About this listen
Why, despite the many advances in science and technology over the past few decades, does our health only seem to be getting worse? Why, despite so much time and energy spent studying the foods we eat, are we more confused than ever about nutrition - what good nutrition looks like, and what it can do for our health?
Colin Campbell’s first book, The China Study - with 3 million copies sold (and growing!) - laid out the exhaustive evidence for the whole foods, plant-based diet as the healthiest way to eat. His New York Times best-selling follow-up, Whole, addressed the widespread scientific emphasis on reductionism that has kept our focus on the discrete behaviors of individual vitamins and nutrients in the foods we eat, rather than diet’s synergistic effects on health.
Now, 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, Campbell takes on the institution of nutrition itself: the history of how we got locked in to focusing on “disease care” over health care; the widespread impact of our reverence of animal protein on our interpretation of scientific evidence; the way even well-meaning organizations can limit what science is and is not taken seriously; and what we can do to ensure the future of nutrition is different than its past.
The Future of Nutrition offers a fascinating deep-dive behind the curtain of the field of nutrition - with implications both for our health and for the practice of science itself.

Good perspective, some interesting takes from this.
1). The point about companies biasing research was an interesting thing
2). The link between casein and cancer is good but, left me wanting to know more about this.
3). The conclusion I came to, is that a diet of branded products is making everyone unhealthy, so an unbranded diet would be an interesting consideration.
4). The basic assumption of plant based is good for health, is quite common knowledge.
5). The bit about how it is incalculable to consider how many processes our eaten food goes through, before our body can realise its nutrients making it difficult to calculate its actual nutrient value
6). The part about different cooking methods can both lower and raise certain nutrient values, which I hadn’t considered.
7). I love the China study, nutrition and the future of nutrition. They are a great listen. I would choose the china study of all 3 as my preference.

Essential reading for health
Well written, well structured walk through on how society may improve its health. Every argument well made and counter arguments argued against. But too be expected from the eminent T Colin Campbell PhD

Life Saving Knowledge & Future Advice & Truth
About as honest as any food & nutrition book can and ever will be. It’ll open your eyes on the real world and how we’ve all be manipulated and under corporate profit continuously and the imminent disastrous consequences for many individuals who don’t know and even our planet. The bravest and truest book I’ve ever read - of utmost importance.

A bit tedious but good message in there somewhere
There were problems with the file downloaded as some sections of early chapters were blank. However these were during the most tedious sections. Dr Campbell is clearly on top of the details and it is distressing to learn just how shallow and blinkered business and government really is. Distressing but not surprising; money is persuasive. The biggest problem with this audiobook however is the poor narration. The narrator used an odd lightweight tone that clashed with the subject matter. And he misprounces words: fracas pronounced as fraycass for crying out loud! I will stick to Michael Greger.
