Raw Food SOS Debunks The China Study

July 9th, 2010, by

Raw foodist and reformed vegan Denise Minger has put together the most thorough dismantling of The China Study to date. Her work can be found here:

The China Study: Fact or Fallacy?

For those of you who don't know, The China Study is a book written by Dr. T. Colin Campbell. In his book, Dr. Campbell claims that animal products (meat, eggs, dairy, etc.) contribute to cancer, heart disease, diabetes, and other diseases of civilization. As you can probably already guess, Dr. Campbell advocates a vegetarian/vegan diet all of us if we are to avoid the diseases of civilization.

Do yourself and those around you a favor and take a few minutes to read Ms. Minger's work. It is quite enlightening and will help equip you with the knowledge you need the next time a coworker or family member forms the basis of their argument solely from The China Study.

    Cool article! I really enjoyed the commentary that followed the article. I recommend the Vegetarian Myth by Lierre Keith as well. The book presents interesting arguements questioning the sustainability of our current agricultural industry. She has a quirky writing style but the ideas presented are awesome.

    Has Dr. T. Colin Campbell ever met an Eskimo or Inuit person? They can't grow plants to eat because where they live it's too cold. They eat nothing but fat and meat. Does Dr. Campbell also know that Inuit people have lower incidences of heart disease and diabetes??
