The revised and expanded edition of the bestseller 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, in partnership with teams in China and England, embarked upon the China Study, 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 Colin’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, Colin and his son Tom, 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.

Featuring brand new content, this heavily expanded edition of Colin and Tom’s groundbreaking book includes the latest undeniable evidence of the power of a plant-based diet, plus updated information about the changing medical system and how patients stand to 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.

Incendiary Refresher Course

ByDavid WinebergTOP 1000 REVIEWERon December 4, 2016

Format: HardcoverVerified Purchase

-There is a mountain of scientific evidence to show that the healthiest diet you can possibly consume is a high carbohydrate diet.
-The past 60 years have been a celebration of chemicals and technology instead of diet and prevention. So we don’t die from heart disease as often, but we still get it at about the same rates. Those who have bypass surgery do not have fewer heart attacks than those who do not.
-Calcium builds strong bones, but cow’s milk weakens them, as osteoporosis. Americans, Australians and New Zealanders drink the most milk, and have the most bone fractures from middle age on.
-One of the biggest health hoaxes in history is the nutrient supplement industry.
-The health damage from doctors’ ignorance of nutrition is astounding.

Welcome back to The China Study, still straight-shooting, still dramatic, and about 70 pages longer in the new edition. This book provides more training in the health effects of food than MDs get in all their years of education. The clinical studies, the case histories and the science are all here in plain, direct language. It is a very hard book to put down. The facts, usually contrary to everything we’ve been taught, keep coming fast and hard.

The reason the facts are contrary is of course because of the usual suspects: Big Ag, Big Pharma and Big Processors. They have corrupted our universities with grants, infiltrated government agencies to keep the truth at bay, and spend billions advertising their false promises. We grow up with their falsehoods, and we believe in them. Those who try to speak out are isolated, shunned, removed and fired. It is all examined in you-are-there detail, because it all happened to Colin Campbell and other (once) highly-regarded doctors he profiles.

Campbell’s basic premise is that animal protein destroys our internal ecosystem. A Whole Food, Plant-Based diet not only maintains better health, it can even reverse damage. The scientific proof is endless – and so are the defenders of the SAD – Standard American Diet - that is about one third animal, between meat and dairy.

When I read the first China Study ten years ago, I immediately went back online and ordered a whole case of them. I then mailed them out to friends all over, preceded by an e-mail warning and my review. That’s how impressed I was. This second edition forced me to reread it. In so doing, I came across several strong new claims and rushed to the first edition, only to find they were already there. So this edition is as much a badly needed refresher as a new discovery. Glad they made me do it.

Life Changing

ByJudith Sponselon May 8, 2017

Format: Audio CDVerified Purchase

It is a long book, so I recommend audio format. I listened to it during my morning and afternoon commute. It is LIFE changing!! After just a few weeks, my fiance's blood pressure went from super-high to normal (checked at the cardiologist today). If you want good health and have a good chance to reverse chronic disease with good solid research behind the claims -- you must read/listen to this book!! The first part is more technical but insanely informative, but bear with it and listen all the way through. You won't be the same. I'm 16 pounds lighter and eat like crazy and have never felt better! Wish I had this when I was 20 rather than getting this information at 62. But - It's never to late to start!!

I highly recommend this book for ANYONE looking for science to back ...

ByNoreen Baldwinon April 13, 2017

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

This book is a wealth of information about our American diet, and how it directly impacts our health. Seeing the correlation between our diet and disease is eye opening, and is tough to dismiss. I highly recommend this book for ANYONE looking for science to back up the argument that a vegan diet is what is best for our bodies. Dr. Campbell is thorough, without being judgmental or preachy.

Nutrition uprooted - read about the science that has been masked by big industry

ByPaul Solton February 17, 2017

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

Great book that uncovers how much of an impact nutrition plays on our daily lives. It's more than you think!

This book along with Eat to Live, Presto, and How Not to Die have changed my outlook on health and the direct impact that nutrition imposes on being health.

I bought 20 of them and was delighted they got here before Christmas :)

Bymeon December 18, 2016

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

Bought 20 of these books for Christmas presents. If i have any left over i will give to anyone I talk to that has an honest desire to live a long healthy life. I tell everyone to just read the introduction, that will defiantly get them interested in the book and won't be able to put it down. So awesome, i wish everyone was aware of the information in this scientific based book.

Veggies & fruits - the king of diets!

ByRewaon July 23, 2017

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

My mother was a dietician, so we were pretty much pounded w/ daily reminders to - EAT YOUR VEGGIES! Before I read this book, I wasn't much of wkly red-meat eater, but more chicken & seafood, but even that was limited. So, what this book had to emphasize wasn't that farfetch for me to believe. The research compared to other self-proclaimed diets, like that stupid Atkin's, now Alkaline, among others, is the BEST I have ever read. And despite the amount of pgs, i read the whole dang book b/c it was so compelling & very interesting. What I love about this book is he isn't promoting a specific regimen or diet products to buy, he's giving sound advice on why eating more veggies & fruits are more healthier for everyone & our dear, overpolluted environment.

Now, will this make me go completely vegan? Of course not. I tried for 2wks just to see & what did I find out...1) you better have a very LARGE freezer to store veggies & 2) Lots of various spices to do various dishes to compensate for the natural flavors enhanced by some meat items. It's unrealistic for me, I do love eggs & cheese on some occasions, also shrimp. BUT I'll definitely add more veggies to my meal, rather than rice. I think it's great if one can go completely vegan, but gosh, some dishes are SOoooo dang good w/ certain meats, like your simple turkey- bacon sandwich. And it's so quick to make, to try to make a BLT w/o bacon, hmm, very limiting & probably yucky. Overall, if a person is interested in changing their diet, then this book is a terrific reference & motivator to reduce the meats daily & eat more fiber!

A must read. Written by a true scientist and researcher this book is medicine and nutritional based evidence, period. On top of that it describes today's american medical world with it's full blown economical and political complicated associations. Absolutely 100% recommended, a true eye opener.
