T. Colin Campbell Quote: “At this point, any scientist, doctor, journalist, or policy maker who denies or minimizes the importance of a whole food, plant-based diet for individual and societal well-being simply isn’t looking clearly at the facts. There’s just too much good evidence to ignore anymore.”
T. Colin Campbell Quote: “Even rational, data-driven scientists could be sent into prolonged states of hysteria when presented with evidence that their favorite foods might be killing them.”
T. Colin Campbell Quote: “I have come to see that the benefits produced by eating a plant-based diet are far more diverse and impressive than any drug or surgery used in medical practice. Heart diseases, cancers, diabetes, stroke and hypertension, arthritis, cataracts, Alzheimer’s disease, impotence and all sorts of other chronic diseases can be largely prevented. These diseases, which generally occur with aging and tissue degeneration, kill the majority of us before our time.”
T. Colin Campbell Quote: “Excessive animal protein is at the core of many chronic diseases.”
T. Colin Campbell Quote: “Notice that a strict vegetarian diet is not necessarily the same thing as a WFPB diet. Some people become vegetarian only to replace meat with dairy foods, added oils, and refined carbohydrates, including pasta made with refined grains, sweets, and pastries. I refer to these people as “junk-food vegetarians” because they are not consuming a nutritious diet.”
T. Colin Campbell Quote: “Despite the potential of diet and disease prevention, most of the attention given to heart disease has been on mechanical and chemical intervention for those people who have advanced disease. Diet has been pushed aside.”
T. Colin Campbell Quote: “So how does the plant manage these complex reactions and protect against errant electrons and free radicals? It puts up a shield around potentially dangerous reactions that sponges up these highly reactive substances. The shield is made up of antioxidants that intercept and scavenge electrons that might otherwise stray from their course.”
T. Colin Campbell Quote: “In Haiti at that time 54% of the children were dead before reaching their fifth birthday, largely because of malnutrition.”
T. Colin Campbell Quote: “Protein during promotion trumps the carcinogen, regardless of initial exposure.”
T. Colin Campbell Quote: “It is a type of science originally advocated 2,400 years ago by the Father of Medicine, Hippocrates, who said, “There are, in effect, two things: to know and to believe one knows. To know is science. To believe one knows is ignorance.”
T. Colin Campbell Quote: “One group was given AF and then fed diets containing 20% protein. The second group was given the same level of AF and then fed diets containing only 5% protein. Every single rat fed 20% protein got liver cancer or its precursor lesions, but not a single animal fed a 5% protein diet got liver cancer or its precursor lesions. It was not a trivial difference; it was 100% versus 0%.”
T. Colin Campbell Quote: “That’s another pitfall of reductionism: Until scientists have the means to isolate and measure things, they insist those things don’t and can’t exist, and anyone who says otherwise is ignorant an superstitious.”
T. Colin Campbell Quote: “This is also the case with our disease-care system: it focuses on treating symptoms as if they were root causes, and as a result, it tends to choose interventions that completely ignore the true root causes and thus make it highly likely that symptoms will reappear.”
T. Colin Campbell Quote: “Real” scientists investigate parts, not wholes. But this diminishes the goals of true science. What most scientists are doing today really should be called technology, not science.”
T. Colin Campbell Quote: “The national debate on health-care reform wildly misses the mark, with Democrats and Republicans alike arguing about who’s going to pay rather than about what would actually make people healthy.”
T. Colin Campbell Quote: “If we limit our sight to individual players, we’ll never see the big picture. The issue is a systemic one, maintained by interconnected actors, all acting in their self-interest to further their goals. The trouble is not, or not always, the actors themselves, or their intrinsic motivations. Instead, it’s the overarching goal of the entire system that’s at fault: corporate profit above public health.”
T. Colin Campbell Quote: “Costs have so consistently outpaced inflation that we now spend one out of every seven dollars the economy produces on health care.”
T. Colin Campbell Quote: “Plant- and animal-based foods are hugely different in terms of their nutrient contents, and watching what foods you consume is far more important than obsessing over calorie-counting without respect to where those calories come from.”
T. Colin Campbell Quote: “What is clear is that diets naturally high in fiber and low in animal-based foods can prevent colorectal cancer.”
T. Colin Campbell Quote: “Most Americans know that if you have high cholesterol, you should worry about your heart, but they don’t know that you might want to worry about cancer as well.”
T. Colin Campbell Quote: “I don’t care if you eat worms and cardboard; if you eat 35% fewer calories, you will lose weight and your cholesterol levels will improve50 in the short run, but that is not to say that worms and cardboard form a healthy diet.”
T. Colin Campbell Quote: “In a landmark paper published almost thirty years ago, researchers compared environmental factors and cancer rates in thirty-two countries around the world.65 One of the strongest links between any cancer and any dietary factor was between colon cancer and meat intake.”
T. Colin Campbell Quote: “Common sense doesn’t always ring true for many people; they want empirical evidence, the scientific stuff.”
