Book List

Just finished The China Study by Joel Furhman.  I was originally turned on to the book by Michael Beseancon, VP of Whole Foods.  Beseancon explained that this book not only changed his life but helped shape his work at Whole Foods.   

The China Study compares and contrasts general diet trends in China vs. America.  American diets include about 15% to 25% more animal-based protein.  Furhman, along with other notable scientists found startling correlations between animal-based proteins and diseases, such as heart disease, cancer, diabetes...(and the list goes on).

Furham claims that the American perspective on diet is screwed and ultimately unhealthy.  The China Study is a comprehensive and fascinating book on modern health.  

In my opinion, a must-read.
