Most Americans eat meat—lots of it—believing a high- protein diet is good. Carbohydrates, sugar and fat are what make us obese and unhealthy, right? Unless your religion prohibits it or you’re a bleeding heart animal lover, why wouldn’t you eat meat?

T. Colin Campbell, Ph.D., used to advocate a high-protein, animal-based diet, until he began a 20-year research project focused on health and nutrition. The project culminated in his book, THE CHINA STUDY; The Most Comprehensive Study of Nutrition Ever Conducted. One finding was that people who eat the most animal-based foods get the most chronic diseases, while those eating the most plant-based foods are healthiest.

Dr. Campbell says that Americans deserve to know that much of what we’ve been taught about food, health and disease is just plain wrong and the misinformation is killing us. He’ll help your audience redefine good nutrition.

He’ll shatter misconceptions with his encyclopedic knowledge of health and nutrition, covering issues such as:

• Are low-carb diets like Atkins and South Beach dangerous?

• Can eating organic reduce your risk of cancer?

• How does avoiding dairy products help prevent prostate cancer?

• Do carbohydrates make you fat?

• Can soy prevent heart disease?

• How are infant feeding practices linked to Type I diabetes?

CREDENTIALS: T. Colin Campbell, Ph.D., is a professor emeritus of nutritional biochemistry at Cornell University. He has written more than 300 research papers in his more than 40 years in the field and has received numerous awards for research and citizenship.
