The China Study is relied upon by many as strong evidence demonstrating the adverse health impact of animal-based foods, and in favor of a vegetarian diet. Linked below are commentaries that many believe invalidate the conclusions of the China study:
"The China Study is a 2005 book by T. Colin Campbell, Jacob Gould Schurman Professor Emeritus of Nutritional Biochemistry at Cornell University, and his son, Thomas M. Campbell II.[1] It examines the relationship between the consumption of animal products and illnesses such as cancers of the breast, prostate, and large bowel, diabetes, coronary heart disease, obesity, autoimmune disease, osteoporosis, degenerative brain disease, and macular degeneration.[2]
"The China Study" of the title is taken from the China-Cornell-Oxford Project, a survey that studied the relationship between mortality rates and the diets and lifestyles of 6,500 people in 65 rural counties in China. Described by The New York Times as "the Grand Prix of epidemiology," it was conducted jointly by Cornell University, the University of Oxford, and the Chinese Academy of Preventive Medicine over the course of twenty years; T. Colin Campbell was one of the project's directors. It was conducted in China because it has a genetically similar population that tends to live in the same way in the same place and eat the same foods for their entire lives.[3]
The authors conclude that people who eat a whole plant food/vegan diet, which avoids animal proteins such as beef, poultry, eggs, fish, and milk, will minimize or reverse the development of chronic diseases"
