Thank you Elizabeth for those recommendations.

I would like to recommend The China Study as a wonderful introductory book for your family and friends and anyone that has shown interest in your developing raw-food consumption lifestyle. The main message does not cram the Raw Food path down your throat but rather uses 20 years of cumulative research from what is being hailed as the “most comprehensive large study ever undertaken of the relationship between diet and the risk of developing disease.”



Excerpt -

Drawing on the project findings in rural China, but going far beyond those findings, The China Study details the connection between nutrition and heart disease, diabetes and cancer. The report also examines the source of nutritional confusion produced by powerful lobbies, government entities, and opportunistic scientists. The New York Times has recognized the study (China-Oxford-Cornell Diet and Health Project) as the “Grand Prix of epidemiology” and the “most comprehensive large study ever undertaken of the relationship between diet and the risk of developing disease.”
