"A House of Proteins" chapter

Heard of this book: The China Study by T. Colin Campbell, PhD and Thomas M. Campbell II? It has the latest studies on many cool stuff. For community rotations, I had to give a Case Study (during the PRO lecture) to the Cardiac Rehab patients.
Here's a little snippet.
Relationship Between Animal Protein Consumption and Heart Disease Death in Men Aged Fifty-five to Fifty-nine Across Twenty Different Countries.

This study suggests that the more protein you eat, the more heart disease you have. Studies in human show that eating plant protein has even greater power to lower cholesterol levels than reducing fat or cholesterol intake.

Chart 4.4. Disease Groupings Observed in China
This study shows that affluent people who eat extravagantly (high fat, protein) have certain set of diseases while the poorer people have diseases totally different from the affluent. The major causes of death in the US are the same as richer states in China. This shows that food plays an important role in the type of diseases contracted.

Diseases of affluence (Nutritional Extravagance)
Diseases observed:Cancer (colon, lung, breast, leukemia, childhood brain, stomach, liver) diabetes, coronary heart disease

Diseases of Poverty (Nutritional inadequacy and poor sanitation)
Diseases observed : Pneumonia, intestinal obstruction, peptic ulcer, digestive diseases, pulmonary tuberculosis, parasitic disease, rheumatic heart disease, metabolic and endocrine disease other than diabetes, diseases of pregnancy and many others.
