The China Study: The Most Comprehensive Study of Nutrition Ever Conducted and the Startling Implications for Diet, Weight Loss, and Long-term Health by T. Colin Campbell, Thomas Campbell
4.0
One that’s been on my TBR pile for a decade! Oops!
The China Study is billed as one of the world’s most comprehensive studies in nutrition. It’s a little heavy on the medical jargon but worth pushing on with. The main theme of the book is diet as the main indicator of diseases of affluence ie type 2 diabetes, asthma, coronary heart disease, cerebrovascular disease, peripheral vascular disease, obesity, hypertension, cancer, alcoholism, gout, and some types of allergy, depression as well as some mental health conditions. This book not only examines what causes these diseases but also what we should be eating to prevent them and attempts to sort through and explain some of the mixed nutritional messaging we’ve been getting.
It is big. It is heavy. It’s hard going so for those that want the answers:
