The book, “The China Study,” is written by world-renowned nutritional scholar T. Colin Campbell and his son, Thomas M. Campbell II. It centers around the findings from the biggest epidemiological investigation on diet and disease ever conducted. At the same time, it is a revealing personal story about a scientist (Dr. T. Colin Campbell) who has been committed to truthfulness and integrity throughout his life. The book covers topics such as cancer, heart disease, obesity, diabetes, and autoimmune diseases, their relationships to diet, as well as the way science is influenced and distorted nowadays, by politics, money and industry.

T. Colin Campbell was the Jacob Gould Schurman Professor Emeritus of Nutritional Biochemistry at Cornell University and Project Director of the China-Oxford-Cornell Diet and Health Project. For more than 40 years, he has been at the forefront of nutrition research. Campbell grew up as a farm boy in Virginia, USA and began his career as a scientist trying to promote a western meat based diet in the third world. Baffled by some findings in his initial research, he began to question some deep-rooted beliefs about protein and health. He finally found compelling evidence for the fact that a plant based diet is the natural diet for humans and became vegan himself. The book is a clearly written in-depth reference that includes original research articles.  “The China Study” would make a great gift for friends and relatives whose well-being concerns us.
