Colin Campbell and Thomas Campbell (the authors of The China Study) with Howard Lyman, aka The Mad Cowboy. The elder Campbell is a nutritional biochemist. Both books/authors are excellent sources of information. No, I'm not confusing anything. Both Lyman and Campbell have similar family backgrounds: both started out as meat/dairy guys, and both ended up vegan. For Lyman, the turning point was a personal brush with cancer. For Campbell, it was also cancer -- not his own, but liver cancer in a population of Filipino children, initiated by the children's ingestion of aflatoxins (in peanut butter) and then promoted by their consumption of animal proteins. Campbell spent virtually his entire professional career (as a nutritional biochemist at Cornell) engaged in government-funded animal protein research. He had started out looking for ways to grow leaner beef for third-world countries, and then, based on his own research, did a complete 180 and ended up rejecting animal protein altogether, as inappropriate and unsafe (for humans). -MEC > , " Mary E.
