This thought provoking book by Dr T. Colin Campbell (co-author of The China Study) discusses the reductionist view of nutrition, leading to tragic health consequences and general confusion regarding health and nutrition. The book looks at nutrition as a whole and discusses in depth how the synergy of nutrients works to provide bio-available health benefits.
'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.'
In The China Study Dr. Campbell looked at the evidence that a whole food, plant-based diet is the healthiest way to eat. In Whole, he explains the science behind the 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
