The revised 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 30 years ago, nutrition researcher T. Colin Campbell and his team at Cornell, in partnership with teams in China and England, embarked upon the China Study, 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 Colin'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, Colin and his son Tom, 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.
Featuring brand new content, this heavily expanded edition of Colin and Tom's groundbreaking book includes the latest undeniable evidence of the power of a plant-based diet, plus updated information about the changing medical system and how patients stand to 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.

Run don't walk
"This is a must read. With the health crisis in the world regarding an unhealthy food supply, vac's, medical systems that are taxed through no fault of the front line workers, the list can go on. This book will assist you to understand what you should avoid consuming and also increase your consumption of certain foods. It is based on actual data, not opinion."
— Mad 9. (5/5)
Good read to cement a thought
"The book has a lot of interesting information and provides some clarity to the benefits of a plant based diet. It has a very long sample size, in an area where none of us live. Could the quality of the soil and other environmental factors contribute to this?? I do not know. We all read books, specifically diet related books to find the optimal diet. In all honesty we all know we should eat more fresh food, less preserved and processed food well striking a healthy balance of work and exercise. . . . Reduce stress etc. The last 60 pages is as dry as it comes and I couldn't get through it. Worth the read, but a lot of information isn't as mind blowing as you would expect. Eat less meat, more fruits and vegetables, drink water and a consume a hell lot more fiber."
— Greg B. (4/5)

Your life will never be the same.
"What can I say? Facts are facts. Health and diet approached honestly, scientifically and with a lot of proven data."

technical but informative
"i have a background in health sciences so this was an easy and simple read. i think the author has made his points clear enough that it isn't too confusing if you don't understand some of the jargon from the first few chapters. i really enjoyed this read."
— Epigirl (4/5)
Very Informative!
"This book is great for either a casual read or for research for assignments. It has the science to back up nutrition and plant based diets. Excellent Read!"
— Nguyen (5/5)
