The China Study The Most Comprehensive Study of Nutrition Ever Conducted and the Startling Implications for Diet Weight Loss and Long-Term Health Author:T. Colin Campbell, Thomas M. Campbell II This exhaustive presentation of the findings from the China Study conclusively demonstrates the link between nutrition and heart disease, diabetes, and cancer. 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 65 coun... more »ties, representing 2,500 counties across rural China and Taiwan. While revealing that proper nutrition can have a dramatic effect on reducing and reversing these ailments as well as obesity, this text calls into question the practices of many of the current dietary programs, such as the Atkins diet, that enjoy widespread popularity in the West.

I think this book is the best "f*** you" to the dairy/meat industry around. This book doesn't just have the China Study in it - it also references 700 other studies. Studies that pretty much all point to one thing: a low fat vegan diet is the healthiest. It's hard to argue with such evidence. What I also like is that the referenced studies are easily found. I always like to check studies out for myself to see who funded them, what bias was present, etc. It was absolutely wonderful to see that most of the studies were funded by impartial third parties. On top of that, Campbell is coming from a background of believing dairy to be good for us. When he started his career, he was trying to figure out how to get more protein - into livestock, into children, etc. So, he wasn't some crazy vegan who made these studies fit his interpretation. The studies changed his viewpoint due to the overwhelming evidence. I really think this should be a mandatory read in medical school, as well as for high schoolers. It's information that everyone should have!
