The problems with the august 'China Study' are many: sloppy citations, cherry-picked references, omission of data that contradicted the thesis, and recommendations that went beyond the data. DENISE MINGER's critique of 'THE CHINA STUDY' is sharp and warrants reading before accepting Campbell's argument in toto.. http://rawfoodsos.com/the-china-study/. There's a lot of discussion about nutrition today but relying on T. Colin Campbell is complicated by the vegan or vegetarian POV as 'The China Study' has been deployed as a core argument against the consumption of animal products <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Animal_product>,So there's more in play than what seems to be. The jury is still out on this question....a question that is constantly being held hostage to ethics rather than nutrition. Not eating dead animals may be a preference...but let's not layer that penchant with justifications that abhors scrutiny...and "The China Study' warrants scrutiny. dave riley ________________________________________________ Send list submissions to: Marxism@lists.csbs.utah.edu Set your options at: http://lists.csbs.utah.edu/options/marxism/archive%40mail-archive.com
