Default Re: Is Vegan/Vegetarian an Illuminati/Reptilian Deception?

Thank you Judy - I wonder if this could turn out to be the only vegan/omnivore discussion that doesn't go violent?

I was just looking at the information on The China Study again. Here is an article that pretty well lays out the flaws in T. Colin Campbell's book. He does have some good information, but he only tells half the truth ...

Thumbs Down Book Review - by Chris Masterjohn
The China Study: Startling Implications for Diet, Weight Loss, and Long-Term Health

http://www.westonaprice.org/bookreviews/chinastudy.html
Conclusion paragraph
"The China Study contains many excellent points in its criticism of the health care system, the overemphasis on reductionism in nutritional research, the influence of industry on research, and the necessity of obtaining nutrients from foods. But its bias against animal products and in favor of veganism permeates every chapter and every page. Less than a page of comments are spent in total discussing the harms of refined carbohydrate products. Campbell exercises caution when generalizing from casein to plant proteins, but freely generalizes from casein to animal protein. He entirely ignores the role of wheat gluten, a plant product, in autoimmune diseases, so he can emphasize the role of milk protein, an animal product. The book, while not entirely without value, is not about the China Study, nor is it a comprehensive look at the current state of health research. It would be more aptly titled, A Comprehensive Case for the Vegan Diet, and the reader should be cautioned that the evidence is selected, presented, and interpreted with the goal of making that case in mind."
