Description

The China Study: Startling Implications for Diet, Weight-Loss and Long-term Health is the definitive resource for anyone considering a plant-based diet and, because of this, more than a half million people have picked up the book. With the Hispanic community struggling with obesity rates like never before-for instance, Hispanic girls have 2-3 times the risk of having a high body mass index (BMI) than Caucasian girls of the same age-a plant-based diet can improve the health of an entire culture. This and many other facts nearly demand a release of The China Study Spanish-translation edition.

Author Biography

For more than 40 years, Dr. T. Colin Campbell has been at the forefront of nutrition research. His legacy, the China Study, is the most comprehensive study of health and nutrition ever conducted. Dr. Campbell is Jacob Gould Schurman Professor Emeritus of Nutritional Biochemistry at Cornell University. He has received more than 70 grant-years of peer-reviewed research finding and authored more than 300 research papers. The China Study was the culmination of a 20-year partnership of Cornell University, Oxford University, and the Chinese Academy of Preventive Medicine. A 1999 graduate of Cornell University and recipient of a medical degree in 2010, Thomas M. Campbell II, MD, is a writer, actor, and four-time marathon runner. Born and raised in Ithaca, N.Y., he has appeared on stage in London, Chicago and most of the states east of the Mississippi River.
