About Dr Campbell:

T. Colin Campbell PhD., chief U.S. investigator for the China Study, was an unlikely candidate for becoming one of the main scientific defenders of a plant based diet. “I was raised on a dairy farm and ate plenty of meat and eggs” he says, “and I wrote my PhD. dissertation on the ways animal protein could be produced more efficiently so we could eat more animal-based foods” But once he started doing nutritional research in the 1960s, this defender of meat consumption became convinced that, in fact, a diet as low as possible in animal-based products was a far healthier choice. “I was just paying attention to what the scientific evidence was showing me” he says. Now his diet is over 90% nutrient rich foods and he and his wife, Karen, have raised five children who consume an essentially plant-based diet.

T. Colin Campbell, PhD, Jacob Gould Schurman Emeritus Professor of Nutritional Biochemistry has been the Senior Science Advisor to the American Institute of Cancer Research/World Research Fund. Among his many achievements including more than 300 scientific publications?he was one of the co-authors of the National Academy of Sciences landmark report on Diet, Nutrition and Cancer, which recommended increased consumption of fruits, vegetables and whole grains.
