Here is the updated and expanded edition of the best seller 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 University, in partnership with teams in China and England, embarked upon 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 Campbell'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, T. Colin Campbell and his son Thomas M. Campbell, 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.

This heavily expanded edition of their groundbreaking book features brand-new content, including the latest undeniable evidence of the power of a plant-based diet, plus updated information about the changing medical system and how patients can 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.

The new information includes the following:

• Updated research on heart disease, obesity, diabetes, cancer, autoimmune disease, and other diseases
• Updated supplementation recommendations
• A new chapter about the media's coverage, or lack of coverage, of plant-based diet research

A Must Read

This book is one of the best books I have ever read on nutrition and health. It is completely unbiassed in its approach and has studies to back up all of its findings. It reinforced and expanded on much of what I already knew about how we are manipulated by the food and pharmaceutical industries. We cannot rely on even the government to inform us honestly about what is good for us and bad for us. We must educate ourselves if we want to live a long and healthy and happy life. Here's to all of you who, not only read this book but also implement and follow it's guidelines. May you live a long and happy and healthy life.

I thought this was some vegan scare trap at first.

I was extremely skeptical before I actually got this book and I think there are a couple paradigms that are failed to be kept in mind when people read this that he doesn't nessesarily discuss in detail but are huge components that I inferred from the facts presented.
1. Food is Medicine. When you hear about the positive effects from the WFPD diet that he maps out, remember that these foods have been listed to for their huge health benefits. Look into Ayurvedic Medicine if you want to see what I mean, it's a whole practice created around sustaining people that western medicine couldn't help.
2. Magnesium and Potassium intake are huge based on what I can see. I am a keto guy personally and with the diet presented, It balances electrolytes and sets you up for health success and, I feel, is part of the reason that this diet is so effective for the wide arrange of diseases it corrects.
3. The saturated fats he lists in this book are typically derived from meat or cow milk products. I do not think it is fair to villainize saturated fats, when a lot of natural health providers and studies show the basis of a lot of our fat dysfunction is caused by inflammatory markers of overabundance of Omega 6 in ratio with Omega 3.

Carnivore willing to give it a try

i didn't know what this book was and got it on a $5 promotion day because it sounded interesting. I also avoided it till the last of the titles purchased that day because 11.5 hours seemed grueling . I am glad I finally listened to it!

i have type-o caveman blood so I generally eat a lot of meat but also love milk and dairy. the author makes a convincing case for the WFPD diet and I have already started giving it a try.

there is a lot of understandable ax-grinding and the whole book could be summed up in five words (whole-food, plant-based diet) but it is worth the read.

A MUST READ!! Excellent Updates

A MUST READ for everyone interested in improving their health and vitality! I have the first edition in print and thoroughly enjoyed the revised and expanded info in this edition.
