Best Selling Books by T. Colin Campbell

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER What happens when you eat an apple? The answer is vastly more complex than you imagine. Every apple contains thousands of antioxidants whose names, beyond a few like vitamin C, are unfamiliar to us, and each of these powerful chemicals has the potential to play an important role in supporting our health. They impact thousands upon thousands of metabolic reactions inside the human body. But calculating the specific influence of each of these chemicals isn''t nearly sufficient to explain the effect of the apple as a whole. Because almost every chemical can affect every other chemical, there is an almost infinite number of possible biological consequences. And that''s just from an apple. Nutritional science, long stuck in a reductionist mindset, is at the cusp of a revolution. The traditional “gold standard" of nutrition research has been to study one chemical at a time in an attempt to determine its particular impact on the human body. These sorts of studies are helpful to food companies trying to prove there is a chemical in milk or pre-packaged dinners that is “good" for us, but they provide little insight into the complexity of what actually happens in our bodies or how those chemicals contribute to our health. In The China Study, T. Colin Campbell (alongside his son, Thomas M. Campbell) revolutionized the way we think about our food with the evidence that a whole food, plant-based diet is the healthiest way to eat. Now, in Whole, he explains the science behind that evidence, the ways our current scientific paradigm ignores the fascinating complexity of the human body, and why, if we have such overwhelming evidence that everything we think we know about nutrition is wrong, our eating habits haven''t changed. Whole is an eye-opening, paradigm-changing journey through cutting-edge thinking on nutrition, a scientific tour de force with powerful implications for our health and for our world.

Referred to as the "Grand Prix of epidemiology" by The New York Times, this study examines more than 350 variables of health and nutrition with surveys from 6,500 adults in more than 2,500 counties across China and Taiwan, and conclusively demonstrates the link between nutrition and heart disease, diabetes, and cancer. While revealing that proper nutrition can have a dramatic effect on reducing and reversing these ailments as well as curbing obesity, this text calls into question the practices of many of the current dietary programs, such as the Atkins diet, that are widely popular in the West. The politics of nutrition and the impact of special interest groups in the creation and dissemination of public information are also discussed.

By now, the low-carb diet''s refrain is a familiar one: Bread is bad for you. Fat doesn''t matter. Carbs are the real reason you can''t lose weight. The low-carb universe Dr. Atkins brought into being continues to expand. Low-carb diets, from South Beach to the Zone and beyond, are still the go-to method for weight-loss for millions. These diets'' marketing may differ, but they all share two crucial components: the condemnation of “carbs" and an emphasis on meat and fat for calories. Even the latest diet trend, the Paleo diet, is—despite its increased focus on (some) whole foods—just another variation on the same carbohydrate fears. In The Low-Carb Fraud, longtime leader in the nutritional science field T. Colin Campbell (author of The China Study and Whole) outlines where (and how) the low-carb proponents get it wrong: where the belief that carbohydrates are bad came from, and why it persists despite all the evidence to the contrary. The foods we misleadingly refer to as “carbs" aren''t all created equal—and treating them that way has major consequences for our nutritional well-being. If you''re considering a low-carb diet, read this e-book first. It will change the way you think about what you eat—and how you should be eating, to lose weight and optimize your health, now and for the long term.

The revised and expanded edition of the bestseller that changed millions of lives The science is clear. The results are unmistakable. You can dramatically reduce your risk of cancer, heart disease, and diabetes just by changing your diet. More than 30 years ago, nutrition researcher T. Colin Campbell and his team at Cornell, in partnership with teams in China and England, embarked upon the China Study, the most comprehensive study ever undertaken of the relationship between diet and the risk of developing disease. What they found when combined with findings in Colin''s laboratory, opened their eyes to the dangers of a diet high in animal protein and the unparalleled health benefits of a whole foods, plant-based diet. In 2005, Colin and his son Tom, now a physician, shared those findings with the world in The China Study, hailed as one of the most important books about diet and health ever written. Featuring brand new content, this heavily expanded edition of Colin and Tom''s groundbreaking book includes the latest undeniable evidence of the power of a plant-based diet, plus updated information about the changing medical system and how patients stand to benefit from a surging interest in plant-based nutrition. The China Study—Revised and Expanded Edition presents a clear and concise message of hope as it dispels a multitude of health myths and misinformation. The basic message is clear. The key to a long, healthy life lies in three things: breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

From the coauthor of The China Study and author of the New York Times bestselling follow-up, Whole Despite extensive research and overwhelming public information on nutrition and health science, we are more confused than ever—about the foods we eat, what good nutrition looks like, and what it can do for our health. In The Future of Nutrition, T. Colin Campbell cuts through the noise with an in-depth analysis of our historical relationship to the food we eat, the source of our present information overload, and what our current path means for the future—both for individual health and society as a whole. In these pages, Campbell takes on the institution of nutrition itself, unpacking: Why the institutional emphasis on individual nutrients (instead of whole foods) as a means to explain nutrition has had catastrophic consequences How our reverence for "high quality" animal protein has distorted our understanding of cholesterol, saturated fat, unsaturated fat, environmental carcinogens, and more Why mainstream food and nutrient recommendations and public policy favor corporate interests over that of personal and planetary health How we can ensure that public nutrition literacy can prevent and treat personal illness more effectively and economically The Future of Nutrition offers a fascinating deep-dive behind the curtain of the field of nutrition—with implications both for our health and for the practice of science itself.

Traditional Chinese edition of The China Study: The Most Comprehensive Study of Nutrition Ever Conducted And the Startling Implications for Diet, Weight Loss, And Long-term Health. Doctor T. Colin Campbell studies the correlation between diet and disease in over 100 villages all over China. His studies uncover realities about our diets and food regulation programs that will open your eyes to the way people are eating in the U.S., and how the foods we eat can either promote or compromise our health.

Berdasarkan "The China study", penelitian kesehatan paling komprehensif yang pernah dilakukanÿ Pada awal 1970-an, Pemerintah China mengadakan survei kesehatan nasional yang melibatkan 650 ribu pekerja dan 880 juta penduduk. Survei ini menghasilkan Atlas Kanker yang menunjukkan kondisi kesehatan orang China yang sangat berbeda dengan masyarakat Barat.ÿ Atlas Kanker kemudian menjadi pijakan dimulainya penelitian paling komprehensif tentang pola makan, gaya hidup, dan penyakit. Penelitian tersebut dikenal dengan nama China Study. Selama lebih dari 20 tahun, penelitian dilakukan di China bersama-sama antara Universitas Cornell, Universitas Oxford, dan Chinese Academy of Preventive Medicine.ÿ China Study tak hanya mengungkap rahasia sehat dan panjang umur orang China, tetapi juga membuktikan bahwa nutrisi yang tepat dapat mengatasi berbagai penyakit kronis dan berbahaya, seperti penyakit jantung, diabetes, kanker, obesitas, dan berbagai penyakit autoimun lain.ÿ Dengan ribuan fakta mengejutkan yang dihasilkan, China Study pun menjungkirbalikkan teori kesehatan modern yang saat ini diyakini.

De quelque côté que l''on regarde, la santé des Occidentaux se dégrade. Nous dépensons de plus en plus pour les soins de santé, ce qui n''empêche pas un nombre croissant de diabètes, de maladies cardiovasculaires et le fait que la " guerre contre le cancer " amorcée dans les années 1970 est un fiasco. Près de la moitié de la population souffre d''un problème de santé nécessitant la prise hebdomadaire de médicaments sous ordonnance, et plus de 25 % souffre d''un cholestérol trop élevé. La science le dit clairement. Les résultats sont là pour le prouver. Modifier votre alimentation, c''est réduire de façon impressionnante vos risques de cancer, de maladies cardiaques, de diabète et d''obésité.

We show analytically and empirically that the positive abnormal returns from Betting-Against-Beta (BAB) - a beta-neutral portfolio long in low beta stocks and short in high beta stocks - are consistent with market segmentation due to costly information acquisition, as in Merton (1987). Consistent with our predictions, expected returns and CAPM alphas from the BAB strategy are positive and vary (1) negatively in the cross-section with firm visibility, and (2) positively in the time-series with the portfolio''s shadow cost of information and beta spread. These results cannot be fully explained by alternate explanations such as funding illiquidity or preference for lottery-like stocks.
