The Revised and Expanded Edition of the Bestseller That Changed Millions of Lives
More than 30 years ago, nutrition researcher T. Colin Campbell and his team at Cornell, in partnership with teams in China and England, embarked upon the China Study, the most comprehensive study ever undertaken of the relationship between diet and the risk of developing disease. The science is clear, and the results are unmistakable: you can dramatically reduce your risk of cancer, heart disease, and diabetes just by changing your diet.
What they found, when combined with findings in Colin'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, Colin and his son Tom, 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.
Featuring brand new content, this heavily expanded edition of Colin and Tom's groundbreaking book includes the latest undeniable evidence of the power of a plant-based diet, plus updated information about the changing medical system and how patients stand to 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. By adopting a whole foods, plant-based diet, individuals can dramatically reduce their risk of chronic diseases and enjoy a longer, healthier life. The China Study Revised and Expanded Edition provides a comprehensive and compelling case for this approach, drawing on decades of research and practical experience.
The book delves into the science behind the benefits of a plant-based diet, exploring the role of nutrients, phytochemicals, and other dietary components in preventing and even reversing chronic diseases. It also addresses common misconceptions and challenges faced by those transitioning to a plant-based lifestyle, offering practical guidance and support.
One of the most powerful aspects of The China Study Revised and Expanded Edition is its ability to empower readers to take control of their own health. By presenting clear, evidence-based information, the book encourages individuals to make informed decisions about their diet and lifestyle, ultimately leading to improved well-being and a reduced risk of chronic illness.
The revised and expanded edition of this groundbreaking work continues to inspire and educate readers, reinforcing the message that a whole foods, plant-based diet is not only beneficial for individual health, but also for the health of our planet. As the world grapples with the growing burden of chronic diseases, this book stands as a beacon of hope, guiding readers towards a path of optimal health and wellness.
