Product Description
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.

 Top notch information on nutrition. April 6, 2007

As the audio book is not even available yet, the previous reviewer was applying his comments to the book. I respectfully disagree with his assumption that the book has too much information. I wanted even more.
I personally have found the book the most important study I have ever read on nutrition and recommend it to each person wanting to take quality control of their health and life. I expect the audio book to be every bit as dynamic a presentation as is the book.
Compelling Must Read about Nutrition and Diet: Reverses our Assumptions on Diet and Nutrition!! July 26, 2007

This book changed my life -- I am a Breast Cancer Survivor. The science and data behind the conclusions are some of the best information available to dispell basic knowledge and assumptions about nutrition. We have a serious nutrition and food supply issue in the US and this book explains the link between this problem and our high rates of disease and cancer. The better results in foreign countries are compelling. This book was recommended to me by an MD cancer survivor who manages cancer clinical trials. I hope this book is the beginning of fundamental re-thinking of nutrition in the US, it should be!!

I am so pleased to have such solid information on the diet and lifestyle connection to health, and to various diseases that plaque so many. I like that this is sicentificly supported, rather than just another diet book. I find it helpful that it is explained so clearly that anyone can understand how the results of the studies are done, and that it is so clearly related to our daily choices of the food we eat. I finished reading the book last week, and yesterday (8/02/07) I received my copy of the audio version of the China Study. I have just begun listening to it, after loading it into a playlist on my ipod. I'm near the end of CD 1 of 6 in all. It is very good so far. I like that I can listen while doing other things, and hear the information again, there is so much info that is worthy of hearing more than once. The reinforcement of this type of information, helps me in my commitment to a healthier diet.
I look forward to hearing T. Colin Campbell in person speaking next month at Dr. John A. McDougall's advanced study weekend in Santa Rosa, CA. It is the very lifestyle he is refering to in his book/audio book.
EVERYONE NEEDS TO LISTEN TO THE AUDIOBOOK OR READ THE BOOK August 16, 2007

Everyone needs to have this information. People have to save themselves and stop relying on the medical industry to do it. We all have the power to make better food choices that will improve our health and vitality. The information presented gives so many compelling reasons to wake up and smell the manure (stop eating animal based foods)! I wish I would have been open to this information when I was younger, but at least I can steer my 6 year old in the right direction.
We are transitioning to a whole food plant based diet and incorporating more physical activity into our lifestyles.

I use audiobooks when I take long trips and this was certainly worth it. It is abridged but I don't think I would have been interested in the unabridged version (too much information). The detail was great and I can feel confident discussing this issue with my patients based on what I learned from this audiobook. I would recommend it to anyone.
