The Best Analysis I've Seen of The China Study

Submitted by Dana on Tue, 2010-07-20 16:36

T. Colin Campbell's book The China Study has been widely touted as the ultimate proof that animal foods are bad and plant foods are good. I have remained unconcerned, but if the foofooraw about The China Study has given you pause at all about your low carb, animal food-heavy diet, you need to read this long but truly wonderful critique by Denise Minger. Further, you need to forward it to every annoying, self-righteous vegan who has been harping on The China Study as the irrefutable proof of the evil of your ways.

I'm not into a raw foods diet, but I admire Ms. Minger's work very much, and will be paying close attention from here on out. Many thanks to Lierre Keith for sending me this write-up.

I read Ms. Minger's critique

I read Ms. Minger's critique and WOW was I impressed! Unlike far too many researchers these days, she was
-- objective
-- thorough
-- unwilling to come to specific conclusions when numerous variables were involved.

In other words, she comported herself in a truly scientific manner. Too bad T. Colin Campbell failed to do so - one would expect better of someone of his stature. However, it seems that biased analysis and cherrypicking of data is endemic in many areas of politically-charged research - nutrition, climate, etc.

My brother totally believes in this and is on the Okinawan diet. He is on me constantly about eating too much meat. Low Carb is working for me and I am happy with that. When we went to visit him in North Carolina this month, he did cook meat for me though.
