concepts. This is a not-to-be-missed book for everyone interested in improving their health through nutrition. The scientific evidence of this incredible study is irrefutable. The information in this book will compel you to make changes in your life away from the rich, western diet to a more sensible approach to nutrition that is plant-based. While the concept is challenging for many to adopt, it is truly the inconvenient truth that will save your life.

    The China Study

    I was diagnosed with a rare genetic cancer and my oncologist suggested that I get this book and read it. I did and could not put it done. I learned so much about diet and cancer. I am constantly picking up the book and reading certain parts of it as a reminder of what I need to continue to do to stay healthy.
    I gradually started changing my diet and daily habits and I can honestly say that I feel so much better. My hsband even got a few shocks himself and has also changed diet and daily habits with me.
    I highly recommend this book to anyone that is interested in changing thier diet and health hbits. It is so important for thier whole family.

    "The China Study" really can save or change your life!

    This book should be required reading!! Dr. Campbell has done the whole world a favor in writing this amazing book. By page 120 my chin had fallen to the floor and I think it is still there! You CAN prevent and cure cancer, you CAN prevent and cure heart disease, diabetes, and so many horrible diseases! Do you know the most toxic food you can put in the human body? Answer: Cow's Milk. It can cause all of the above diseases plus is responsible for 70 to 80 percent of all hip fractures and 88% of all macular degeneration - where you can go blind!!! And that is just one of the foods discussed in this book! In their tests with rats, they got to the point where they could turn the growth of cancer on or off just by the amount of animal protein they fed the rats!! I am so angry at the Pharmaceuticals, the Lobbyists, the Dairy Association (who have known for 80 YEARS that our bodies cannot assimilate bovine calcium) and the Beef Association that I am going to spend the rest of my life pleading with people to read this book. They will never find a cure for cancer, heart disease (or any disease) as long as the reseach facilities are full of scientists paid for by lobbyists. If someone reads the book and does not want to follow it, at least they have had the "choice." I am even holding an "Alternative Medicine Health Seminar," which, will, of course, include this book. Do yourself and your loved ones a BIG favor and at least read the book. The rest, as they say, is up to you. THANK YOU DR. CAMPBELL!!

    Cancer and Heart Disease are voluntary

    If you want to really take charge of your own destiny with regards to your health, Dr. Campbell's book is a MUST READ. I have been a vegeterian for about 10 years before reading this book and didn't feel I could learn a lot of new things in this regard, but I was wrong. Campbell describes the three stages of cancer: Initiation, promotion and progression. He clearly shows how ANIMAL PROTEIN is responsible for all three stages. One of the Key Findings in his 35 years of research is the fact that CANCER GROWTH CAN BE TURNED ON OR OFF, simply through the ingestion or non-ingestion of animal protein. Dr. Campbell, his research and his book deserve a lot more attention and public recognition than is presently the case. People should take heed of the vital message conveyed to us by this ground breaking book. Society and humanity at large owe a great debt to the work of this man. Stop being a victim of disease and misery, reclaim your God-given right to health and happiness. Take the first step and read this book! Unlike other authors who have a product to push, Dr. Campbell is a scientist in the truest sense of the word. What I like best is that the information in this book originates from research of the highest quality, meeting the most rigorous scientific standards. I also like the fact that he is not an M.D., who btw are not scientists at all, but has a doctorate in Biochemical Nutrition. Society looks to medical doctors for advice on health. What could be more absurd than that?! M.D.'s spend all their time studying and exploring disease. How is it possible to know about health through the study of disease? Modern medical science is a farce and is preoccupied in treating disease, all the while completely ignoring the cause of disease. And the cause of 95% of all disease is lifestyle with nutrition dominating the top of the list. Thank you Dr. Campbell!

    Simply Awesome!

    The information in this book is so clear and concise and it makes absolute sense! Western diseases are related to diet; Dr. Colin Campbell has proven it. If Westerners continue to eat animal flesh, dairy and refined sugar, they are simply going to continue suffering from a slew of illnesses and diseases. When a person eats a diet consisting of whole grains and plants, the body flourishes and thrives. Quit saying "but it tastes so good" and read this book! Once you make the switch to a diet of whole grains and fresh fruits and veggies, your taste buds will change for good! I only wish that the experiments carried out on innocent rats and mice had been avoided; Americans shouldn't need to torture animals in order to realize that eating right is good for us and eating bad will kill us.

    Required reading for any medical professional, & anyone on prescriptions

    At the tender age of 67, this book was handed to me to read, and turned my 67 year old dietary habits totally around. When I went vegan 6 mos ago, I was pre-diabetic, with a fasting glucose of 109 moderated by 1000 mg of Metformin, with cholesterol of 224 moderated by Simvastaatin. Six months later, I've lost 15#, dropped the Metformin & Simvastatin protocol, with fasting glucose readings in the high 70's, and cholesterol at 114 (HDL=56, LDL=35). Having been educated as an engineer, Campbell's statistics are overwhelmingly are accurately documented, and I'm a one man case study of his the results of his recommendations. Now, for the hypertensive meds...

    Finally, the truth!

    If what the China Study claims to be true is accurate, this book will be the most important work on health ever written. Animal protein is singled out as the primary cause of most western disease. The study makes sense. Big business in America does not want us to know the truth. Billions of dollars are behind the meat, poultry and dairy industries. The author says that removing animal protein and eating a whole grain, plant based diet, will stop cancer and swing the pendulum in the other direction. He sold me.

    I loved this book!

    I am a skeptic at heart, and I very much value logic and information. This book was very well written and presented in a manner that scientifically explained the WHY of the diet recommendations. I couldnt put The China Study down and told my friends and family about it. I am now a believer, but more than that, it is more than just following a book written by popularity, it is a decision I made based on the information presented. Well written book!

    A must read for every health minded person

    After starting this book I could not put it down. If this book does not make a major change in the standard American diet, then we, the people, are hopeless. If it does not make an impact on the way medicine is practiced (my doctor was not even aware of this book) then something is definitely wrong and we will go on paying for drups and therapies, even surgeries, that may not be necessary if the reccomendations in this book are followed. I had already recently become a vegan when I came across this book. It has totally rein- forced my decision.

    Poorly researched work

    Campbell collected a lot of data for his book but did a poor job of actually analyzing the data. Thankfully there have been others that took the data collected by Campbell, crunched the numbers instead of cherry picking the data to support the results they wanted, and came to the conclusion that Campbell is off in his conclusions. Again, this is according to his own data.

    Don't take my word for, do some research and you'll find the some valuable information. If you do decide to read the book, do so with an open mind and be sure to research the conclusions put forth by Campbell.

    If you care about health in any way you need to read this book - It is extremely informative, facts well documented and not just someone's opinion, real facts. It will most definitely change your view on several levels. A must read for everyone -I am grateful it was suggested to me and I have passed that same suggestion on, as well as given it has gifts several times. Thank you Dr Campbell for caring!

    Serious Reading that affects your health

    Makes you think about everything you thought you knew about diet and nutritiion. Makes you wonder about how our government makes it recommendations. If you read this book in combination with "Nudge" you will be even more concerned about the motivations of the recommendations that we thought were gospel. Remove the focus on protein and focus on plant based diet is the key themes. Read and change your life style to achieve better health.

    Best Life Saving Book that can save your life and those you love starting right now. Reversing Heart Disease, Diabetes, Cancer and obesity. A must read and study in this day and age. Don't hesitate, get it now. You will never be sorry.

    This is the most informational book ever written about your health. T. Colin Campbell is easy to understand, and his life saving story will bring you and yours a new healthy life. I will make this short, with a simple question. If someone told you they had found the cure and reversal of Heart Disease, Cancer, Diabetes II, Obesity and that the evidence shows the curing of thousands of people without any side effects, would you be interested?

    These Doctors and Scientist know how you can do all these things to improve or save your life. And this book tells you. Just change three things in your life, Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner.
    I lost my only daughter to cancer just before this book came out. If I had had it she would be with us today. God Bless T. Colin Campbell, Thomas Campbell, Dr. Esselstyn, Dr McDougall, and all those other doctors who are quietly telling their patients to buy and read this book if they want to get well. And God bless you for reading this review.

    I recommend this book to everyone I know!

    I have bought this book for my parents and all my good friends, and have recommended it to everyone else I know! This book is a must read if you care about your health. Basically, Dr. Campbell has done years of research both in the lab and also with people. The China Study has been going on for over 20 years, and they have learned a lot about how food, specifically animal protein, affects our health. It is truly life changing and has inspired me to completely change my eating habits. I have never read a book that has made this kind of impact on me. Thank you Dr. Campbell!
