Publisher's summary

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

Must Read for Health

I didn't want to read "another diet book." I could literally open a diet book store with all the books I have bought about that subject. But a friend shoved this book into my hands and said I must read it, and so after letting it sit by my bedside for several weeks, I looked to see if I could get it on Audible, and sure enough it was here. I started reading and listening simultaneously . She told me it would change my life, and so it did.

It is not a diet book so much as a treatise on what different foods do for us, or do TO us. It came at the right time for me as I had taken an unexplainable hiatus from pretty much a lifelong habit of eating healthy and my health was starting to suffer.

It gets a little technical in parts but frankly, I've read so many books about food and nutrition that I could cut through all that pretty fast.

So here I am, eating better than I ever have, and planning on doing it for the rest of my life. I don't have that many years left, being as they say, a Senior Citizen, but I don't want to live even one of my remaining days sick. This is the only book I've read on the subject that makes complete sense to me. Dr. Campbell summed up how to do it on one page. It is so easy to follow. If everyone would eat this way and get adequate exercise, illness would be radically reduced on this planet.

Life Changing Book

Read the 1st Edition, totally changed my life. Glad to read the 2nd Edition. Read 50 plus books a year, still remains the best book I have ever read.

Everyone should be made aware of this!

If there’s one nutrition book whose knowledge should be shared with the whole world, it is this one. I admire the honesty and integrity of Dr Campbell and the courage and perseverance that he has demonstrated through his entire life and career. He has taken the high road in discovering the truth and sharing that truth to the public, despite the huge barriers that were put in his way from academia, industry, and government. He has stayed the course to tell the truth, no matter how difficult it is and despite the torrent of activity to try and suppress him.
The book is very technical and scientific in parts, which may lose the reader’s interest, however it is good to listen through to the end.
Anyone struggling with or has the potential for heart disease, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, cancer, MS should most definitely listen to the Drs findings.
This book has inspired me to eat a Whole Food Plant Based diet. It won’t be easy to eliminate meat and dairy from my diet, but I am going to do my very best to do so, and this book armed me with all of the reasons that convince me to do so. I hope that others are inspired to do so as well.
Thank-you Dr Campbell!

Must read

Life changing information. A must read for all. I have already made changes to my nutrition thanks to Dr Campbell

Very informative

This book really makes you understand why a plant based diet is key to maintaining good health.

Should be required reading!

Honestly, every high school student should be required to read and be aware of this information.

Amazing Information

This book was incredibly helpful in understanding the positive or negative health effects of our food choices. The amount of data to back up this information is astounding. Anyone who wants to live a longer healthier life should read this book.

Blown away!

Although at times very scientific and seemingly boring, every chapter is integrated with the next. There is so much solid, scientific information contained in this book that you find yourself wrapped up in it and unable to stop listening. The information is mind boggling. The evidence is fascinating. If you haven't already contemplated switching your life style to a WFPB diet, you will by the end of this book.

Loved it! Drop everything and read it ASAP

This book is a must read and shares scientifically proven facts that everyone should know about regarding health. So great to hear that the author stand up to the greed and corrupt medical industry in the US.

If you are sick and don't know where to turn, read this book.

Who else would have written this? Thank you Campbell and Campbell!
I'm so grateful for all the doctors and scientists who put their necks on the chopping block so that we could have this information. Because of these people I expect never to be at the mercy of the medical establishment for any of the avoidable diet related diseases. I can take control of my health! Something I never would have known without this book.
Thank you.
