, T. Colin Campbell has claimed that the Oxford-Cornell-China Epidemiological Study provides strong evidence that "animal-based foods" cause degenerative diseases and that a "plant-based diet" (code for vegan diet) effectively prevents the diseases of civilization. A brilliant blogger named Denise Minger has put up what I think appears to provide the most detailed, damning deconstruction of the myth of the China Study. Entitled The China Study: Fact or Fallacy?, this 9000 word post dissects the data published in the China Study itself, revealing that Dr. Campbell apparently ignored data that did not support his vegan stance. I highly recommend that you take the time to read it to see an example of critical thinking in action.
