Books like The China Study by T. Colin Campbell, PhD
The China Study, described by the New York Times as the “Grand Prix of epidemiology,” analyzes over 3,500 variables related to health and nutrition surveyed from 6,500 adults in more than 2,500 counties across China and Taiwan. The research demonstrates a clear link between dietary patterns and the prevalence of heart disease, diabetes, cancer, and obesity, showing that proper nutrition can significantly reduce or even reverse these conditions.

This work presents the results of a large study of diet and death rates from cancer in adults across China and Taiwan and explains the study's significance and what it reveals about the implications of poor nutrition. 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.

"The Chinese attitude to food can be summed up in their most common greeting: 'ne chi le fan ma?' - 'Have you eaten yet?' Food prays a central part in Chinese culture: mealtimes are the high points of the day and yet studies have shown that they remain slimmer and fitter than we do in the West. Their secret is based on simple and sensible principles. Food nourishes and heals - it is not considered a source of unwanted calories." "Inspired by the endlessly enticing food, Clissold shows us how the Chinese balance their diet, satisfy their taste buds, and allow the ancient principles of Chinese thought to guide them to a wholesome and delicious way of eating. Illustrated by examples and recipes that use both Chinese and western ingredients, this book is an adventure into a little-understood cuisine."--Jacket.
