Minger isn’t the only one to question if the data from the China study actually supports Campbell’s general conclusions (eating plant=healthful, eating animals = not healthful). Here’s a post from the authors of The Perfect Health Diet that draws some interesting conclusions:

And here’s Minger’s own rebuttal to Campbell’s rebuttal:

Minger’s post above includes a number of peer reviewed studies that draw much different conclusions from The China Study data (some co-authored by Campbell himself). Minger’s analysis may be flawed, but so is Campbell’s general conclusion that The China Study provides strong support that meat-eating is correlated with disease.

Try to stop propagating this rubbish. I lost most of my interest in what you had to stay after this.

Here is a link to Dr. Campbells’ thorough rebukement of Denise Minger and her attempt at proving more than 50 scientists peer-review publications incorrect with her English major degree and a little bit of univariate causality linkage: http://www.vegsource.com/news/2010/07/china-study-author-colin-campbell-slaps-down-critic-denise-minger.html

Personally I think there is enough evidence against soy to not include it in my diet, but I agree that one study is not enough to make any sweeping conclusions. Thanks for your comments.

So it’s not just little tiny cubes of tofu that you find in a bowl of miso soup. The majority of protein source for thousands of years in China has been soy including all of their derived products.

Most traditional Asian diets are high in vegetables and thus high in folate, which would to some extent counterbalance the phytic acid in soy (which reduces folate absorption).

Many sources of soy in the U.S. diet are from modern/manufactured/processed foods (soy hot dogs, soy milk) … much different than small cubes of tofu in miso soup (traditional diet).

Does that mean all of their brains are smaller. Before Japan and China adopted a “western” style of eating, their health profile was “healthier” minimum heart disease, minimum breast cancer, etc.

Now that Microsoft and Cisco are fighting over Skype, I guess that is the next target for Open Source: VOIP services or maybe we should call it VOI4P (VOI 4 the People! :)
Just as the planet readjust to change, so must we learn to and re-integrate ourselves with its ecosphere, leaving the Teraparasites to starve, in an Open Source, Post Peak Oil where the Local Pound is worth more than gold!
