About this audiobook
Here is the updated and expanded edition of the bestseller that changed millions of lives.
The science is clear. The results are unmistakable.
You can dramatically reduce your risk of cancer, heart disease, and diabetes just by changing your diet.
More than thirty years ago, nutrition researcher T. Colin Campbell and his team at Cornell University, in partnership with teams in China and England, embarked upon the most comprehensive study ever undertaken of the relationship between diet and the risk of developing disease. What they found, when combined with findings in Campbell’s laboratory, opened their eyes to the dangers of a diet high in animal protein and the unparalleled health benefits of a whole foods, plant-based diet.
In 2005, T. Colin Campbell and his son Thomas M. Campbell, now a physician, shared those findings with the world in The China Study, hailed as one of the most important books about diet and health ever written.
This heavily expanded edition of their groundbreaking book features brand-new content, including the latest undeniable evidence of the power of a plant-based diet, plus updated information about the changing medical system and how patients can benefit from a surging interest in plant-based nutrition.
The China Study: Revised and Expanded Edition presents a clear and concise message of hope as it dispels a multitude of health myths and misinformation. The basic message is clear. The key to a long, healthy life lies in three things: breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
The new information includes
updated research on heart disease, obesity, diabetes, cancer, autoimmune disease, and other diseases;
updated supplementation recommendations; and
a new chapter about the media’s coverage, or lack of coverage, of plant-based diet research.
T. Colin Campbell, PhD, has been at the forefront of nutrition research for more than fifty years. His legacy, the China Study, was, at that time, the most comprehensive study of health and nutrition ever conducted. Dr. Campbell is the Jacob Gould Schurman Professor Emeritus of nutritional biochemistry at Cornell University. He has received more than seventy grant-years of peer-reviewed research funding and authored more than 350 research papers. The China Study was the culmination of a twenty-year partnership of Cornell University, Oxford University, and the Chinese Academy of Preventative Medicine. In 1997, it was cited by the Chinese Ministry of Health as the most important study in medicine in China from 1978–1997. He also has been a member of several expert panels on food, nutrition, and health, especially those of the US National Academy of Sciences and the US National Institutes of Health. He has been the recipient of three lifetime achievement awards.View all by T. Colin Campbell PhD, Thomas M. Campbell II MD
