Recently, I was invited to open a blog on the Huffington Post by

Adriana Huffington that addressed the views that I have in our

book, " The China Study " , among other sources. I was asked to submit

an opening statement as to my background, etc., which I did. This is

found at

study_b_107860.html

 

I believe that this is an exceptional opportunity to develop a dialog

on the role of nutrition in health. As many of you know, I did not

arrive at my conclusions because of preconceived notions that I

wanted to promote vegetarianism or veganism. I simply obtained this

view based on our long time-diet, nutrition and health research

program, mostly at Cornell University, along with the clinical

evidence of practitioners like Drs. John McDougall, Caldwell

Esselstyn, Jr, Dean Ornish, Pamela Popper, Joel Fuhrman, Hans Diehl

and many others (actually, I believe that, according to current

practices and understandings, there are several problems with

advocating vegetarian or vegan approaches to health--I much prefer

our understanding what the concept of nutrition really means).

 

In any event, I suggest that this is an excellent opportunity to

develop this view and I suggest that, should you be interested, you

may wish to send a comment. I also welcome--especially welcome--

anyone who disagrees with this view. This is really about the search

for truth.
