This exhaustive presentation of the findings from the China Study conclusively demonstrates the link between nutrition and heart disease, diabetes, and cancer. 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. While revealing that proper nutrition can have a dramatic effect on reducing and reversing these ailments as well as obesity, this text calls into question the practices of many of the current dietary programs, such as the Atkins diet, that enjoy widespread popularity in the West. The impact of the politics of nutrition and the efforts of special interest groups on the creation and dissemination of public information on nutrition are also discussed.

#A must read if you are committed to enjoying good health and reversing disease (2010-03-21) March 2010This study provides empirical evidence with surveys from 6,500 adults in 65 counties, representing 2,500 counties and all across China. The authors exhaustively will dawg the reader to conclude that a diet of greens, fruits and plant protein is the best choice while linking cancer to animal protein including dairy milk. Being mostly vegan, this is not difficult for me however for the typical US family with children, it takes a lot of determination to accomplish this but well worth t...

#The China Study (2010-03-21) This book stands out for its enlightenment of the bodily functions regarding diet and long term good health. It reveals the importance of healthy eating and how vital nutrition is to the betterment of life. The fact that cancer and many other diseases have a direct connection to the lack of good nutrition is defined so wonderfully in this book. It is changing my selection of the foods I consume now and I regard nutrition with greater understanding. I ve not finished the book, but I will be very soon and I will pass it on to my children hoping this wil...

#A life changing book (2010-03-20) This is one of the most important books of my life and it will become an increasingly important book for Americans who need an alternative to the traditional health care system. If you want to be healthy, stay healthy and avoid doctors and hospitals, this book is a must read. I believe it is the solution to a million global problems. Make this book your priority.

#Absurd advice only an American would follow (2010-03-19) Humans evolved as hunter-gatherers. One of the main driving forces behind human social cooperation and increase in brain size, as well as pattern recognition, was the hunt for animal meat. Almost all human societies, to this day, eat animal products of one kind or another. It s overkill to think that a diet based only on plants is best. It neglects that throughout human history, fish have been one of the healthiest foods one can eat (perhaps not so much now, due to toxins). It neglects that even red meat consumed in m...

#When scientists disregard data, this is the result. (2010-03-17) After reading Good Calories, Bad Calories by Gary Taubes, I thought I would investigate this book which purports the exact opposite of Taubes findings. The China Study was obviously written by a scientist who has his opinions and wants them to be right no matter what the outcomes of his cited study. As a masters in nutrition student, it has been drilled into my head that you have to go with the results of the study, no matter how disappointing they are in supporting your hypothesis. This is how science works. You ...

A look at the new four food groups--grains, legumes, vegetables, and fruits--shows why this new dietary plan works and how it can dramatically enhance people s chances for a long and healthful life. 40,000 first printing. Tour.

#Food For Life: the best (2010-03-03) I find this book to be one of the best of Dr Bernards. The explanations and the recipes are excellent. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a healthy switch.

#Very informative (2010-02-23) This book is very informative. I especially like the recipes in the back of the book, and the 21-day diet regimen. This helps a lot for a busy person like myself to not have to think about what to cook each day. And the recipes are great!

# Well-balanced and never starving (2009-12-31) I read this book five times and continue to make notes in the margins! It s the book that changed my diet and lifestyle. The evidence in favor of a vegan diet is so compelling I d be a fool to walk away without following the vegan path. In two months, I ve lost 10 pounds. The recipes have been great. I don t miss meat, chicken, fish or dairy. I m always is feeling well-balanced and never starving. Neal Barnard clearly explains the science in an understandable and respectful way. It has inspired me. I m eternally grateful.

#I really wanted to like it.... (2009-09-29) The book has excellent reviews and I am a fan of the author. How could I go wrong? Unfortunately, it is boring and repetitive. The content could be summed up in a pamphlet and the material just puts me to sleep. I am trying so hard to finish it, but just cannot. I have read over 20 nutrition books this year, and this one takes the cake for losing my interest. Skinny Bitch promotes the same general principles, and is hilarious and main stream.

#eating better (2009-06-15) Bought this book along with Food Seductions by the same author. Some repeat but both very good books. Hope for restoring your health without pills, just a good healthy tasty diet will improve your life greatly. This books helped encourage and motivate me.

From the award-winning champion of culinary simplicity who gave us the bestselling How to Cook Everything and How to Cook Everything Vegetarian comes Food Matters, a plan for responsible eating that s as good for the planet as it is for your weight and your health.We are finally starting to acknowledge the threat carbon emissions pose to our ozone layer, but few people have focused on the extent to which our consumption of meat contributes to global warming. Think about it this way: In terms of energy consumption, serving a typical family-of-four steak dinner is the rough equivalent of driving around in an SUV for three hours while leaving all the lights on at home.Bittman offers a no-nonsense rundown on how government policy, big business marketing, and global economics influence what we choose to put on the table each evening. He demystifies buzzwords like organic, sustainable, and local and offers straightforward, budget-conscious advice that will help you make small changes that wi...

#Yum (2010-03-08) I love the information and recipes in this book. They are simple and to the point, and I love that Mark Bittman always gives lots of alternatives to ingredients so that the same recipe can be made in a variety of ways. If you like this one, you will also love his seasonal cookbook - I can t decide which one I like more!!

#Eating as if food matters (2010-02-07) In Food Matters , author Mark Bittman quickly gets to the heart of the matter of responsible eating. With his trademark direct and no-nonsense style, he shows how America s over-consumption of meat contributes not only to the expanding waistlines and all-time-high incidences of heart disease, cancer, and stroke, but also to global warming. He exposes how government policy and the money-hungry Big Food industry have contributed to the health and environmental crises, and he doesn t sugar-coat his words: Much about the typical American diet is ...

#Healthy eating can be fun (2009-10-21) Thoroughly recommended ideas for very interesting and tasty recipes which are actually healthy as well. We have tried several with not a dud among them.

#Very practical (2009-09-22) I was so impressed with the simplicity and ease of his featured recipies in a running magazine, I bought the book. The practical approach of using less meat product and more plant was refreshing. While I don t think the planet is in any real danger, I certainly appreciate the practicality of using products that are less demanding on existing resources. The most liberating thing to me was learning the different ways to use and cook vegetables. As a result, I ve been able to do a little freestyling with flavorful results. Instead of processed foods I nor...

#Excellant book (2010-01-30) One of the best health books I have read. I recomend it for everyone with auto imune problems, diabites, Heart disease, Asthma, Arthritis. In fact its good for any one getting older.

#Also the inflammation cure (2009-09-19) I feel the same as everyone else, this book is full of excellent information and is backed by tons of research. Perhaps not the easiest read, but if you are health-minded and want to learn the cause and cure for inflammation and related diseases, this book is excellent. For those looking to treat arthritis and muscle and joint issues, I would like to recommend The Permanent Pain Cure By Ming Chew as an excellent companion book. I used both books and tons of additional research to recover from shoulder surgery well ahead of time and also relieve a...

#Over-the-Top (2009-09-14) I received this product in a matter of a few days and in excellent condition also.

#A Useful Resource, But Not Perfect (2009-06-28) In this book, Challem describes the inflammation syndrome, a condition of chronic inflammation which appears to contribute to and link a variety of diseases such as heart disease, arthritis, diabetes, allergies, asthma, cancer, and many others. Regarding treatment of these conditions, Challem describes the substantial side effects and risks associated with conventional anti-inflammatory drugs, and instead offers an alternative (or complementary) approach emphasizing diet and supplements. Based on other reading I ve done and my personal...

#Excellent Book (2010-01-20) I remember when I first bought read this book about 20 years ago and was struck by the passion and dedication to healing by the author first, and his extensive knowledge of herbal healing second. The book provides just about every form of internal and external healing advice and includes a recipe section as well. I have used many of the remedies mentioned in the book and have kept many afflictions at bay by using them as preventative measures over the years. I attribute my good health at 60 to the extensive use of herbs and plant foods mentioned in this...

#God Gave us Everything for Health in the Earth (2009-12-19) Thirty-two years ago, my first child was born. I ran to the Pediatrician for every little thing. One day it dawned on me that my parents and grandparents didn t do that. My grandmother a Cherokee Indian used all types of herbs and other home remedies. The deeper I looked into Back to Eden the more I realized the importance of understanding the medicinal qualities of foods and herbs. This book improved my parental abilities to care for my family, by providing healthier alternatives to drugs. We all know from the media ...

#Back to Eden (2009-12-15) Back to Eden and back to good health. The time finally came for us to replace a long-lost copy of the classic we often referenced for mild maladies to serious concerns and during my first pregnancy over twenty-five years ago. As always, Kloss didn t disappoint. Challenged by morbid hypertension, sleep disorders, breathing problems, and general malaise, Hubby kick-started dietary improvements and is already experiencing decreased lethargy in addition to getting a good night of rest. It s good to be back in Eden!

#book lover (2009-11-23) This is one of my favorite books about herbs and herbal remedy. It is complex in every herb, plant and tree. Very interesting. I bought this book for my sister in Canada and she love it. I will recommend to people who love to know more about herbs. The book cover everything including planting to natural remedy.

#If I could only own one book on health, this would be it (2009-05-28) Along with Adelle Davis Eat Right To Keep Fit, this is the first truly in-depth health tome I ever read, twenty years ago this spring. Since then I have read maybe 500 books on health and not one comes close to being this thorough, bs-free, and intelligently written. Kloss speaks directly and entirely from personal experience, as a country doctor a hundred years ago, he learned from nature and old-school traditional truths. The pill-sellers weren t around yet, and everything in this book comes from hands-on use wi...
