The Future of Nutrition: An Insider’s Look at the Science, Why We Keep Getting It Wrong, and How to Start Getting it Right

If we are so scientifically advanced, how can we also be so sick?

T. Colin Campbell tries to answer this question in The Future of Nutrition: An Insider’s Look at the Science, Why We Keep Getting It Wrong, and How to Start Getting It Right. In this book, he addresses the prejudices in science holding us back as well as how cancer and heart disease continue to affect so many. A follow-up to Campbell’s other groundbreaking works, The China Study, which has been described as “the most comprehensive study of health and nutrition ever conducted,” and Whole, The Future of Nutrition is a deep dive into the field of nutrition and the pitfalls in science.

Insightful when it comes to “disease care over health care,” Campbell’s work exposes the flaws in the system and furthers the cause of a whole food, plant-based diet. While it may sound like an radical option, choosing facts over feelings is rarely the wrong choice. This book helps cut through the conflicting and confusing messaging of the diet industry to give readers information to use in their decision making regarding what actually goes into their mouths. It’s our integration with nature that will ultimately lead us to wisdom.
