The Trump Card for Health

The author of the well-known China Study tells us: “In a nutshell, the ‘miracle cure’ science has been chasing for the past half-century turns out not to be a new wonder drug painstakingly formulated after decades of brilliant and relentless lab work, or a cutting-edge surgical tool, or technique using lasers and nanotechnology, or some transformation of our DNA that will turn us all into immortal Apollos and Venuses. Instead, the secret of health has been in front of us all along, in the guise of a simple and perhaps boring word: nutrition. When it comes to our health, it turns out the trump card is the food put in our mouths each day.

“The medical and scientific research establishments have systematically dismissed and even suppressed [these findings]. . . And paying the piper. . .are the pharmaceutical and food industries, which are trying to convince us that salvation can be found in a pill, or an enriched snack food made from plant fragments and artificial ingredients.”
