For more than forty years, Dr. T. Colin Campbell has been at the forefront of nutrition research. His legacy, the China Project, is the most comprehensive study of health and nutrition ever conducted. Dr. Campbell is the Jacob Gould Schurman Professor Emeritus of Nutritional Biochemistry at Cornell University. He has more than seventy grant-years of peer-reviewed research funding and authored more than 300 research papers and coauthor of the bestselling the book, The China Study: Startling Implications for Diet, Weight Loss and Long-term Health.
Dr. Campbell: There are two core elements of his preventive measures. The first is “The Gene Array Analysis” which allows people to analyze their gene profiles. I disagree with this approach because no matter what genes you have, nutrition can control and enhance these genes. The second initiative is “Personalized Health Integrated Medicine”. This would allow people to analyze the clinical biomarkers they have so that a physician would come up with a drug for this, a drug for that, a whole cocktail to create for an individual who mayget sick. This does not deliver health to the masses and is very expensive and this does not deliver health and is not about preventive medicine.
Interviewer: Can you give us highlights about your book “The China Study” and tell us what you have discovered?
Dr. Campbell: As a biomedical researcher I did a lot of basic research in China on why cancer was so prominent in some areas but not in others and analyzed what kinds of things would lead into the prospect of getting cancer. I discovered that nutrition has a huge relation to disease and health in general. I see a whole new perspective on health that creates more health for less expense when our current system is more expense for less health.
Interviewer: One last question on the health insurance industry. Do you see any possibility of a partnership with the holistic health community because prevention would certainly help lower the run-away costs of healthcare?
Dr. Campbell: It is an expensive system but they (health insurance companies) are making a lot of money! They are not as serious as they seem to be in regards to converting over to wellness and prevention. There are exceptions and individuals within the healthcare industry that will argue and say that we need to bring prevention under control. With healthcare reform of any kind, the delivery system has to be affordable, convenient, and people should be able to independently monitor their own health.

Tests of KFC's new Kentucky Grilled Chicken have revealed substantial amounts of a carcinogenic chemical in all samples tested, according to a report released by the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine (PCRM), which is asking KFC to withdraw the product from sale.
A PCRM scientist visited six different KFC stores, obtained two samples from each location, and sent them to an independent testing laboratory. All 12 samples were found to contain PhIP, a chemical classified as a carcinogen by the federal government. More information, please visit www.pcrm.org
