Editorial Review / Publisher's Information:
Product Description
Part Medical Thriller, Part Governmental Expose and Part Nutrition Manual. Dr. Campbell issues a stark warning against the imminent "Atkins Backlash". This is NOT a diet book. Consumers are bombarded with conflicting messages regarding health and nutrition; the market is flooded with popular titles like "The Atkins Diet" and "The South Beach Diet". Dr. Campbell cuts through the haze of misinformation and delivers an insightful message to anyone living with cancer, diabetes, heart disease, obesity and those concerned with the effect of ageing. Dr. Campbell challenges the validity of these low-carb fad diets and issues a startling warning to their followers. "The New York Times" has recognised the study ("China-Oxford-Cornell Diet and Health Project") as the "Grand Prix of epidemiology" and the "most comprehensive large study ever undertaken of the relationship between diet and the risk of developing disease".

• Misleading
30 July, 2010
A misleading book based on only observational studies. If you don't understand how to look at research, it's easy to be fooled.

• A Must-read
27 July, 2010
This book is very easy to read and full of valuable health and diet information. This book is not for someone looking for a quick-fad diet to lose a couple pounds, but for someone who is looking for over all life-long health. I urge everyone to read it.

• Too Logical To Ignore
29 July, 2010
Dr. Campbell has done a magnificent job documenting his findings. It's irrefutable--animal products in the diet are risky for your health; you can eat just as well with a predominantly vegetable diet. Whole foods versus supplements? No contest--whole foods win. This book forwards a recommendation for a non-obsessive change to a whole approach to nutrition. The benefits: reduced/no heart disease, diabetes, MS, cancer, macular degeneration, osteoporosis. Hey what else is there!
Have I followed the recommendations? Yes, and it was easy. I've become a "flexitarian" (I still eat a little meat occasionally). I'm an old man (68), and I really want to stay healthy; since I already love whole vegetables, fruit, and grains, why not go for it!
Unfortunately, none of my friends or family were as excited about this as I. I can't live for them! If the book looks daunting, just read the first section on cancer, just that section. If you don't get pulled in, then best wishes.
Campbell only becomes preachy at the very end of the book. But hey! I can take it; the first part overwhelmingly makes up for it. I'll get back with you in ten years and let you know how I've been doing. For some dimension, see also "The Omnivore's Dilemma," and "Food Rules," both by Michael Pollan. Great books. Related info, but not the same.
I also realized that there is something about this in the Bible. See Daniel: the story of Daniel, Shadrach, Meshach and Abed-Nego, as they opt for vegetables rather than rich delicacies in the King's court.
