What we eat is a leading factor in our health, longevity, and quality of life, and can be a deciding factor in preventing fatal chronic diseases like cancer. Yet even now, the overwhelming importance of nutrition in health is rarely part of the conversation. In a compelling new analysis, T. Colin Campbell, coauthor of The China Study and author of the New York Times bestselling follow-up, Whole, brings to light a series of first-hand experiences that starkly demonstrate how corporate influence in academia, government and the media determinesand sometimes actively suppressespublic access to nutrition research. With an eye-opening look behind-the-scenes of nutrition policy, Swallowed Whole maps out an alarming pattern that amplifies institutionally backed "standards of health" while suppressing substantial information on natural, nutritional alternatives. Campbell calls attention to shocking instances in which leading-edge research was prevented or silenced, including:
- A report on the impact of nutrition on hepatitis Bwith implications for COVID-19that was rejected from academic journals without professional review
- Research on the unique benefits of breastfeeding that was silenced in favor of funding from infant formula companies like Nestlé
- An award-winning researcher's promising children's nutrition program, which failed to receive USDA funding when it came into competition with an academic peer
- Established research that animal proteins promote cancer and heart disease, despite still be encouraged by government-mandated health guidelines
From school lunches and baby formula to cancer-preventing treatments, Swallowed Whole offers a knowledgeable, incisive perspective on overlooked science, the startling powers at work behind modern nutrition misinformationand how it manifests on our plates.
