The China Study by T. Colin Campbell, PhD and Thomas M. Campbell II, MD

 No book has shaken my worldview like this one! The China Study is well written, interesting and informative and is the most comprehensive study of nutrition ever conducted! It conclusively demonstrates the link between nutrition and heart disease, cancer, and diabetes. The study examines more than 350 variables of health and nutrition. The information in this book is clear and concise. It was completely eye opening to read animal protein is singled out as the primary cause of most western diseases. I was also shocked to read about the tests with rats and how they could turn the growth of cancer on or off just by the amount of the animal protein casein they fed the rats!! This book has definitely rocked my world and has helped me completely change the way I eat and on to a road of health!! Once you make the switch to a whole foods plant based diet, your taste buds will change for good! You will feel more energy and a new zest for life!

From back cover..."The science is clear. The results are unmistakable. Change your diet and dramatically reduce your risk of cancer, heart disease, diabetes and obesity."

By any measure, America's health is failing. We spend far more, per capita, on health care than any other society in the world, and yet two-thirds of Americans are overweight, and more than 15 million Americans have diabetes. We fall prey to heart disease as often as we did thirty years ago. The War on Cancer, launched in the 1970's, has been a miserable failure. Half of all Americans have a health problem that requires taking a prescription drug every week, and more than 100 million Americans have high cholesterol.

To make matters worse, we are leading our youth down a path of disease earlier and earlier in their lives. One-third of the children in this country are overweight or at risk of becoming overweight. Our kids are increasingly falling prey to a form of diabetes that used to be seen only in adults, and children now take more prescription drugs than ever before. 

These issues all come down to three things: breakfast, lunch, and dinner. The China Study presents a clear and concise message of hope as it dispels a multitude of health myths and misinformation: if you want to be healthy, change your diet."
