Reviews

“There are very few material game-changers in life, but this book is truly one of them. The information herein—backed up by extraordinary peer-reviewed science—has the power to halt and reverse disease, give you energy you’ve never known, and put you on a path of transformation in just about every positive way. Read it and get ready to soar.”

“In this provocative book, T. Colin Campbell, based on his long career in experimental research and health policy making, uncovers how and why there is so much confusion about food and health and what can be done about it. The China Study revealed what we should eat; Whole answers why. Read and enjoy; there’s something here to inspire and offend just about everyone.”

“Whole: Rethinking the Science of Nutrition picks up where the author’s popular The China Study leaves off. The China Study examined what we should eat and provided scientific support for these considerations: Whole considers the ‘why’ of how a whole-food, plant-based diet provides optimal nutrition. From cellular changes to the entire organism, this provides a scientific basis for a whole-foods diet plan, considering the antioxidants in foods, what happens to the body upon eating foods, and considering how the influences of chemicals affect biology. Many books promote whole foods without backing their contentions with scientific research: this offers explanations of that science and provides readers with a powerful survey of nutrition and its scientific basis. Any health or food collection needs this.”

“Campbell lays down a challenge to outdated methods and status quo thinking, calling for widespread changes in government policy as well as nutritional research…Whole will touch you at the cellular level and challenge you to rethink what you believe you knew about nutrition…Whole is that rare sequel that lives up to the original. It picks up where The China Study left off and solidifies Campbell’s status as the modern era’s godfather of nutrition…Campbell has changed the field of nutrition…[and now] throws a serious monkey wrench into the evils of the current scientific method.”

“Campbell’s follow-up to his best-selling The China Study is more of the same, in the best way…The entirety of the book is a passionate and convincing case for that ideal diet…His years of scientific study and calm, measured tone are highly convincing, making a firm case that changing one’s diet is the best way to assure good health. Readers will be inclined to put down their processed food snacks once they read what could be a life-changer of a book.”

“Whole makes a convincing case that modern nutrition’s focus on single nutrients has led to mass confusion with tragic health consequences. Dr. Campbell’s new paradigm will change the way we think about food and, in doing so, could improve the lives of millions of people and save billions of dollars in health care costs.”

“Don Hagen is an excellent narrator to deliver this persuasive health audio…With his intelligent phrasing, clear enunciation, and mature-sounding sonority, Hagen’s performance promotes engagement and thoughtful reflection. Winner of the AudioFile Earphones Award.”
