“The publisher of The China Study, probably noticed a big uptick in sales about the year that we decided to send all our friends a copy.”↗

“This is the only nonpolitical book on my list, but it changed my life. The book, based on a two-decades-long study, busts common myths about food, making the case that humans do not need meat or other animal products. The argument is all built on sound research and medical testing, not fake science.”↗
