Editorial Review:
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 more than 2,500 counties across China and Taiwan, and conclusively demonstrates the link between nutrition and heart disease, diabetes, and cancer. While revealing that proper nutrition can have a dramatic effect on reducing and reversing these ailments as well as curbing obesity, this text calls into question the practices of many of the current dietary programs, such as the Atkins diet, that are widely popular in the West. The politics of nutrition and the impact of special interest groups in the creation and dissemination of public information are also discussed.

Rating: - IGNORE NEGATIVE REVIEWERS - THIS IS AN IMPORTANT BOOK
This book has two themes: Food choices can create a healthier body, and there's a bunch of folks that have vested interest in keeping us from knowing this truth.
It is evident that man has survived by being a scavenger, but this study suggests that some diets are better at promoting a healthy body beyond mere survival. If you need more verification of the health benefits of a plant-based diet beyond this study, look at the world-class athletes that are vegetarian. How do you suppose they ... Read More

The China Study: The Most Comprehensive Study of Nutrition Ever Conducted and the Startling Implications for Diet, Weight Loss and Long-term Health
This book has life-changing information. But don't let the fact that it is a description of many studies be a deterrent to reading it: the book is written in an extraordinarily readable style.
