Dr. Colin Campbell's ground breaking observations in his book " The China Study" is a must read for health professionals & Doctors.

Some snippets from this fantastic book -

Many of the common notions you have been told about food, health and disease are wrong:

• Synthetic chemicals in the environment and in your food, as problematic as they may be, are not the main cause of cancer. Animal Protein is closely correlated with Liver Cancer.
. Dietary protein proved to be so powerful in its effect that we could tum on and tum off cancer growth simply by changing the level consumed. So stop eating those Burgers, KFC and Big Macs.
• The genes that you inherit from your parents are not the most important factors in determining whether you fall prey to any of the ten leading causes of death.
• The hope that genetic research will eventually lead to drug cures for diseases ignores more powerful solutions that can be employed today. i.e. Plant based Nutrition.
• Obsessively controlling your intake of anyone nutrient, such as carbohydrates, fat, cholesterol or omega-3 fats, will not result in long-term health.
• Popping Vitamins and nutrient supplements do not give you long-term protection against disease. Plant based nutrition will do the job.
• Drugs and surgery don't cure the diseases. Drugs & Surgery kills more people after Cancer and Cardiac diseases. ( JAMA)
• Your doctor probably does not know what you need to do to be the healthiest you can be. The Doctor is not to be blamed because Medical Schools teach Nutrition for only a week or a month in a semester.

Some of the findings, published in the most reputable scientific journals, show that:

• Dietary change can enable diabetic patients to go off their medication.
• Heart disease can be reversed with diet alone.
• Breast cancer is related to levels of female hormones in the blood, which are determined by the food we eat.
• Consuming dairy foods can increase the risk of prostate cancer.
• Antioxidants, found in fruits and vegetables, are linked to better mental performance in old age.
• Kidney stones can be prevented by a healthy diet.
• Type 1 diabetes, one of the most devastating diseases that can befall a child, is convincingly linked to infant feeding practices.

The EGG & Milk lobby in India should learn from the deep research findings presented in this book. We should advocate a Nutritious Plant based Diet with balanced mix of Veggie/Fruit/Fibre/Carb diet. The beauty is that Dr. Colins learned about the 'Protein Cancer' connection from an Indian lab study!

Read this book - it is an eye opener.
