The China study

Book • 1968
The China Study is based on the China–Cornell–Oxford Project, a 20-year study that examined the link between the consumption of animal products and chronic illnesses such as coronary heart disease, diabetes, and various types of cancer.

The authors conclude that a predominantly whole-food, vegan diet can significantly reduce the risk of these diseases.

The book presents findings from dietary surveys and blood work in 65 counties in China, combined with laboratory research, to argue for the health benefits of a plant-based diet and the dangers of a diet high in animal protein.
