The documents were originally posted by Dana, so you can thank her for them. The China Study started in 1983 and was a collaborative study down between Cornell University, Oxford University, the Chinese Academy of Preventive Medicine and the Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences. It is the most comprehensive study on food, environment, social practices and disease ever done in China and some say in the world. It is important to us today because it shows that a plant protein diet (a vegan diet) is the healthiest option. This document looks at two disease groups (diseases of poverty and diseases of affluence) and then goes over how consumption patterns can lead to these diseases and presents different consumption patterns to reduce risk and even reverse the disease. Some of the diseases it addresses are different types of cancers, diabetes, osteoperosis and infectious diseases. Attachments:
