The China Study’s Findings
Author T. Colin Campbell has done a lot of research establishing the best eating habits for producing long-term, healthy results. What he has found may surprise the majority of Americans. Now, you’ve most likely heard that America is the unhealthiest population in the world, largely in part to the obesity levels. Right? Yes, but the real reason why Americans are so unhealthy is often overlooked.
According to The China Study, the excess amount of animal protein consumed by Americans, and people in general, is promoting cancer-cell growth more so than the original carcinogens. The best way to avoid chronic diseases is by following a whole foods, plant-based diet. This allows for the body to receive the appropriate carbohydrates, rather than refined carbs loaded with sugar, while also absorbing vitamins and minerals.
