The China Study
by T. Colin Campbell, Ph.D. and Thomas M. Campbell II

Reviewed by Mark Epstein

As members of the National Health Association, we are very lucky. For nearly 60 years as an organization, we’ve helped people understand that health is the result of healthful living, and we’ve created gatherings and materials to educate each other. Many great health professionals have walked through our doors.

It was about 20 years ago that T. Colin Campbell, Ph.D., first spoke at one of our conferences, and we have benefited deeply ever since from knowing each other. Dr. Campbell’s life work has helped us to better understand the nutritional causes of health and disease, and his new book The China Study is a crowning achievement. Brilliantly written, The China Study reads like a spy novel, sharing with us Dr. Campbell’s life journey as a researcher and policy maker.

Cholesterol Protection for Life
by Dr. Joel Fuhrman

Reviewed by Dr. Steven Acocella 

Once again Dr. Fuhrman raises the bar on health and health care with his slim book, Cholesterol Protection for Life, which outlines the cause and effect relationship between lifestyle, diet and developing diseases associated with high cholesterol. Flying yet again in the face of the medical masses, Fuhrman clearly explains the dangers and shortcomings of the standard medical cookbook approach to heart disease and cholesterol lowering drugs. More importantly, through sound science and an excellent review of the most credible cholesterol and heart health studies, coupled with his own years of clinical experience and results, Fuhrman clearly demonstrates how his intelligent natural approach is not only without dangerous drug side effects, but actually more effective than taking medication to lower cholesterol.
