The
science is clear. The results are unmistakable. Change your diet and
dramatically reduce your risk of cancer, heart disease, diabetes and
obesity.
By
any measure, America's health is failing. We spend far more, per capita,
on health care than any other society in the world, and yet two-thirds
of Americans are overweight, and more than 15 million Americans have
diabetes. We fall prey to heart disease as often as we did thirty years
ago. The War on Cancer, launched in the 1970s, has been a miserable
failure. Half of all Americans have a health problem that requires taking
a prescription drug every week, and more than 100 million Americans
have high cholesterol.
To
make matters worse, we are leading our youth down a path of disease
earlier and earlier in their lives. One-third of the children in this
country are overweight or at risk of becoming overweight. Our kids are
increasingly falling prey to a form of diabetes that used to be seen
only in adults, and children now take more prescription drugs than ever
before.
These
issues all come down to three things: breakfast, lunch and dinner.
The
China Study presents a clear and concise message of hope as it dispels
a multitude of health myths and misinformation: If you want to be healthy,
change your diet.
