Well, I just read the book and now feel like every time I eat any “animal based protein” I’m poisoning myself. Colin Campbell’s The China Study is full of testing evidence: on rats, mice and people. And it’s all spread out over more than 30 years. His story is compelling and really seems to make sense.

Basically, Americans are being killed by what he calls “diseases of affluence”: cancers, heart disease, liver disease and diabetes. These diseases are all literally “fed” by what we eat. And our diets are heavily weighted to included animal based proteins in the form of meats, dairy and a lot of processed food. The folks in China and other less affluent countries are eating a lot more “plant based proteins” and they don’t have suffer from the diseases that’re killing us. Read the book, it’ll change your eating habits.
