| The one-of-a-kind study of the links between diet, lifestyle, and disease. Directed by Dr. Colin Campbell. It has now been published in a lay version which book I recently received.
Pretty amazing, wondering if anyone else here has read it or intends to. Those who want to plummet their risk of all sorts of cancers as well as heart disease and diabetes should read it. |

| I'll order it from my library, if they have it. Is that the name? |

| Can you summerize the premise please? Since there has been uptillion studies correlating diet, lifestyle and disease, what makes this one 'one of a kind'? |
RE: The China Study

| I read the book he has had out for some time, did not know there was a new one out. I may look for it at some point. If you appreciate Dr. Campbell, you may also appreciate Dr. Joel Fuhrman who was influenced by Campbell's China Study. LL, At the time the study was conducted, they were able to go into villages in China where people's diets were pretty traditional and make analyses based upon the amounts of animal products, etc. The population was not very mobile so it was an opportunity to see how a lifetime of these dietary habits influenced health and cancer rates, etc. |

| Tish, I don't think the book is all that new, simply that I only just got a copy. In fact I became aware of Dr. Campbell and his research as well as others through the documentary "Forks over Knives", which is a kind of easy-pill form of the book. Elvis, yes, that is the title of the book. |

| Marshall, thanks fpr posting the link. I haven't read "The China Study". The info on the site provides a good background. The bit I've read has pretty much convinced me to eat even less animal protein than I do now, if not go veggie completely. |

| I've mentioned it here in the past. There was some discussion, including, of course (if I recall correctly) the usual denials. Maybe the thread is still around. That's what you can depend on here, somebody who doesn't know what they're talking about telling you you don't know what you're talking about. Although it actually hasn't happened on this particular thread. How novel. |

| The usual suspects are too busy beating upon on another over political lies and deceits. |

| Bboy, did the information prompt you to adopt a vegan diet? I am now pondering a life without cheese and finding the prospect undelightful. |
RE: The China Study
| | |
| Thanks, but no thanks, baby, I'm all filled up with diet and exercise advice... |
RE: The China Study
| | |
| Actually it's not a "diet" book, except in the sense that it explains what foods are deadly. The crux of it is that animal-based foods cause disease, without exception. |

| Buit I have had relatives that made it to their nineties who never gave any of this a thought and enjoyed every steak and roast that they put a fork in. So I am relying on genes as long as I can get into my jeans... |

| I'm having a hell of a time with acid reflux so I need to watch the fatty foods anyway. The main problem is eating late in the day, I seem to have almost no ability to curb this. |

| Try eating an apple or half an apple after every meal, taking time to chew thoroughly. It's helped me some, and it's easier to get down than the apple cider vinegar. |

| We have not given up cheese altogether, but we have cut way, way back. A bigger problem in my household is milk. The kids do like some different milks like soy milk, some like the nut milks and coconut milk, but there is a big differential in the cost. Hopefully we can begin phasing dairy milk out again. |

I know what you are going through bboy, but my problem is coffee and I know it. Some days I just crave some coffee, especially when others in the office are brewing it and I can smell it (coffee smells so good!) but every time I drink it lately I get awful hearburn aferward. Oh well, pros vs cons and I only have myself to blame. |

| Apparently animal based protein is more of a hazard than animal based fat. |
