Resolving the Health Care Crisis: T. Colin Campbel at TEDxEast

Dr.Campbell has spent the last 40 years at the forefront of nutrition research. His major research project the China Project is the largest nutrition study ever conducted. Here he shares his ideas to revolutionize our nation's health.

When I changed to plant-baeed, 80-10-10, I recovered from a disease not listed by Dr. Campbell, that is, the disease of multi-joint (2 knees, 2 hips, confirmed by x-ray) osteoarhtritis. I was barely able to walk and needed all those joints replaced. Without any joint replacements, now I have no pain on ambulation and walk most of the day with no ill effects--this change started from reading Dr. Campbell's first book, The China Study! I idolize the man and feel a great deal of sadness about all the pain I endured all the years of omst of my life.

It should be around my 37 years old, and I am not a strict vegan but started quitting sugary beverages back then until now. It worked well for me as I didn't need to worry about health issue with food and if anything went wrong ,it's always caused by my poor life habit like staying up too often.

[@grantwhite4201]

I would like to first apologize to Dr. Campbell, for the simple fact that I nearly skipped over this video based entirely on the title. Thinking that this was just a lecture based on an opinion on improving the healthcare system, I was pleasantly surprised to see a healthy, elderly man sharing his facts about how the right diet can improve my own health significantly. A healthcare system that currently does not stress or display these facts enough, does not allow the communities to know the health benefits proper nutrition can provide. For instance, Dr. Campbell's statement about how eating whole plant-based foods can help prevent and cure diseases, was astounding to me. His intent of showing his audience the benefits of changing their diets to more nutritional ones, definitely shows beneficence. By encouraging a diet that shows significant results in treating illnesses, Dr. Campbell makes a strong case for me to make the switch.

I THINK YOU SHOULD READ BETWEEN THE LINES ON EVERYTHING THIS MAN TELLS YOU BEFORE PUTTING HIM UP ON A PEDESTAL

[@lazur1]

golfinguna If you have something to say, say it. You've said nothing so far.

[@golfinguna]

Im Yu. For the first 2 minutes he speaks about health costs. This same man spent 27 years carrying out a test (costing millions of $ )in which he fed animals milk for the first 12 years of the test. During those 27 years he told people that he could turn cancer off and on like a switch? He was apparently trying to find a cure for liver cancer. At present there is no known cure for liver cancer. 27 years and millions of $ wasted. At around 3.5 minutes without further ado, he tells us ( just as he does in every video he makes) We should be eating a plant based carbohydrate diet??? Then at about 6 minutes, he shows us a list of almost 20 diseases which he states can be cured by plants? Some of these diseases are known to be caused by carbohydrates (sugars) and we already know that cancer cells feed on sugars and cannot survive without sugar. Then he starts telling everyone about his trials…… NOTE that at about 9.30 minutes, he mentions the milk protein that he uses. He carefully skips over the part that this was actually 12 years into the programme, when he or someone decides lets try another type of protein….YIPEE EUREKA. We didn’t think about it at the time because it was simply a protein that was made available to us….YER of course it was. Like I said read between the lines don`t just listen and believe.

[@lazur1]

golfinguna Thanks. So he's not an angel, didn't know what he didn't know, & took part in studies that proved to be wrong, thus 'wasted' the money spent.. This doesn't conflict with thousands of cases where a whole-food-plant-based, low-fat diets have reversed heart disease & diabetes, & slowed the growth of many tumors.

[@golfinguna]

Time and time again I see others stating exactly the same as you have and it seems likely that you and them are just repeating what McDougall and a few others have told people during these videos. I tend to dissect videos when I watch them. If there are thousands of cases as you stated, then why is there no record of these events. Surely such events as the cures these guys are claiming to have done. would be front page news. Sorry but it does not ring true for me.

Went vegan on August 24, 2017 and haven't looked back. Down almost 80 pounds and haven't 'dieted' one day! I eat beans, veggies, fruit and complex carbohydrates when I'm hungry. The change in me was so drastic, that my 'meat and potatoes' husband decided to try it on January 1, 2018. He's still vegan and plans on being so, (as do I) for the rest of our lives. My husband's A1C dropped from 7.5 to 6 in less than 6 months! Just stop and think about that! Anyone that understands A1C will tell you that this is drastic!

Here's my critic. I love him by the way his work and the research of others convinced me to go vegan. 80-10-10 doesn't let you eat other filling nuttiest dense foods. Nuts, seeds, beans, fatty fruits like avocados, etcetera can all be part of a healthy diet. Obviously you don't eat a cup of nuts like you would oats. But I put a TB in my oats every morning with 2 prices of fruit, cocoa, vanilla, and a TB of chia seeds. These fatty foods keep you filling full and have lots of nutrients you can't get from food that are mostly carbs. My macros tend to be 60% carbs, 30% fat, and 10% protein. I haven't found any long term 80-10-10 diet studies and my diet works best for me. From what I've learned through reading studies and long as you're eating whole plant food and not too many calories you're fine.

Stomach cancer seems most correlated with pickled/preserved foods. The Japanese traditional diet, with its large quantities of tsukemono, results in the highest gastric cancer rates in the industrialized world. Minger noted a correlation (not causation) between greens and stomach cancer in the China Study. If the highest greens intake by rural chinese was by those who depended on preserved foods for winter meals (eating local, no refrigeration), that might account for the gastric cancer.

No one is actually suggesting the data is false, what's false is the conclusions drawn from it. In fact, that's the best part about Minger's review- she's quoting the ACTUAL data that Campbells provides and showing the reader that Campbell's conclusions aren't supported by it.

Again, i will emphasize that Grains were regionally locked, and generally eaten widely by hunters from the Levant. Hunters in New GIneua developed totally different starch staples, such as Sago palm or Taro roots.

I agree with Jared Diamond's conjecture on the nutritional advantages of these cultures.

(cont.) Base- 1. the bottom support of anything; that on which a thing stands or rests I eat meat and MY diet is plant based. And as I pointed out (and cited), in cultures where health-related reasons for eliminating meat are eliminated, it is vegetarians with higher 'atherogenic and cancer' rates. This pretty clearly demonstrates that it isn't the removal of meat from the diet but rather the OTHER changes in diet & lifestyle (ie fitness, whole food, no smoking/drinking) that improve health.

Question for Dr Campbell or anyone who knows?? Is oatmeal a good plant food to eat? Organic of course. Last night I heard Dr Joel Wallach talking on the radio and he said don’t eat oats! I think he also says avoid gluten and wheat, barley, rye and oats. He also recommends taking tons of vitamin and mineral supplements. My main question is Oatmeal?? Thanks.

[@user-sl3zv8cq9k]

I am not sure why Wallach is against oat but I assume too much carbs? so eat thin oat meal might be the solution. I never eat any supplements. it might make you feel good short term but I do not believe it is good for you long term? It's like inhale oxygen. it can help you if you really have trouble breath (in most case those people are dying) but does it do any good for a healthy person?

[@XxrazorxmintxX]

Hmmm I know oats are *naturally* GF but the processing is often done in the same factories as wheat so if you have celiac or gluten sensitivity, you gotta make sure to get GF oats. I’m not sure the reasoning behind avoiding oats as it’s a whole food.

Plant foods are all around us, and it was likely a huge portion of paleolithic man's diet. Of course, variable upon climate and where they lived. People living in Southern France (A refugium during the Ice age) had access to lots of pine nuts, Acorns, Grass seed grains, cattails, and purslane. Agriculture did not pop out of a vaccumm, they likely domesticated foods they already ate a lot.
