The China Study offers conclusive evidence that a change of diet can dramatically reduce the risks of heart disease, diabetes, and obesity. The book is based on the most comprehensive study of nutrition ever conducted, a 20-year joint project between Cornell University, Oxford University, and the Chinese Academy of Preventive Medicine. The study surveyed the eating habits of 6,500 adults from all over China and Taiwan and found a direct correlation between diet and disease. Author T. Colin Campbell, the study’s project director, provides an intelligent, well-documented analysis of the study’s results, an analysis that explodes the most common American dietary myths. In addressing the dietary sources of the most common diseases, including cancer, Campbell unleashes a no-holds-barred attack on the commercial interests that profit by selling the American public unhealthy food.

Fair Book on CD, 2008-06-09
The reader does not do a great job of reading this from the scientific basis - he does not seem to understand the science very much, therefore reads in an unusual manner. Still, the CD's are a nice alternative if you don't have time to read the book.

The China Study, 2008-04-06
I wasn't sure about this book when I ordered it. I was having a hard time finding audiobooks on nutrition. So many diets and diet plans but not many on nutrition. When I first started listening to the book I didn't think it was what I was looking for then it grabbed me. Everyone in the world should read or listen to this book. It is a book that could literaly change the world into a better place. We are far to complacent to accept the world "as is". I plan to tell as many people about this book as possible and do my part to change the world one person at a time starting with me.

I'd rate higher if I could. Easy to listen to. , 2008-03-06
I'm always concerned that I won't enjoy or understand the speaker on books on cds. I drive a lot during the day and enjoyed listening to them. The sound quality is good. I've also read the book and can just say read the comments because the book is worth your time. I'd still suggest you read the book also.

The Good LIfe, 2007-12-31
This book is one I wish I could put into everyone's hand. It is the most comprehensive book of it's kind, supported by a mountain of research. No quacks here, just facts that can change the quality of your life! I recommend the cd to accompany it. I will not part with this one and refer to it frequently.
