The China Study
A long-running nutrition study making the case that a whole-food, plant-based diet is linked to better long-term health.
Drawing on a large, long-running study of diet and disease in rural China, along with decades of the authors’ own research, T. Colin Campbell and his son argue that a whole-food, plant-based diet is linked to lower rates of heart disease, diabetes, and some cancers. The book makes a sweeping case against animal-based foods and became a touchstone for the plant-based movement, as well as a target for critics.

This is the only nonpolitical book on my list, but it changed my life. The book, based on a two-decades-long study, busts common myths about food, making the case that humans do not need meat or other animal products. The argument is all built on sound research and medical testing, not fake science.
