In a compelling new analysis, T. Colin Campbell, coauthor of The China Study and author of the New York Times bestselling follow-up, Whole, brings to light a series of first-hand experiences that starkly demonstrate how corporate influence in academia, government and the media determines - and sometimes actively suppresses - public access to nutrition research. With an eye-opening look behind-the-scenes of nutrition policy, The Whole Truth maps out an alarming pattern that amplifies institutionally backed 'standards of health' while suppressing substantial information on natural, nutritional alternatives. Campbell calls attention to shocking instances in which leading-edge research was prevented or silenced, including: A report on the impact of nutrition on hepatitis B - with implications for COVID-19 - that was rejected from academic journals without professional review; Research on the unique benefits of breastfeeding that was silenced in favor of funding from infant formula companies like Nestle; An award-winning researcher's promising children's nutrition program, which failed to receive USDA funding when it came into competition with an academic peer; Established research that animal proteins promote cancer and heart disease, despite still be encouraged by government-mandated health guidelines. From school lunches and baby formula to cancer-preventing treatments, The Whole Truth offers a knowledgeable, incisive perspective on overlooked science, the startling powers at work behind modern nutrition misinformation - and how it manifests on our plates.
