After the break, I introduce our new sponsor, Vegan Outreach — dedicated to bringing the vegan message to college campuses across North America, Australia and New Zealand, and India. Check out their important work — and subscribe to their newsy newsletter (I love the recipes) at www.veganoutreach.org.
In our second guest spot, we welcome Thomas M. Campbell II, MD, author of The China Study Solution and coauthor with his father, T. Colin Campbell, Ph.D, of the landmark bestseller, The China Study. The younger Campbell’s book makes the findings of The China Study practical and accessible in your own kitchen and your own life. In this episode, Tom and I discuss soy, fish, oil, the benefits and limits of plant-based nutrition for disease prevention and reversal, his work at the University of Rochester Nutrition in Medicine program, the need to get this message to the medical profession and into medical practice, and what the roadblocks are to having this happen.
