Referred to as the "Grand Prix of epidemiology" by The New York Times, this study examines more than 350 variables of health and nutrition with surveys from 6,500 adults in more than 2,500 counties across China and Taiwan, and conclusively demonstrates the link between nutrition and heart disease, diabetes, and cancer. While revealing that proper nutrition can have a dramatic effect on reducing and reversing these ailments as well as curbing obesity, this text calls into question the practices of many of the current dietary programs, such as the Atkins diet, that are widely popular in the West. The politics of nutrition and the impact of special interest groups in the creation and dissemination of public information are also discussed.

 Written on November 29, 2008 Summary: I changed my diet immediately after reading this book. I have read dozens of nutrition and health books, and (as so many other reviewers have said) this book changed my life more than any other. It demonstrates convincing and credible research that animal protein triggers cancer (and a host of other diseases we already knew about). After reading this book twice, I bought a bunch of vegetarian cookbooks and stopped eating meat (no small feat for me). I'm still working on the dairy, but my goal is to go 95% vegan. And, as a happy byproduct, I've lost 10 pounds in two months -- without trying at all. Written on November 29, 2008 Summary: Excellent guide! This book is loaded with factual info about health and diet. I'm so impressed with the science, I just couldn't argue and now follow a plant based diet. The evidence is so clear that rationality helped me make the switch to a much, much healthier diet. Here's to a long and healthy life! And to boot, a plant based diet is much healthier for our planet, also. Written on November 23, 2008 Summary: Everyone should read this book!! Reading this book could save your life. It is not light reading but it you want the truth about the best diet possible read this. Knowledge is power. Written on November 22, 2008 Summary: I heartily recommend this book. I am a man of 70 years and in excellent health. I'm 5' 10" and weigh 150 pounds. I can still jog 5 miles and not feel tired or short of breath - even after two hours at the gym. My lab test results would suggest that I am a young man. This is NOT genetic good fortune: My mother died of a heart attack at age 58. Heart disease and mental illness runs in the family on my mother's side. Alzheimer's disease and cancer runs in my family on my father's side. Fortunately for me, I was raised in Los Angeles foster care until I emancipated myself at age 15. In foster care, I hardly ever was fed meat or fish. On my own, I simply had better eating hab8ts than most Americans For example, I don't eat butter or margarine. I hardly ever eat in a restaurant. I prepare my own meals that are fairly lite on animal portions and heavy on vegetables, whole grains, and fruit. I drink skim milk and rarely drink anything with added sugar or caffeine in it. The last couple years I have been getting positive reinforcement for my eating habits from several books, written by physicians and PhD's. But after reading "The China Study" I find I can still improve my eating habits. I eat more added fats and more protein than I should, and I could make some better food choices. "The China Study" not only SEEMS sensible, it is well documented. Every assertion is backed up using scientifically valid research methods, and every chapter has a long list of references near the back of the book - just before the index. And the reader doesn't have to have a college education to understand the contents. Of all the health improvement books I have ever read, this one is the best. It is more scientific, better documented, and broader in scope than any of the others - although most of the others were helpful. Written on November 19, 2008 Summary: Breakthrough study on diet and nutrition This book can and will literally change your life and improve the quality of your existence. I found the subject matter and conclusions very compelling. I recommend this book not just to those interested in their health but also to those interested in improving their families' health. |
