"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 addition to Dr. Campbell, speakers at
