(32,189 posts)A brief prepared by who- the critics?
If you go back and actually read the whole book, many of these so-called critiques were predicted and adressed.
I read the above link that supposedly exposes Cambell's peer reviewed scientific study as "fake"-and that is my analysis.
It looks like they did not read it either. Cambell in fact does address genes and environment as related to cancer- but both are linked to nutrition.
Also, Cambell does not focus on vitamin pills and supplements, as the above link indicates- from what I can remember from my reading, he charactierizes them as marketing gimicks and stresses the imporatnce of getting nutrients from whole foods. It's like they are making stuff up out of nowhere.
You have not even read the book, yet you make definite conclusions about it being "fake."
So much for all the high-handed talk about peers, science, doing your research, etc. Maybe we should just put on a big puppet show about how great meat is and call it a day?
