What happens when you eat an apple? The answer is vastly more complex than you imagine.
Whole, a New York Times bestseller and an eye-opening, paradigm-changing journey through cutting-edge thinking on nutrition, is a scientific tour de force with powerful implications for our health and for our world.
Every apple contains thousands of antioxidants whose names, beyond a few like vitamin C, are unfamiliar to us, and each of these powerful chemicals has the potential to play an important role in supporting our health. They impact thousands upon thousands of metabolic reactions inside the human body. But calculating the specific influence of each of these chemicals isn’t nearly sufficient to explain the effect of the apple as a whole. Because almost every chemical can affect every other chemical, there is an almost infinite number of possible biological consequences—and that’s just from an apple.
Nutritional science, long stuck in a reductionist mindset, is at the cusp of a revolution. The traditional gold standard of nutrition research has been to study one chemical at a time in an attempt to determine its particular impact on the human body. These sorts of studies are helpful to food companies trying to prove there is a chemical in milk or prepackaged dinners that is “good” for us, but they provide little insight into the complexity of what actually happens in our bodies or how those chemicals contribute to our health.
In The China Study, T. Colin Campbell revolutionized the way we think about our food with the evidence that a whole food, plant-based diet is the healthiest way to eat. Now, in Whole, he explains the science behind that evidence, the ways our current scientific paradigm ignores the fascinating complexity of the human body, and why, if we have such overwhelming evidence that everything we think we know about nutrition is wrong, our eating habits haven’t changed.

Far too many "as far as I know", "in my opinion". NOT serious, own personal assumptions with non grounded studies.

Convincing to adhere to whole plant nutrition at a personal level but depressing for the American society. The message would be stronger if positive trends and their causes would have been presented: Contrary to global trends, meat consumption in the EU is falling, a move that is expected to continue for the next ten years.

Changed my whole viewpoint on how we look at nutrition and Healthcare. It's relevant for everyone and a must read.

Finishing Colin Campbell's book feels like graduating from the nutritional health dept of a medical college. I felt the same after The China Study.
