The China Study

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

Campbell provides a well-researched, daunting portrait of health in America. Two-thirds of adults are obese in the U.S. An increased number of children are being diagnosed with obesity and diabetes. These are facts.

The rate of health decline is staggering. Campbell correlates today’s nutrition to heart disease, diabetes and cancer. He also delves into the politics of the food industry.

The food industry is incredibly broken. When the US is so affluent why is it one of the sickest countries with the worst health care?

From a personal perspective, I love food. Once you delve into the food industry and your eyes are opened to what is going on it makes it so hard. What are we supposed to eat? After learning more about the ties of nutrition to disease I have cleaned up my eating habits considerably, I now think of everything I'm eating. But, I will admit, I still have a long way to go.
