The China Study: The Most Comprehensive Study of Nutrition Ever Conducted and the Startling Implications for Diet, Weight Loss and Long-term Health,   ISBN:9781932100662

Customer Rating: 

this book is not about going vegan or vegetarian, it's about providing facts, and that scares a lot of people.
the fact that what you eat and how that food got to your plate greatly impacts you is very important.
Just on the news this week they were talking about how 50% of the US population will be obese or overweight soon and how obesity overtaking smoking as the number 1 killer in America.

you don't need to stop eating meat to benefit from this book, but greatly cutting down on the amount and being very careful of where it comes from will be very beneficial.

what's great about this book is that it provides scientific data from decades of research and the study is still ongoing.

I'd also highly recommend the movie Food Inc which Martha Stewart just showcased on her show this week.

All my life I scoffed at vegetarianism, even though both my brilliant adult children have been on it for decades. Stupid of me. But THE CHINA STUDY opened my eyes. Late in life all right, I'm 85, but for about 20 years since my triple bypass I've steered clear of red meat. Ate lots of fish, fruits, veggies and nuts. My numbers were pretty good and at least I haven't had any more heart procedures, but I still noticed a sharp rise in energy within 72 hours of going vegan. As a result, I've gone off of several of my medications and continue to feel fine without pumping so many toxic pills into my body.


Unless you're part of the food or medical community, THE CHINA STUDY will blow your mind. You owe it to yourself to read it--right away.

This book has immediate eye-opening impact. I read 3 chapters the first night and the next morning I was so convinced by the research and evidence presented by Dr. Campbell that I became an instant "vegan". Granted I was already a vegetarian but I loved eating my homemade yogurt, milk kefir, and some cheeses. You may say you have heard it all before (e.g., a diet high in fruits, vegetables and grains is the healthiest way of eating) but Dr. Campbell displays his life time of scientific research and personal experience in such a factual manner that you cannot deny the truth of it and you cannot deny the detrimental effects that eating animal products (including eggs and especially dairy) has on your body. Dr. Collin's son, Thomas M. Campbell, helps display this information in a wonderfully readable and convincing manner. I was eager to read it from cover to cover (and I highly recommend you do the same to get the full impact). I originally checked the book out of the library and half way through it I knew I wanted to own it so I purchased 3 copies from Amazon so I could have loaners for friends and family.

After waiting for a couple of weeks for my item to arrive, I checked the package tracking. The seller had taken the item to USPS immediately following my purchase of the item, and USPS stated that it was delivered to my address two days later. After checking with my apt leasing office, the local PO, and everyone in between, I was basically informed by USPS that I have no recourse to recover my money, as according to them, the package was delivered. The seller was as helpful as could be under the circumstances, and assisted me with obtaining tracking info, as well as making suggestions for contacting local POs, etc. However, I will NEVER purchase a product that is being shipped USPS again and recommend that others don't either. The USPS was unhelpful, slow, and pretty rude. I have never had these issues with UPS or FedEx, and I order online fairly regularly (although this experience makes me hesitate to continue doing so.)

Great book with solid research. It is opened my eyes to a plant based diet.
