The China Study
The China Study follows the
work of Dr. T. Colin Campbell, from his decades of laboratory
experiments on protein consumption, to The China Project, referred to as
the "Grand Prix of epidemiology" by The New York Times.
The China Project examined more than 350 variables of health and
nutrition with surveys from 6,500 adults in more than 2,500 counties
across China and Taiwan, and conclusively demonstrates the link between
nutrition and heart disease, diabetes, and cancer. While revealing that
proper nutrition can have a dramatic effect on reducing and reversing
these ailments as well as curbing obesity, this text calls into question
the practices of many of the current dietary programs, such as the
Atkins diet, that are widely popular in the West. The politics of
nutrition and the impact of special interest groups in the creation and
dissemination of public information are also discussed.
Prevent and Reverse Heart Disease
Based on the groundbreaking results of a twenty-year nutritional
study by Dr. Esselstyn, a preeminent researcher and clinician, this book
illustrates that a plant-based, oil-free diet can not only prevent and
stop the progression of heart disease but can also reverse its effects.
The proof lies in the incredible outcomes for patients who have followed
Dr. Esselstyn's program, including a number of patients in his original
study who had been told by their cardiologists that they had less than a
year to live. Within months of starting the program, Dr. Esselstyn's
patients began to improve dramatically, and twenty years later, they
remain free of symptoms.
Complete with more than 150 delicious recipes, this book explains the
science behind the simple plan that has drastically changed the lives
of Dr. Esselstyn's patients forever. It will empower readers to take
control of their heart health.
The Engine 2 Diet
Professional athlete-turned-firefighter Rip Esselstyn is used to
responding to emergencies. So, when he learned that some of his fellow
Engine 2 firefighters in Austin, TX, were in dire physical
condition-several had dangerously high cholesterol levels (the highest
was 344!)-he sprang into action and created a life-saving plan for the
firehouse. By following Rip's program, everyone lost weight (some more
than 20 lbs.), lowered their cholesterol (Mr. 344's dropped to 196), and
improved their overall health. Now, Rip outlines his proven plan in
this book. With Rip as your expert coach and motivator, you'll transform
your body and lifestyle in a month. His plant-powered eating plan is
based on a diet of whole foods, including whole grains, fresh fruits,
vegetables, legumes, nuts, and seeds.

The Pleasure Trap
A wake-up call to even the most health conscious people, The Pleasure Trap
boldly challenges conventional wisdom about sickness and unhappiness in
today's contemporary culture, and offers groundbreaking solutions for
achieving change. Authors Douglas Lisle, Ph.D., and Alan Goldhamer,
D.C., provide a fascinating new perspective on how modern life can turn
so many smart, savvy people into the unwitting saboteurs of their own
well-being.
Inspired by stunning original research, comprehensive clinical
studies, and their successes with thousands of patients, the authors
construct a new paradigm for the psychology of health, offering fresh
hope for anyone stuck in a self-destructive rut. Integrating principals
of evolutionary biology with trailblazing, proactive strategies for
wellness, they argue that people who are chronically overweight, sick
and ailing, or junk food junkies aren't that way because they're lazy,
undisciplined, or stuck with bad genes. The authors reveal that most are
victims of a dilemma that harkens back to our prehistoric past-"the
Pleasure Trap."
Drs. Lisle and Goldhamer then call upon their clinical experience,
scientific investigations, and a recent revolution of understanding in
human motivational psychology to provide you with solutions for the
challenges of keeping on a healthful course-and how to make the most of
your life.
