The China Study offers conclusive evidence that a change of diet can dramatically reduce the risks of heart disease, diabetes, and obesity. The book is based on the most comprehensive study of nutrition ever conducted, a 20-year joint project between Cornell University, Oxford University, and the Chinese Academy of Preventive Medicine. The study surveyed the eating habits of 6,500 adults from all over China and Taiwan and found a direct correlation between diet and disease. Author T. Colin Campbell, the study's project director, provides an intelligent, well-documented analysis of the study's results, an analysis that explodes the most common American dietary myths. In addressing the dietary sources of the most common diseases, including cancer, Campbell unleashes a no-holds-barred attack on the commercial interests that profit by selling the American public unhealthy food. He also shows how readers can use the study's results to change their diets and improve their health.

Thanks for your understanding:
I must thank Amazon for their understanding and support. I made a mistake of ordering two Audio CD'S instead of a book.

Thank you for your support. David
Are we in control of cancer and heart disease?:
Author Colin Campbell concludes that the answer to cardiovascular disease, cancer, obesity, etc... is known and within our control. I was well aware of how the formula industry is destructive to breastfeeding. I am familiar with how pharmaceutical companies have their own interests in mind when it comes to research and your health isn't their priority. I have noticed that in every chapter in my medical books suggests more fiber, less fats, more produce, etc... but without emphasis, just a... more info
Science based nutrition.:
The author gives compelling evidence on the correlation between nutrition and human illnesses. In addition, he understands that the scientific community in the western society doesn't embrace the idea of his study. Although, 40 years of his research is published with real data that one can decipher it's volatility.
