Book Reviews of The China Study: The Most Comprehensive Study of Nutrition Ever Conducted and the Startling Implications for Diet, Weight Loss and Long-term Health

Book Review: informative and exciting
Summary: 4 Stars

I am one of those foodies. I love food, I love eating food that is tasty and good for me (yes, I think this is totally possible), I read a lot of nutrition books, have worked with nutritionists, teach yoga, and am into overall health and wellness. I liked that this book didn't give me some simplified answer to my health; it gave me lots of information and let me decide what I should do with it. I would be curious to see more studies on people who have committed to a vegan lifestyle though and will continue in my own personal quest to take the best care of myself I can. It already scares me to see so many people sick with these chronic diseases and I really don't believe that modern/western medicine is ever going to be the solution. It can't possibly. It's up to each one of us to take control of our health and quality of our lives and books like this make me hopeful that I can figure some things out on my own and I have a chance to a long, healthful life.

Summary of The China Study: The Most Comprehensive Study of Nutrition Ever Conducted and the Startling Implications for Diet, Weight Loss and Long-term Health

Referred to as the "Grand Prix of epidemiology" by The New York Times, this study examines more than 350 variables of health and nutrition with surveys from 6,500 adults in more than 2,500 counties across China and Taiwan, and conclusively demonstrates the link between nutrition and heart disease, diabetes, and cancer. While revealing that proper nutrition can have a dramatic effect on reducing and reversing these ailments as well as curbing obesity, this text calls into question the practices of many of the current dietary programs, such as the Atkins diet,?that are widely popular in the West. The politics of nutrition and the impact of special interest groups in the creation and dissemination of public information are also discussed.
