Product Description:
Part Medical Thriller, Part Governmental Expose and Part Nutrition Manual. Dr. Campbell issues a stark warning against the imminent "Atkins Backlash". This is NOT a diet book. Consumers are bombarded with conflicting messages regarding health and nutrition; the market is flooded with popular titles like "The Atkins Diet" and "The South Beach Diet". Dr. Campbell cuts through the haze of misinformation and delivers an insightful message to anyone living with cancer, diabetes, heart disease, obesity and those concerned with the effect of ageing. Dr. Campbell challenges the validity of these low-carb fad diets and issues a startling warning to their followers. "The New York Times" has recognised the study ("China-Oxford-Cornell Diet and Health Project") as the "Grand Prix of epidemiology" and the "most comprehensive large study ever undertaken of the relationship between diet and the risk of developing disease".

Hey what else is there!

Although the author does quite the job dissing diets that do not fall within his idealogy, the abject weakness of observational studies such as this do nothing to deter the claim that this is "the most comprehensive study of nutrition ever conducted". While reading this [as one with an M.S. degree in physiology], I kept saying to myself, "but what about *this* possible confounding variable, what about *that* possible confounding variable?!?!?!" These are never addressed, and what the non-scientific ... Read More

The China Study was recommended by my son who is a Chiropractor and recognized that I needed to change my eating habits. I have Prostate Cancer and am following some of the suggestions from the book. The research that has gone int this study is amazing and should be recommended reading for all parents that are concerned with the well-being of their children. What we have eaten throughout our lives has poisoned our systems and what we can learn from the studies done from observations of other countries ... Read More
