With the continued goal of increasing awareness of the science-based benefits of a whole food, plant-based lifestyle, T. Colin Campbell, PhD, a pioneer in the field of nutrition with six decades of research experience, releases The Future of Nutrition. In his third book, Dr. Campbell takes a deep look into the history of disease care, the current state of the nutrition industry, and how decades of nutrition research challenge scientific dogma. The book is available to preorder here.
“I am humbled to share my most recent findings in The Future of Nutrition,” said Dr. Campbell. “My primary interest is furthering an understanding of nutrition as a science for the entire population, both among citizens and governmental authorities.
In this book, we address major societal problems like environmental issues and health care costs and their many manifestations. We review the science behind a whole food, plant-based lifestyle by focusing on health care over disease care.”
Dr. Campbell’s first book, The China Study, looked at the exhaustive evidence for the whole food, plant-based diet as the optimal way to eat. His bestselling follow-up, Whole, reviewed the widespread scientific emphasis on reductionism that has kept the focus on the discrete behaviors of individual vitamins and nutrients in the foods we eat, rather than the diet’s synergistic effects on health. His newest book, The Future of Nutrition: An Insider’s Look at the Science, Why We Keep Getting It Wrong, and How to Start Getting It Right, takes on the institution of nutrition itself, and how we, as a society, have gotten locked into focusing on disease care over health care. The Future of Nutrition was written in collaboration with Dr. Campbell’s grandson, Nelson Disla, who seeks to continue his grandfather’s legacy.
The Future of Nutrition, continued Continued Campbell, “We can no longer deny it—the health of our society is in critical condition and has been for quite some time. Public and professional understanding of nutrition is also in critical condition. The industry is about treating illnesses after they happen. If we take a more proactive approach through the science of nutrition, we can ensure the future of nutrition is different than its past, and we can work to heal our society and our environment.”
