Dr. Campbell serves up a sweeping historical survey of the literature on diet and health, brilliantly exploring the institutional biases that have long confused consumers and subverted the science as to the power of evidence-based nutrition to prevent and treat disease. Couldnt put the book down!

T. Colin Campbell is legendary when it comes to nutrition. His six decades of scientific work and advocacy changed the worlds understanding of how what we eat can cause or prevent cancer. In The Future of Nutrition, Campbell prophesizes a healthier planet populated by healthier people eating a whole food, plant-based diet. To get us there, Campbell reveals a long-standing opponent: a confrontational nutrition establishment that must evolve to embrace modern science and move beyond its outdated thinking. Through his eyes and acerbic wit, we learn about the fascinating and, at times, outrageous academic, political, and industrial intrigue that has tripped up efforts to improve our nations diet for more than one hundred years. Campbell delivers decisive directions on what needs to be done to move our communities towards a healthier, evidence-based way of eating. The Future of Nutrition is Campbells magnum opus and will leave you rethinking how you discuss healthy eating, what you hear about dietary guidelines, and whats in your next bite. This is a must read for everyone who is serious about nutrition and wants a unique behind-the-scenes understanding of a foe-ridden field through the eyes of a pioneer.

Dr. Campbell, the pioneering researcher whose earlier published findings in The China Study on the benefits of plant-based versus animal-based foods fired the shot heard round the world, does it again in The Future of Nutrition. This book is a must-read for many reasons, the main one being that our health and our lives depend on us acting on the tipping point evidence that Dr. Campbell provides. He exposes the bribery and graft that occurs hidden from us and uses our own tax dollars to deliberately mislead us, the American public. He tells it like it was and, unfortunately, how it still is. It is obvious that Dr. Campbells towering intellect, (plus his wry humor), and dedication to dig into the archives and expose the purposely hidden information and corruption related to the power of foodand money. He reveals this by naming names complete with citations. We are in the midst of a human-caused mass extinction which can be reversed by following the logical steps of halting the damage being done to our environment. All is not lost YET, but only if enough of us implement the calls to action that Dr. Campbell outlines that will help us recognize where we are going wrong, how we can reverse course, stop fighting Nature and get back in tune with her. Ill add my call to action: Get as many others to read this book as you can because we must act now.

As a cellist, I know that true music is much more than the parts. An inexplicable magic occurs when there is harmony between the physical and spiritual. After reading this book, the truth of wholism and living at one with nature became much more than well documented science. Everything came together as a whole and made music. This book had a huge impact on me. I think it will change many lives for the better.

Colin Campbell is a scientist specializing in nutrition. So what? Well, he also happens to be one of the worlds leading experts in his field, but theres more. As he explains in this book, genuine nutritional scientists are surprisingly rare nowadays, because the entire edifice of food science is thoroughly corrupt, from top to bottom. The main reason for this is the Western worlds addiction to meat. The signs are all there: like any other drug addict, the Western nutritional establishment have woven a web of lies over centuries to rationalise their behaviour, which has deeply harmful effects on others. Its a major factor contributing to the current global environmental crisis, its ruining our health and our economies, and its the reason why so many animalsat least 70 billion land animals per yearendure short, tortured lives in factory farms. Tellingly, when Campbell was once giving a presentation about food, he received a self-pitying, emotional complaint from a fellow food researcher, an MIT professor no less: Colin, youre talking about good food. Please dont take it away from us! But Campbell is a genuine food scientist, and its his job to hold up the mirror of truth to the ugly face of our meat addiction. In this, his latest book, he lays out the basic facts, clearly and understandably. Will it be enough to encourage people to go cold turkey about cold turkey and other meats? That remains to be seen; he can do no more.
