The China Study

The China Study is the definitive work that scientifically shows research supporting the plant-based vegan diet in its unique role of minimizing and reversing the occurence of chronic disease, correlating the cause to cholesterol derived from animal protein. Total Health Fx has been an active proponent of the vegan diet for many years, recommending to our clients for prevention, remedy, and wellness.

“This exhaustive presentation of the findings from the China Study conclusively demonstrates the link between nutrition and heart disease, diabetes, and cancer. 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 65 counties, representing 2,500 counties across rural China and Taiwan. While revealing that proper nutrition can have a dramatic effect on reducing and reversing these ailments as well as obesity, this text calls into question the practices of many of the current dietary programs, such as the Atkins diet, that enjoy widespread popularity in the West. The impact of the politics of nutrition and the efforts of special interest groups on the creation and dissemination of public information on nutrition are also discussed.”  Total Health Fx recommends reading the full, documented review of The China Study on Wikipedia.
