i dont think i will get the chance to read this book.. however , would you give plz give me more info about the book , sorry i am not veggie.. just curious about it.
glad to see you back Cathy! the china study is a book taken from the China Project is a many years long look at death rates and possible indicators. Was it Cornell's originally or a joint project? yeah... with Oxford and the Academy of Preventative medicine (PRC). Weston Price Foundation (Price himself had good ideas for the knowledge of his time and should be considered by omnis: whole food diet balances of fats, but this foundation is sort of the anti-Peta, at least it's a knee-jerk reactionary web site) hates it, so it must be good enough to read and consider. here's a bit on continuing research from the Cornell press office: http://www.news.cornell.edu/Chronicle/01/6.28.01/China_Study_II.html
The managing scientist and author of the book is based at Cornell. Scientists from all around the world (Oxford included) were part of the study that was commissioned by the Chinese government due to a huge rise in cancer deaths among their population. An overwhelming majority of cancer related deaths were among wealthy Chinese that could afford to eat the "western diet". The book also goes into quality and mount of heath protein, diabetes, heart disease and the idea of prevention over resuscitation
