Presents

 

CHALLENGING THE STATUS QUO. THE MISUNDERSTOOD ROLE OF NUTRITION IN

HEALTH, MEDICINE, AND SOCIETY.

 

A Lecture by T. Colin Campbell, PhD, Project Director of the China

Study and the Jacob Gould Schurman Professor Emeritus of Nutritional

Biochemistry at Cornell University

 

Dr. Campbell will draw on his numerous experiences to critique the way

nutrition is corrupted by special interests and largely ignored by the

health establishment, despite the fact that nutrition, if practiced

and taught correctly, has unmatched potential to correct our troubling

health trends.

 

Dr. Campbell, with his son Tom, is the author of the recently

published book The China Study: The Most Comprehensive Study of

Nutrition Ever Conducted and the Startling Implications for Diet,

Weight Loss and Long-Term Health (see http://www.thechinastudy.com).

The New York Times has recognized the study (known formally as the

China-Oxford-Cornell Diet and Health Project, a 20 year partnership

which surveyed diseases and lifestyle factors in rural China and

Taiwan) as the " Grand Prix of epidemiology. " In The China Study, Dr.

Campbell details the connection between nutrition and heart disease,

diabetes, and cancer, and also its ability to reduce or reverse the

risk or effects of these deadly illnesses. For an excerpt from the

Introduction, visit

For more than 40 years, Dr. Campbell has been active in experimental

nutrition research and policy development, has authored more than 300

research papers, and has participated in many national and

international diet and health policy reports.
