Sheehan Chiropractic, serving Medford, Ashland, and Southern Oregon

I was given this book by two dear vegan friends recently on my birthday (did any of you remember?). I had heard them quote from it several times in the last year or so, but hadn’t thought to pick it up or inquire about it.

It’s about a multi-decade nutritional study in China, as well as a variety of other studies carried out by Ph.D. T. Colin Campbell. The China study is touted as being “the most comprehensive study of nutrition ever conducted”,and essentially proves that eating a lower -than- average American amount of protein in one’s diet results in a decreased risk of certain forms of cancer, and a lower incidence of a variety of common 1st- world diseases, including diabetes, arthritis, heart disease and obesity.

The study shows that the diet that is most effective for preventing, and in some cases reversing these common health conditions is primarily a plant-based diet.

Very interesting reading for anyone interested in nutrition, longevity, disease prevention, and wellness.

The book is now in paperback, and retails for $16.95. Cheaper copies can be found at the Book Wagon in Ashland, which gives (I think) a 20 % discount off retail price on all new books.
