China Study: Plant-Based Nutrition and its Scientific Rationale

If we all knew what has long been accepted in science: There is a direct connection between diet and the development of chronic diseases! Renowned nutritionist T. Colin Campbell led the China Study, the most comprehensive study of nutrition, lifestyle and disease in the history of biomedical research. Two Western universities and the Chinese Academy for Preventive Medicine were involved. The study shows clear connections between animal protein-rich diet and the development of chronic diseases. In order to underpin the benefits of a vegan diet, the authors evaluated hundreds of other nutritional studies. They summarize their results in this book in an understandable and clear way.

Our eating habits influence our health, but also the development of cancer, coronary heart disease, diabetes, obesity and autoimmune diseases such as multiple sclerosis and rheumatism. The authors give specific advice on how we can successfully combat previous health problems and chronic diseases through a vegan diet.
