"One
who cares about choosing the right food to eat, also
cares about their own health, the health of their
friends and family, the health of their society and
even the health of the planet itself." |

T. Colin Campbell, PhD
Jacob Gould Schurman Professor Emeritus of
Nutritional Biochemistry at Cornell University |
Participants of the November 2005 Live-in
McDougall Program in Santa Rosa, CA had the special
opportunity to meet T. Colin Campbell, PhD, author of the
national best-selling book, the China Study, and his
wife, Karen Campbell.
Raised on a dairy farm, Dr. Campbell
eventually became the world’s most recognized
nutritionist—and an opponent of the big food industries.
Over many years Dr. Campbell’s research has
focused on how eating protein, and especially dairy protein,
encourages cancer growth. He has spent decades working on
national and international food and health policies, and
publishing hundreds of scientific papers. Many years ago Dr.
Campbell became aware of the deplorable state of nutrition
research and policy making, and the resulting public
information in the U.S. Information produced by the food
industry, and their allies in the government, confuses and
cheats members of the public out of their health by selling
them on the importance and safety of meat and dairy
products.
Dr. Campbell is best known for his research in rural China
and Taiwan -- research that surveyed a total of 170 villages to
determine the relationships of diet and lifestyle to common
diseases. This work became known as the China Study
(published in 1990), and is regarded as the most
comprehensive study of diet, lifestyle and disease ever
completed. The New York Times called the China
Study “the Grand Prix of Human Epidemiology.” This
landmark research shows that even small increases in the
consumption of animal-based foods are associated with an
important increased risk of disease.
The recently published book (2004),
The
China Study, by Dr. Campbell and his son Thomas M.
Campbell II, has become an instant national best-seller, and
is one of the few books on Dr. McDougall’s highly
recommended list. (Dr. McDougall and Dr. Campbell have been
friends and have worked together to change the way people
think about food for more than 15 years.)
You have a chance to get to know this
nutritional pioneer by spending the weekend of February 3 to
5, 2006 at the McDougall Clinic in Santa Rosa, CA. In
