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.
