This book may save your life!

This book covers an epidemiological study that does not "prove" what the authors of the book say it does. It finds correlations, not causal links, between life in certain parts of the world and various health indicators. The study authors do not claim a causal link. The book's authors are attempting to get rich making people think that the study says something it doesn't.
Gio (Italy) (2009/11/18):
Contrary to the above comment, I believe this is an excellent book. In my opinion the authors are not trying to get rich since the study started with opposite bias (the authors initially wanted to demonstrate the health benefits of animal products in people diets but, after the study, gathered evidence for the opposite). Also, proofs of the detrimental effect of animal products (an others) on people health are well established and the authors have also re-examined some of those links.
More over, this book is not about one epidemiological study but many. "The China Study' refers to the gathering of data, and its elaboration, from all those previously made researches and some other experiment conducted by the authors too. Basically, the authors found correlations in previous studies and then went on to check the cause of those correlations themselves.
To fully enjoy this book, the reader is strongly advised to put aside own emotions and self-interests and keep his/her mind fully open.

My reading of it was that it made a great case for avoiding red meat (beef,pork and dairy) entirely but concluded with going vegan. Fish and poultry are sizable portions of southeast asian diets and are hardly discussed but are just kind of thrown in at the end.
