El Estudio de China - by T Colin Campbell & Thomas M Campbell (Paperback)

About the Book

"The China Study: Startling Implications for Diet, Weight-Loss and Long-term Health" is the definitive resource for anyone considering a plant-based diet and, because of this, more than a half million people have picked up the book.
With the Hispanic community struggling with obesity rates like never before--for instance, Hispanic girls have 2-3 times the risk of having a high body mass index (BMI) than Caucasian girls of the same age--a plant-based diet can improve the health of an entire culture. This and many other facts nearly demand a release of "The China Study" Spanish-translation edition.

Book Synopsis

La evidencia científica es clara, los resultados son inequívocos. Cambia tu dieta y reducirás el riesgo de padecer cáncer, enfermedades cardiovasculares, diabetes y obesidad.

Desde donde lo queramos ver, la salud de Norteamérica y de los países occidentales está empeorando. Cada vez gastamos más dinero en asistencia sanitaria y, sin embargo, dos tercios de la población tienen sobrepeso y 15 millones de norteame ricanos padecen diabetes. Las enfermedades cardiovasculares tienen la misma incidencia que hace treinta años, y la guerra contra el cáncer, lanzada en la década de los años setenta, ha sido un fracaso estrepitoso. Casi más de la mitad de la población padece alguna enfermedad que requiere tomar medicamentos cada semana y más de 100 millones de norteamericanos tienen el colesterol demasiado elevado.

Para empeorar las cosas, estamos guiando a nuestros jóvenes a través de un camino de enfermedades y padecimientos cada vez más rápido. Los jóvenes se enferman más que antes y un tercio de nuestros niños tiene sobrepeso o está en camino de tenerlo. Además, un tipo de diabetes que antes solo afectaba a los adultos, está incidiendo cada vez más en los niños.

El Estudio de China presenta un mensaje esperanzador, claro y conciso. Al mismo tiempo, desvela muchos mitos y mucha desinformación. Si quieres estar sano, cambia tu dieta.
