"PERCENTAGE OF TOTAL PROTEIN THAT COMES FROM ANIMAL FOOD 100 t- Nurses US china average of about 15-16%. To give these figures some perspective, the recommended daily allowance (RDA) for protein is only about 9-10%. But even more importantly, of the protein consumed by the nurses in this study, between 78% and 86% comes from animal-based foods,9 as shown in Chart 14.2.89Even in the group of nurses that eat the lowest amount of total protein, 79% of it comes from animal-based foods.9 In other words, virtually all of these nurses are more carnivorous than an average American woman." - T.

"But these china data were more remarkable because the geographic variations in cancer rates were much greater (Chart 4.2). They also occurred in a country where 87% of the population is the same ethnic group, the Han people. CHART 4.2." - T. Colin Campbell, Ph.D. and Thomas M.

"Part I_____ THE china STUDY _____1_______ Problems We Face, Solutions We Need "He who does not know food, how can he understand the diseases of man?" —Hippocrates, the father of medicine (460-357 b.c) On a golden morning in 1946, when summer was all tuckered out and fall wanted to be let in, all you could hear on my family's dairy farm was quiet. There was no growl from cars driving by or airplanes burning trails overhead. Just quiet." - T. Colin Campbell, Ph.D. and Thomas M. Campbell II, The china Study: The Most Comprehensive Study of Nutrition Ever Conducted and the Startling Implications for Diet, Weight Loss and Long-term Health (Get the book.) "Most importantly, the diet that has time and again been shown to reverse and/or prevent these diseases is the same whole foods, plant-based diet that I had found to promote optimal health in my laboratory research and in the china Study. The findings are consistent. Yet, despite the power of this information, despite the hope it generates and despite the urgent need for this understanding of nutrition and health, people are still confused. I have friends with heart disease who are resigned and despondent about being at the mercy of what they consider to be an inevitable disease." - T. Colin Campbell, Ph.D. and Thomas M.

"For that information, we turn to the Cornell-China-Oxfprd Project on Nutrition, Health, and Environment, a long-term study comparing the diets of rural china with average American ones. Since the early 1980s, T. Colin Campbell, PhD, director of the project, has been tracking the eating habits of people living in 100 Chinese rural villages. What has he discovered so far? In rural china, the rates of major chronic diseases, including breast, colon, and rectal cancer, are mere fractions of those reported in the United States.

"Asia, particularly china. Hepatitis B Virus Hepatitis B is a serious disease caused by a virus that attacks the liver. The virus, which is called hepatitis B virus, can cause lifelong infection, cirrhosis (scarring) of the liver, liver cancer, liver failure and death. About 3% to 6% of the v/orld's population is currently infected with the virus and up to one-third have been exposed. Symptoms of the acute illness caused by the virus include liver inflammation, vomiting and jaundice. Vaccines currently exist for this disease. Hepatitis B virus is endemic in china and Asia." - Allison Tannis, Probiotic Rescue: How You can use Probiotics to Fight Cholesterol, Cancer, Superbugs, Digestive Complaints and More (Get the book.)

"Contrast this to what happened during the 2007 consumer scare over the discovery of diethylene glycol in toothpaste imported from china. The FDA quickly got involved, issuing an alert to retailers and consumers and stepping up its scrutiny of personal care products made in china. Under the brand names of Excel and Cool, the oversea manufacturer had substituted diethylene glycol, known as DEG, for a more expensive chemical normally used as a sweetener and thickening agent. The syrupy DEG constituted up to 4 percent of each toothpaste tube's overall weight." - Samuel S.

"Elissa Ely, in an August 5, 2006, New York Times op-ed piece Acupuncture Many years back, I remember being in a hospital in Beijing, china, and seeing a man diagnosed with multi-infarct dementia receiving acupuncture. What interested me most was how a traditional Eastern treatment was integrated with Western scientific medicine in a clinical setting like this. In china, separate medical schools train physicians in each tradition, but each school is well aware of and accepting of the other's approach." - Peter J.

"In rural china, the rates of major chronic diseases, including breast, colon, and rectal cancer, are mere fractions of those reported in the United States. "There are some regions in china in which breast cancer and heart disease are almost unknown," Campbell says. Type 2 diabetes and bone-weakening osteoporosis are much less prevalent, even though the Chinese consume far fewer dairy products than we do in the United States, according to Campbell. Does soy offer breast cancer benefits?" - Elaine Magee, Food Synergy: Unleash Hundreds of Powerful Healing Food Combinations to Fight Disease and Live Well (Get the book.)

"In the city of Shanghai, china, one-quarter million women were divided into two groups. In the first, women were given intensive training on how to conduct breast self-exams, the skill being reinforced one and three years later. The second group received no instruction. Neither group received clinical breast exams or mammograms, which are not widely available in china. A ten-year follow-up on these women published 2002 in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute found no difference in death rates between the two groups. These results were consistent with a yet unfinished study in Russia." - Gerald E. Markle and Frances B. McCrea, What If Medicine Disappeared? (Get the book.)

"Liver cancer, also called hepatocelluar carcinoma, is common throughout the world but particularly in china. Not surprisingly, Chinese medical scientists have been especially interested in IPg. Dr. Zhenshu Zhang from Nanfang Hospital of the First PLA Medical College in Guangzhou, china, came to Maryland and visited Dr. Shamsuddin's laboratory in 1976. Their joint scientific investigation to determine whether IPg could be helpful to persons with liver cancer showed promising results. Their first experiments took place in the test tube (in vitro)." - Freedom Press, Natural Cancer Cures: The Definitive Guide to Using Dietary Supplements to Fight and Prevent Cancer (Get the book.)

"Environmental standards are also often higher here than in countries such as china. Wyatt's Favorite Toys Wyatt always loved Waldorf dolls—and yes, boys should play with dolls, too. I believe playing with dolls sets a solid foundation of caretaking that will prepare Wyatt for fatherhood. Now that he's nine years old, he has a very nurturing attitude toward all the kids with cancer who come to the ranch in New Mexico. From the age of one, Wyatt played constantly with his Waldorf dolls—he could spend all day playing house and taking care of his babies." - Deirdre Imus, Growing Up Green: Baby and Child Care: Volume 2 in the Bestselling Green This!

"Their friends and neighbors had imported deer from china with the permission of the USDA. A few years later, after their deer business was well established, the USDA claimed the animals had to be destroyed for fear they could be "susceptible" to chronic wasting disease. There were no symptoms, no positive tests, just the fact that the animals were imported. (And, oh yeah, china didn't have chronic wasting disease, only the United States did." - Linda Faillace, Mad Sheep: The True Story Behind the USDA's War on a Family Farm (Get the book.)

"This undisputed scientific fact is confirmed by the china Study by T Colin Campbell and the epidemiological evidence of 6,500 Chinese across 65 provinces. A meat-based protein is a poorer quality protein source than a plant-based protein, as evidenced by cancer data from that study showing that the more animal protein was consumed, the higher the rates of cancer. According to the Max Planck Institute, cooking coagulates approximately 50 percent of the protein, making the food less digestible, more coarse, and more inflammatory." - Gabriel Cousens, There Is a Cure for Diabetes: The Tree of Life 21-Day+ Program (Get the book.)

"To investigate whether probiotics may help prevent liver cancer, researchers from the University of Kuopio selected 90 male students from the Guangdong province in china where exposure to aflatoxin-contaminated food is common. The double-blind, placebo-controlled trial assigned either placebo or two probiotic capsules per day, each containing 50 billion colony-forming units of a mixture of Lactobacillus rhamnosus LC705 and Propionibacterium freudenreichii ssp. Shermanii. The administration of probiotics led to a statistically significant decrease in the level of carcinogens in the body." - Allison Tannis, Probiotic Rescue: How You can use Probiotics to Fight Cholesterol, Cancer, Superbugs, Digestive Complaints and More (Get the book.)

Nattokinase has been the subject of seventeen studies, including two small human trials." - Stephen Sinatra, M.D. and James C., M.D. Roberts, Reverse Heart Disease Now: Stop Deadly Cardiovascular Plaque Before It's Too Late (Get the book.)

"Coffee and Green Tea Green tea is the most popular tea in china and Japan, where the lowest breast cancer rates are found. There are many health-promoting properties to green tea, and thousands of published studies verifying its benefits. Tea is generally high in antioxidants, but green is highest. Green tea is the least processed of all teas (green tea leaves are simply steamed).

"Hepatitis B virus is endemic in china and Asia. i_____i Liver cancer can have many causes. The largest risk factor is thought to be chronic hepatitis B virus infection. Consumption of foods contaminated with aflatoxin, such as peanuts, are also established causes of liver cancer. As the liver is the site of detoxification, carcinogens are metabolized there, making it a likely place for cancer development. Of note, most peanuts produced today have low levels of this toxin and pose a low risk to your health." - Allison Tannis, Probiotic Rescue: How You can use Probiotics to Fight Cholesterol, Cancer, Superbugs, Digestive Complaints and More (Get the book.)

"In 1997, the results of a placebo-controlled trial conducted in china indicated that chromium supplementation might be beneficial in the treatment of Type-2 diabetes.165 In the study, 180 participants took either a placebo, 200 meg/day of chromium, or 1,000 meg/day of chromium (both of the latter groups in the form of chromium picoli-nate). At the end of four months, blood glucose levels were 15-19 percent lower in those who took 1,000 meg/day compared with those who took a placebo.

"Colin Campbell, PhD, in The china Study. Dr. Esselstyn's work proved that cardiovascular disease is a benign disease, and that reversing it completely is only possible when "everything in moderation" is left behind and a prudent diet of plant-source-only foods is applied. Diabetes, too, is a benign disease, and is therefore reversible when applying a Culture of Life cuisine and lifestyle.

"The United States led the way with 53 percent of its crops produced from GM organisms, followed by Argentina (17 percent), Brazil (11 percent), Canada (6 percent), India (4 percent), and china (3 percent). The majority of these crops were herbicide- and insect-resistant soybeans, corn, cotton, canola, and alfalfa. Another use of this technology is to produce a GM rice with increased iron and vitamins, which could alleviate chronic malnutrition in third-world countries. So on the surface it looks like this technology would be helpful to humans." - Brenda Watson and Leonard Smith, The Detox Strategy: Vibrant Health in 5 Easy Steps (Get the book.)
