Read this book if you want to make an incredible change in your life and in the lives of others. Everyone should read this book. With the host of ailments plaguing people nowadays, our greatest alli is knowledge from reputable sources, that is key. The information presented in this book is responsibly sourced and based on scientific studies not funded by bias organizations. I’m constantly quoting the book to others in hopes that they’ll make positive changes now that clear evidence is available. It’s the best thing you can do for yourself, your health, and our environment. I’m doing it to live longer, healthier, and in response to the detrimental effects of over farming and mistreatment of animals. We need to give back to the planet and we can do that by changing the way we eat. Our dollar is our vote. I also purchased the cookbook, and have been completely delighted by my new food choices, and haven’t regretted a thing. People are in shock, having been a former mega carnivore and dairy consumer for my entire life. It’s never too late to reverse bad habits, and the improvement in your whole being is undeniable. If you’re interested in weightloss, that absolutely will happen. You’ll feel stronger and more focused, and the need for naps are a thing of the past. My two and four year old eat the same way I do and I know that I am doing the absolute best for them that I can by feeding them plant based diets. Their tastes have changed (very quickly) and they are completely into green smoothies and all vegetables. There are no excuses when it comes to nutrition for children, do it for them, do it for yourself, and do it for the people waiting on the wing, curious about your new lifestyle. You’ll inspire many and thats what brings about change. I could go on and on about this, but I’ll stop now, read the book, it’s easy, and you don’t have to have a doctorate to understand the science behind the research. He’s extremely clear about the proper way to improve your health. If you’re reading this, then you are already headed in a positive direction, good for you!
Everyone(including and almost more importantly physicians) should read this book. In college I played 3 sports a day while eating little other than fast food, frozen pizzas and Busch light. I have always been in pretty good shape and never been even close to overweight.When I recently became a little older(30), and started looking into how to eat healthy, much of the most available information was very conflicting. Was the healthiest way to eat and live Paleo, raw, Bulletproof, Vegan, or something else. I read though “How Not to Die” -Micheal Greger, and came away more than surprised that there is a very simple, proven(supported in hundreds of ways by thousands of studies over the past 50 years or more) way that everyone should eat whether they are sick or not. Both Dr. Greger’s book and The China Study are partially summaries of hundreds of research studies and that is what it took for me to be convinced. These are very different from “diet” books that are published almost solely to make money. I am convinced that both Campbell and Greger only care about getting the actual scientific evidence to the public. I know Dr. Greger gives all the money from his book sales to his notprofit website(nutritionfacts.org) But just read for yourself and see.I began with the WFPB diet about 2 months ago and follow it probably 90% of the time(I don’t let it interfere much in social situations, and still have a few beers). While I felt great before starting, and didn’t have much to improve physically, the only difference I have noticed so far is that I am starting to see my abs(which I have never really been able to do.) Currently have a 4 pack but am pretty confident it will turn into 8 in a few months. Also while my B/P and cholesterol were “normal”(for the “healthy” american) last time I had them checked, I’m pretty sure they will be much lower the next time, and close to as actually healthy as they can be.(Edit- 4 months later B/P down to 105/63 from 132/80)The last quarter of this book, especially the new edition had some pretty amazing information including a multiple decade long inside look at how Big Medicine, Big Pharma, the government, the meat and dairy industries, and even universities have prevented the actual science from reaching the public, but allow their own business/industry supporting versions.One amazing example is how Dr. Esselstyn(a previous famous cardiac surgeon at the Cleveland Clinic) now treats many of the senior staff at the clinic with the WFPB lifestyle change, but is basically prevented in many ways by the clinic from treating the public. The senior staff know the actual best treatment for CAD but will not support it for the public in place of meds and surgery!I am actually starting medical school at a well known university in two months, and am excited to be a physician that will treat people in the best way possible, based on a summation of all the research(including the wholistic type). And that may be starting them on a WFPB diet(even though I’m pretty sure I will not learn that in med school).”How did we get to a place where the companies that profit from out sickness are the ones telling us how to be healthy; where the companies that profit from our food choices are telling us what to eat; where the public’s hard-earned money is being spent by the government to boost the drug industry’s profits; and where there is more distrust than trust of our government’s policies on foods, drugs, and health? How did we get to a place where Americans are so confused about what is healthy that they no longer care?”In this book Campbell backs up all of these statements that are very sad but true. Read it, be open minded, and I bet it will change your life for the better.
An absolute must-read! Thank you, Dr Campbell. In 2005, at the age of 37, I was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis and have suffered unspeakable pain every day since then. Doctors recommended I start Enbrel injections, saying it was either that, or end up on a wheelchair. At no point did any healthcare professional ask me what I was eating. I ate anything that was pre-made, like pastas, burgers, cookies, breads, chips, pastries of all kinds, Mexican and Italian food with lots of butter and oils, drank sodas and sweet tea every single day, with the occasional “healthy” meal to (supposedly) bring balance. I WISH I had known about the simple truths Dr. Campbell presents in this book! It took my body THREE days to start feeling remarkably better once I radically eliminated all the poisons I was eating, and fully embraced a plant-based diet. I made two rules for myself in this new lifestyle: first, I would never go hungry, and second, I would only eat what I like and enjoy. Well, I have discovered an entire world of delicious and surprisingly filling foods! Because I’m actually able to handle and chop ingredients now that the pain is almost completely gone (I’ve been doing this for 2 months now), I find it fun to prepare meals, actually! It’s been waaaay easier than I would’ve thought!The healing that is taking place in my body since breaking off all ties to toxic foods and enjoying simple recipes using fruits, vegetables, brown rice, beans, and lots of green leafs, etc. is nothing short of miraculous! I feel energetic, younger, in a better mood, better able to handle stressful situations and just happier!Please read this book and share it with friends and family. I also recommend Dr. Esselstyn and Dr. McDougall’s books. They’ve changed my life. As far as films, I’m forever grateful for the story of Phil on “Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead” which inspired me to get off my butt and do this already. Also, “That Sugar Film” is a must see. But if you want a summary of what’s on this wonderful book, The China Study, watch “Forks Over Knives” on Netflix.You CAN reverse disease! I’m living proof. I feel healthier but I also have the improved cholesterol reports to prove it. I just can’t wait to get a new RA panel to compare with the old, terrible one.Break up with processed foods, dairy and meats the same way you’d break off a relationship with a toxic person. Just walk away and never look back. You’ll love the new you. 🙂
Ok for the most part. I really liked the China Study and after reading it I have mostly converted to a Whole Food Plant Based diet.I thought “Whole” would be more information about diet and research on diet or information about the government and food industries.The large bulk of this book is about the philosophy of reductionist vs. wholelistic methods of looking at food and nutrients. He goes into detail about how this philosophy influences all aspects of American life – Ad nauseam.I haven’t read the whole book yet and the second have is a little better to wade through.I don’t mind knowing how the government and industries work and conspire to make profits at the cost of our health, but I wish there were more than a few examples instead of broad statements. He often says he could give many examples, but only gives one or two if that.Still, I like Campell and his views think there is value to the book.
Great Content – Poor Printing. The content is perfect, but I have an earlier edition printed on thicker, white paper and all black text.The revised edition I received is printed on thin, textured, beige paper with both grey & black text. It’s difficult to read and not as nice to hold.
Life Changing – Amazing, Detailed, Easy Read. T. Colin Campbell does an amazing job of providing scientific proof of why a WFPB Diet can be extremely beneficial. Although this book is packed with scientific information and details, it truly was an easy read for me.I bought a copy 5+ years ago, read it and then borrowed it out. Because I felt the book was of such benefit to the individual I borrowed it to, I never asked for it back, but just bought an additional copy. I’m now reading and highlighting this book for a second time.I know this book has changed my life for the better! Following a WFPB Diet as explained in this book has helped me lose weight, improve my eye sight, decreased inflammation, among other positive health effects!This book is great as a gift as well!
China study book. Great and excellent book to read . Explaining the real truth of food in American eating.lots off factual knowledge
A Must-Read for Health and Nutrition Awareness. This is a very interesting book that provides valuable insights into health and nutrition. It presents excellent methods to take better care of our well-being and reinforces the idea that “you are what you eat”.The research and findings in this book are eye-opening, offering a comprehensive look at how diet affects our long-term health, weight management, and overall well-being. The scientific approach makes it a credible and essential read for anyone looking to improve their lifestyle through better nutrition.📌 Would I recommend it? Absolutely! This book is full of practical knowledge and scientific evidence that can positively impact your health choices.
An important contribution to Health. This is an excellent description of scientific (evidence-based) impact of nutrition on health. There are a lot of data provided in figures with extensive technicalreferences. It describes the importance of whole food plant based diet for the benefit of healthy lifestyle. In addition, it provides scientific data on the advantage of plant based diet in the mitigation of chronic diseases. I highly recommend reading this book for anyone interested in living a good quality of life
Change your diet, change your mood. A great read for anyone who suffers from aches and pains. I changed my diet from highly-processed foods to “whole foods” and found my legs didn’t ache from working 9-hour-days, my stomach wasn’t as pronounced and I lost 15 lbs. I feel less sluggish and a little happier.
