hi,
The book called ,"the china study" has been reviewed very negatively because it is not a study in the scientfic sense of the word. It is one man's very biased observation of a small population which did not adhere to the rules of objective, scientific inquiry-which made him a fortune.
Here is one link to a discussion of the flaws in the book:

For the record, I think people should eat whatever way they want. I am against people saying that one way of eating is morally, ethically or nutritionally superior when there isn't any evidence to support such theories.
I wont't comment on this thread any more.
