British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC), Your Credibility Is Tarnished
Dr. Giles Yeo interviewed me for the BBC. It is now abundantly clear that Yeo and the BBC intended to disparage the notion that food matters for our health.
For decades T. Colin Campbell, PhD has been at the forefront of nutrition education and research. Dr. Campbell’s expertise and scientific interests encompass relationships between diet and disease, particularly the causation of cancer. His legacy, the China Project, is one of the most comprehensive studies of health and nutrition ever conducted. Dr. Campbell is the Jacob Gould Schurman Professor Emeritus of Nutritional Biochemistry at Cornell University. He is also the founder of the highly acclaimed, CNS and eCornell Plant-Based Nutrition Certificate and serves as the Chairman of the Board for the T. Colin Campbell Center for Nutrition Studies.

Diet, Cancer and Whole Food – Evita Ochel of Healthytarian Living interviews Dr. T. Colin Campbell.
Dr. Campbell created the term ‘whole food, plant-based’ to distinguish it from vegetarian diets that include processed, high fat foods & often supplements.
For many years I have known and very much appreciated the pioneering work of Dr. John McDougall on the whole food, plant-based dietary lifestyle.
The new PMI is very similar to the experimental design of Dr. Campbell’s 1980’s NIH proposal. Unlike PMI, its emphasis was on nutrition not on pharmaceuticals.
Discussing and debating the underlying science of food can be as personal, contentious and flagrantly irrational as politics or religion.
Eating too much of any rich food, even plants in whole form, may not be a good idea for people with heart disease. However, science shows if eaten in moderation, may provide health benefits.
The conversation surrounding saturated fat continues, when we should be discussing animal protein. By the way, isolated plant oils are not healthy either.
