For those who have read THE CHINA STUDY...?!
Question:
For those who have read THE CHINA STUDY...?
What do you think? Has it caused you tochange your diet? if you are not convinced that the findings are important, then why not? I'd be very interested in the thoughts from those with a background in nutrition and science in particular. The findings are very provocative and seem very hard to refute. I am not seeing much talk about the studies mentioned, however. Please, only share your thoughts if you have read the book already.
Everyone else should definitely read THE CHINA STUDY.

I didn't change my diet after perusing it since I'd already been a long term veghead when it was released.
What makes it so valuable is that is *has* withstood not only the initial independent peer review but dozens of attacks by the anti-veg crowd! That's also why you don't hear too much about it from the meaties, the LAST thing they want is for the general population to read and understand what is in the study, since it totally trashes all their anti-veg 'research' that can't withstand independent peer-review.
By the way, you aren't linking to the actual study, just the book aimed at 'normal' folks<g> and your link is broken (you lost the m in com). The major problem with that book is that it tends to gloss over the limitations that were addressed in the real science (not unusual when dumbing down the science). Here's a few links that may be more useful:
