New Releases 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.

La evidencia científica es clara, los resultados son inequívocos. Cambia tu dieta y reducirás el riesgo de padecer cáncer, enfermedades cardiovasculares, diabetes y obesidad. Desde donde lo queramos ver, la salud de Norteamérica y de los países occidentales está empeorando. Cada vez gastamos más dinero en asistencia sanitaria y, sin embargo, dos tercios de la población tienen sobrepeso y 15 millones de norteame ricanos padecen diabetes. Las enfermedades cardiovasculares tienen la misma incidencia que hace treinta años, y la guerra contra el cáncer, lanzada en la década de los años setenta, ha sido un fracaso estrepitoso. Casi más de la mitad de la población padece alguna enfermedad que requiere tomar medicamentos cada semana y más de 100 millones de norteamericanos tienen el colesterol demasiado elevado. Para empeorar las cosas, estamos guiando a nuestros jóvenes a través de un camino de enfermedades y padecimientos cada vez más rápido. Los jóvenes se enferman más que antes y un tercio de nuestros niños tiene sobrepeso o está en camino de tenerlo. Además, un tipo de diabetes que antes solo afectaba a los adultos, está incidiendo cada vez más en los niños. El Estudio de China presenta un mensaje esperanzador, claro y conciso. Al mismo tiempo, desvela muchos mitos y mucha desinformación. Si quieres estar sano, cambia tu dieta.

We show theoretically that optimism can lead a risk-averse CEO to choose the first-best investment level that maximizes shareholder value. Optimism below (above) the interior optimum leads the CEO to underinvest (overinvest). Hence, if boards of directors act in the interests of shareholders, CEOs with relatively low or high optimism face a higher probability of forced turnover than moderately optimistic CEOs face. Using a large sample of turnovers, we find strong empirical support for this prediction. The results are consistent with the view that there is an interior optimum level of managerial optimism that maximizes firm value.

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.

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.

On diet therapy.

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.
