About this audiobook

Here is the updated and expanded edition of the bestseller that changed millions of lives.

The science is clear. The results are unmistakable.

You can dramatically reduce your risk of cancer, heart disease, and diabetes just by changing your diet.

More than thirty years ago, nutrition researcher T. Colin Campbell and his team at Cornell University, in partnership with teams in China and England, embarked upon the most comprehensive study ever undertaken of the relationship between diet and the risk of developing disease. What they found, when combined with findings in Campbell’s laboratory, opened their eyes to the dangers of a diet high in animal protein and the unparalleled health benefits of a whole foods, plant-based diet.

In 2005, T. Colin Campbell and his son Thomas M. Campbell, now a physician, shared those findings with the world in The China Study, hailed as one of the most important books about diet and health ever written.

This heavily expanded edition of their groundbreaking book features brand-new content, including the latest undeniable evidence of the power of a plant-based diet, plus updated information about the changing medical system and how patients can benefit from a surging interest in plant-based nutrition.

The China Study: Revised and Expanded Edition presents a clear and concise message of hope as it dispels a multitude of health myths and misinformation. The basic message is clear. The key to a long, healthy life lies in three things: breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

The new information includes

updated research on heart disease, obesity, diabetes, cancer, autoimmune disease, and other diseases;

updated supplementation recommendations; and

a new chapter about the media’s coverage, or lack of coverage, of plant-based diet research.

Ratings and reviews

This book has the power to wake up individuals, families, communities and humanity to our most powerful choice: what we feed ourselves. It also provided me with understanding and clarity about how this seemingly small choice impacts the world. My choices DO affect all of life...we all make a huge difference. God Bless T.Collin Campbell and all the amazing authors, scientists, researchers, and professionals (past and present) who have carried the baton and taken on this challenge of shining the light on this information and wisdom that has been buried alive. The changes that I have made have already improved my experience of life. I feel lighter and more flexible in my joints and my blood pressure has been averaging at 110/70 for the past 6 months. I feel blessed, inspired, and supported by this book as well as "Whole", "The China Study Solution" , "Prevent and Reverse Heart Disease", "The Whole Foods Diet", "Forks Over Knives", just to name a few. Books like these empower us with simple ways to value and take responsibility for all aspects of Life. I am grateful feeling inspired.
