The revised and expanded edition of the bestseller that changed
millions of lives The science is clear. The results are
unmistakable. You can dramatically reduce your risk of cancer,
heart disease, and diabetes just by changing your diet. More than
30 years ago, nutrition researcher T. Colin Campbell and his team
at Cornell, in partnership with teams in China and England,
embarked upon the China Study, the most comprehensive study ever
undertaken of the relationship between diet and the risk of
developing disease. What they found when combined with findings in
Colin's laboratory, opened their eyes to the dangers of a diet high
in animal protein and the unparalleled health benefits of a whole
foods, plant-based diet. In 2005, Colin and his son Tom, now a
physician, shared those findings with the world in The China Study,
hailed as one of the most important books about diet and health
ever written. Featuring brand new content, this heavily expanded
edition of Colin and Tom's groundbreaking book includes the latest
undeniable evidence of the power of a plant-based diet, plus
updated information about the changing medical system and how
patients stand to benefit from a surging interest in plant-based
nutrition. The China Study Revised and Expanded Edition presents a
clear and concise message of hope as it dispels a multitude of
health myths and misinformation. The basic message is clear. The
key to a long, healthy life lies in three things: breakfast, lunch,
and dinner.
2020 Foreword Indie Award Winner in the "Health" Category From the
coauthor of The China Study and author of the New York Times
bestselling follow-up, Whole Despite extensive research and
overwhelming public information on nutrition and health science, we
are more confused than ever-about the foods we eat, what good
nutrition looks like, and what it can do for our health. In The
Future of Nutrition, T. Colin Campbell cuts through the noise with
an in-depth analysis of our historical relationship to the food we
eat, the source of our present information overload, and what our
current path means for the future-both for individual health and
society as a whole. In these pages, Campbell takes on the
institution of nutrition itself, unpacking: * Why the institutional
emphasis on individual nutrients (instead of whole foods) as a
means to explain nutrition has had catastrophic consequences * How
our reverence for "high quality" animal protein has distorted our
understanding of cholesterol, saturated fat, unsaturated fat,
environmental carcinogens, and more * Why mainstream food and
nutrient recommendations and public policy favor corporate
interests over that of personal and planetary health * How we can
ensure that public nutrition literacy can prevent and treat
personal illness more effectively and economically The Future of
Nutrition offers a fascinating deep-dive behind the curtain of the
field of nutrition-with implications both for our health and for
the practice of science itself.
With modern "healthy" diets constantly flip-flopping on what foods
to eat and focusing on restricting calories, individuals can be
left confused, defeated and unsatisfied. This new book by acclaimed
macrobiotic health and nutritional experts Denny and Susan Waxman
leaves all negativity behind and brings to light a positive outlook
on building one healthy habit at a time. "Great health is not
achieved by taking away and restricting-it is achieved by adding
healthier foods and lifestyle practices. One healthy choice leads
to another healthy choice", says Denny Waxman. Readers will find
healthy living easier than ever by learning how to apply these
principles to a broad range of modern lifestyles and having the
ability to go at their own pace. The book includes new recipes from
Susan Waxman and clears up misinformation about food to give you an
understanding of how to achieve your best physical, spiritual and
mental health. The Ultimate Guide to Eating for Longevity is not a
diet fad but based on the world's long-standing civilisations that
have changed very little over time and make it clear that it is
possible to live a long healthy life.

The #1 New York Times bestseller answers: What if one simple change
could save you from heart disease, diabetes, and cancer? For
decades, that question has fascinated a small circle of impassioned
doctors and researchers--and now, their life-changing research is
making headlines in the hit documentary Forks Over Knives. Their
answer? Eat a whole-foods, plant-based diet--it could save your
life. It may overturn most of the diet advice you've heard--but the
experts behind Forks Over Knives aren't afraid to make waves. In
his book Prevent and Reverse Heart Disease, Dr. Caldwell Esselstyn
explained that eating meat, dairy, and oils injures the lining of
our blood vessels, causing heart disease, heart attack, or stroke.
In The China Study, Dr. Colin Campbell revealed how cancer and
other diseases skyrocket when eating meat and dairy is the
norm--and plummet when a traditional plant-based diet persists. And
more and more experts are adding their voices to the cause: There
is nothing else you can do for your health that can match the
benefits of a plant-based diet. Now, as Forks Over Knives is
introducing more people than ever before to the plant-based way to
health, this accessible guide provides the information you need to
adopt and maintain a plant-based diet. Features include: Insights
from the luminaries behind the film--Dr. Neal Barnard, Dr. John
McDougall, The Engine 2 Diet author Rip Esselstyn, and many others
Success stories from converts to plant-based eating--like San'Dera
Prude, who no longer needs to medicate her diabetes, has lost
weight, and feels great! The many benefits of a whole-foods,
plant-based diet--for you, for animals and the environment, and for
our future A helpful primer on crafting a healthy diet rich in
unprocessed fruits, vegetables, legumes, and whole grains,
including tips on transitioning and essential kitchen tools 125
recipes from 25 champions of plant-based dining--from Blueberry Oat
Breakfast Muffins and Sunny Orange Yam Bisque to Garlic Rosemary
Polenta and Raspberry-Pear Crisp--delicious, healthy, and for every
meal, every day.
This book is all about the single most powerful move that humans
can make to promote health, reduce obesity, lower the cost of
health care, nurture our fragile environment, conserve our energy
resources, feed the world's steadily growing population, and
greatly reduce the suffering of animals in factory farms all over
the world. As Dr. T. Colin Campbell says, "It turns out that if we
eat the way that promotes the best health for ourselves, we also
promote the best health for the planet." Like a blinding flash of
the obvious, the single most viable solution to all of these issues
is an aggressive move in the direction of consuming much more
whole, plant-based foods--not necessarily becoming vegetarian or
vegan. This book clearly explains how and why we began eating the
wrong food for our species and provides helpful guidelines for
getting us back on the road to vibrant health and effortless
weight-loss. Fortunately, despite the incredible complexity of our
current dilemma, the solution is refreshingly simple. It simply
requires educating yourself, making better choices in what you eat,
and then share all that you have learned with everyone you care
about. There has never been anything more important in the history
of the world.
In 2005, T. Colin Campbell, PhD, and Thomas Campbell, MD,
co-authored The China Study, in which they detailed the ground
breaking research results showing that a whole food, plant based
diet has the potential to prevent and reverse many chronic
diseases. The China Study became a worldwide phenomenon, selling
more than a million copies and inspiring countless readers to
reinvigorate their health by making better food choices. In The
China Study Diet, Dr. Thomas Campbell, goes beyond the why and
shows you how to make the transition and enjoy the journey with
practical guidance and a simple plan to make a whole food, plant
based lifestyle easy and sustainable.
