At last a nutritien book based on fact and not on "opinion science". I have read more than my share of nutition books, while most claim to be new and revealing science, end up being nothing more than yet anoth fad...this book outlines basic fundamental concepts based on research and inteligence. A must read for those who care about health.

It seems every diet has a new food that should be avoided. This diet said red meat will kill you, that diet said you should eat nothing but red meat. There is more confusion than actual truth. This book is the only health book I have read that has actual FACTS backed up by over 180 different studies, and they all show the same result, people are just afraid to accept it. I changed my eating habits after reading this book and feel healthier and more at ease with what I eat. This is the only book that will show you fact after fact that all point to one result that actually makes sense. I highly recommend reading this. Even though I was skeptical at first, by the end of the book I knew what I could do to improve my health with confidence. If you're looking for any recipe books to help with the change, I've tagged a great one with my review.

This book is for those left brainers who need well documented information before making a dramatic shift in their dietary habits. I have never read such a comprehensive and entertaining book that provides our world with a true solution instead of flakey and fairy ideas that sound great but are not possible to apply. Dr. Campbell is a well renowned scientist and has hit the nail on the head with this book. I've been relatively healthy my whole life, but it was not until I came across this work that I became passionate about nutrition without being paranoid. This book won't try to "sell" you a diet pill, potion or a magical herb. It will give you simple tested principles that if applied on a broad scale have the potential to raise the level of health of our desperately ill society. If you currently suffer from health problems, or even if you think you are healthy, you can still optimize your health with this information. I only have two critiques: 1. Due to the heavy research oriented nature of the topic and Dr. Campbell's life, the book can come across as quite "sciencey" to a lot of people that I have recommended it to you. That's not a bad thing, it just means that the average person who doesn't have some sort of nutrition or research knowledge may find it hard to get through in some parts. Just SKIP the heavy parts, and use the conclusions they come to :) 2.Again, because of the excellent documentation in the book...it can be quite long. Overall, it's a great book for any good library to have if you are at all interested in the link between Optimal health and Diet. Enjoy the read and thanks for reading my review. CB

Well written life story by a top nutrition researcher. His insights will make you stop and think (only if you want to) about your eating habits. Excellent health read. A must read if you genuinely care about yourself.

Lots of well researched objective professional information about the correlation between nutrition and illness. The benefits of eating the right foods include: losing weight, lowering blood cholesterol, preventing or even reversing heart disease, treat diabetes, prevent kidney stones, alleviate symptoms of multiple sclerosis, lower the risk of cancer, etc... Statistics revealing potential dramatic improvement in health.

I like hearing the whole story and apparently Campbell has played fast and loose with his data. I suspect he's an impressive scientist but appears to be lacking on statistical interpretations and analysis. For one view of the other side: http://rawfoodsos.com/2010/07/07/the-china-study-fact-or-fallac/

The author Dr. Campbell unequivocally explains, as supported by thorough research at the highest level why we are getting cancer, heart attacks, and a multitude of other diseases and how to avoid getting these ailments. A profound, truely life changing read that sadly few will ever know about.

Fact-filled book and a great complement to any bookshelf :) A little overpriced compared to what you would find it for on Amazon.ca :(

The information in this book is backed by a great deal of research. A view behind the public veil is provided, showing the biases and influence of large corporations and organizations.

This book has the power to solve so many problems we face concerning our health and lifestyles. Everyone should read this. I have began incorporating Campbell's ideas into my menues and am absolutely loving it. I'm excited about food and am spreading the excitement to everyone I love. This book will change your life.
