Reducir drásticamente el riesgo de padecer cáncer, enfermedades cardíacas o diabetes es posible; basta con cambiar tu alimentación. Hace más de treinta años, el doctor T. Colin Campbell se embarcó en el Estudio de China, la investigacion mas completa jamas realizada sobre la relacion entre la alimentacion y el riesgo de desarrollar enfermedades.Sus hallazgos, recogidos en esta obra, por una parte, alertan sobre las peligrosas consecuencias de una alimentacion alta en proteina animal y, por otra, ponen de manifiesto los beneficios de una rutina alimentaria basada en alimentos de origen vegetal no procesados.Considerado uno de los libros mas importantes sobre salud y nutricion jamas escritos, El Estudio de China, en esta edicion revisada y ampliada, desmonta mitos y ofrece un mensaje de esperanza claro y conciso: tu desayuno, tu almuerzo y tu cena son la clave para una vida larga y saludable.

The revised and expanded edition of the bestseller that changed millions of lives The science is clear. The results are unmistakable. You can dramatically reduce your risk of cancer, heart disease, and diabetes just by changing your diet. More than 30 years ago, nutrition researcher T. Colin Campbell and his team at Cornell, in partnership with teams in China and England, embarked upon the China Study, the most comprehensive study ever undertaken of the relationship between diet and the risk of developing disease. What they found when combined with findings in Colin's laboratory, opened their eyes to the dangers of a diet high in animal protein and the unparalleled health benefits of a whole foods, plant-based diet. In 2005, Colin and his son Tom, now a physician, shared those findings with the world in The China Study, hailed as one of the most important books about diet and health ever written.

¿Qué ocurre cuando te comes una manzana? La respuesta es muchísimo más compleja de lo que te imaginas. Cada manzana contiene miles de antioxidantes cuyos nombres desconocemos, exceptuando unos pocos como la vitamina C. Cada una de esas poderosas sustancias quimicas juega un papel importante en nuestra salud: influye en miles y miles de reacciones metabolicas en el interior del cuerpo humano. Pero calcular la accion especifica de cada una de esas sustancias quimicas no es suficiente para explicar el efecto de la manzana como un todo. Hay un numero casi infinito de consecuencias biologicas posibles, porque casi todas esas sustancias actuan entre si, cada una de ellas interactua con las demas. Y eso es solo lo que ocurre en una manzana. La ciencia nutricional, que ha estado estancada mucho tiempo en una mentalidad reduccionista, esta en el umbral de una revolucion. El “patron oro” tradicional de la investigacion nutricional ha consistido en estudiar las sustancias quimicas una por una, en un intento de calcular su impacto individual en el cuerpo humano. Esta clase de estudios es valiosa para las compañias alimentarias, que intentan demostrar que hay una sustancia en la leche o en las comidas preparadas y empaquetadas que nos “sienta bien”; pero estos estudios ofrecen pocos conocimientos sobre la complejidad de lo que verdaderamente ocurre en nuestro cuerpo, o sobre como contribuyen esas sustancias a nuestra salud. T. Colin Campbell (junto a su hijo, Thomas M. -Campbell) revoluciono con su libro El estudio de China nuestra manera de pensar en los alimentos, evidenciando que una dieta de alimentos integrales basada en plantas es la manera mas sana de comer. Ahora en Integral (Whole) explica la ciencia que apoya esa evidencia, las maneras que tiene el paradigma cientifico actual de ignorar la fascinante complejidad del cuerpo humano y por que lo hace. Y tambien las causas de por que nuestros habitos alimenticios no han cambiado ante una evidencia tan abrumadora de lo equivocados que estamos actualmente acerca de la nutricion. Integral (Whole) es un viaje revelador y un cambio de paradigma sobre la nutricion: una hazaña cientifica que tendra poderosas implicaciones en nuestra salud y en nuestro mundo.

New York Times Bestseller What happens when you eat an apple? The answer is vastly more complex than you imagine. Every apple contains thousands of antioxidants whose names, beyond a few like vitamin C, are unfamiliar to us, and each of these powerful chemicals has the potential to play an important role in supporting our health. They impact thousands upon thousands of metabolic reactions inside the human body. But calculating the specific influence of each of these chemicals isn't nearly sufficient to explain the effect of the apple as a whole. Because almost every chemical can affect every other chemical, there is an almost infinite number of possible biological consequences. And that's just from an apple. Nutritional science, long stuck in a reductionist mindset, is at the cusp of a revolution. The traditional "gold standard" of nutrition research has been to study one chemical at a time in an attempt to determine its particular impact on the human body. These sorts of studies are helpful to food companies trying to prove there is a chemical in milk or pre-packaged dinners that is "good" for us, but they provide little insight into the complexity of what actually happens in our bodies or how those chemicals contribute to our health. In The China Study, T. Colin Campbell (alongside his son, Thomas M. Campbell) revolutionized the way we think about our food with the evidence that a whole food, plant-based diet is the healthiest way to eat. Now, in Whole, he explains the science behind that evidence, the ways our current scientific paradigm ignores the fascinating complexity of the human body, and why, if we have such overwhelming evidence that everything we think we know about nutrition is wrong, our eating habits haven't changed. Whole is an eye-opening, paradigm-changing journey through cutting-edge thinking on nutrition, a scientific tour de force with powerful implications for our health and for our world.

Con más de 50 millones de ejemplares vendidos en el mundo entero y una película recientemente estrenada en EEUU (Forks Over Knives ) basada en los problemas alimenticios que revela El Estudio de China, se anuncia la esperada edicion en español de este libro revolucionario, que marcara un punto de inflexion en lo referente a la salud y la alimentacion. El Estudio de China es un revelador documento en el que el cientifico nutricionista Colin Campbell expone las conclusiones de mas de dos decadas de estudio sobre los efectos que la alimentacion, en especial el consumo de proteinas animales, tiene sobre la salud. Mas concretamente, sobre enfermedades tipicamente occidentales como la diabetes, los problemas cardiovasculares, determinados canceres, etc. El New York Times lo llamo el Gran Prix de la Epidemiologia.
