Nutritional book Recommendations ?

    Ya I read that one actually one of my professors gave me a lend of his copy as he studied under Colin T campell in America years ago and he knew I was a veggie already. It's a good book it'll probably convert you to veganism though as the evidence is very shocking and substantial (it turned me :D)
    I always say that my bible is healing with wholefoods by paul pitchford it's a huge book that you'll refer to over and over again for the rest of your life, only prob is once you'ver used that book no other compares no matter how hard you try to find a brilliant one. It makes most other books superfluous.
    I know about 6 other people who feel the same way about healing with wholefoods and everyone says the same thing that it completely changed their lives forever after reading it. An example of this is that fact that I am now entering my fourth year of a nutritional science degree which I enrolled in a few months after reading it (my first book on nutrition.) despite not having any particular previous interest in my own or other peoples health and wellbeing.

    If you really want a comprehensive review of all the nutritional research ever conducted, get 'The Diet Delusion' by Gary Taubes. Taubes has won the top prize for scientific writing so many times that he's no longer considered eligible.

    It is quite a dense book but so well written and goes through the history of how we came to believe what we do today about nutrition and where we went wrong.

    There is a well referenced critique of the China study by Chris Masterjohn here:
