Why is Nutrition So Confusing For So Many? - T. Colin Campbell, PhD

Since the discovery of protein in 1939, nutrition has been ill-defined, in a way that primarily depends on the consumption of animal-based protein and on the summed activities of another 30-40 individual nutrients acting independently. Animal protein is not high quality as often said and the serious illnesses suffered (cardiovascular diseases, cancers, diabetes, chronic kidney disease and many autoimmune diseases) 70-80% of all deaths can often be reversed (treated) by the same nutritional protocol that prevents these diseases. Instead, we rely on the use of pharmaceuticals whose side effects are the fourth leading cause of death, at least.
T. Colin Campbell, PhD, who, at Cornell University, presently holds his Endowed Chair as the Jacob Gould Schurman Professor Emeritus of Nutritional Biochemistry in the Division of Nutritional Sciences, has been dedicated to the science of human health for more than 60 years.
His primary focus is on the association between diet and disease, particularly cancer. Although largely known for the China Study, one of the most comprehensive studies of health and nutrition ever conducted, and recognized by The New York Times as the “Grand Prix of epidemiology” -Dr. Campbell’s profound impact also includes extensive involvement in education, public policy, and laboratory research.
He has received over 70 grant-years of peer-reviewed research funding (mostly with NIH), served on grant review panels of multiple funding agencies, actively participated in the development of national and international nutrition policy, and authored over 350 research papers, most published in peer-reviewed science journals.
To synthesize his findings over his career, and to give back to the public whose lives are threatened by rampant misinformation and special interests, Dr. Campbell co-wrote The China Study: Startling Implications for Diet, Weight Loss and Long-term Health (2005, 2016), which has sold more than 3 million copies worldwide and has been translated into 50 foreign languages. He’s also written the New York Times bestseller Whole (2013), The Low Carb Fraud (2013), and The Future of Nutrition. An Insider’s Look at the Science, Why We Keep Getting It Wrong and How to Start Getting It Right (2020). Several documentary films feature Dr. Campbell and his research, including Forks Over Knives, Eating You Alive, Food Matters, and PlantPure Nation.
He is also the founder of the T. Colin Campbell Center for Nutrition Studies and the online Plant-Based Nutrition Certificate powered by eCornell.

Protein was 'discovered' in 1839 (from the video), not 1939 as stated in the information under the video. Thank you for this video. Dr. Campbell is a luminary.

Actually, you are wrong and Dr. Campbell is right. There is an error saying protein was discovered in 1939 at the intorduction, before Dr. Campbell comes on. To hear his comments go to 24:08 of the video and listen to it.Or rI' I'll attempt to summarize this portion.: Dr. Campbell does say protein was discovered in 1839, not 1939; and the guy who discovered it was Gerald Mohler, who was a chemist. He gave a dog meat, and then took it away. (Actually, dogs still need meat, but we don't). Mohler wanted to find what was in the meat and he discovered the chemical protein.He named it after the Greek word "proteos", meaning "of prime importance".Animal protein increases body weight gain . He goes on to say we don't need any animal protein. I haven't listened to this whole way trhough, but I need to siop here. One last thing: In case he doesn't mention it later, and if you are switching to a plant based diet; learn this: vegetarians, including vegans, do need vitamin B12.on a regular basis. Meat eaters get it from eating animals who get it from unwashed plants and ponds. As soon as the food is washed, B12 is gone, so the best and cheapest way for us to obtain it is to buy a bottle of B12. just use the regular dose reccommended on the bottlle.

@@grandmajoyce2 I said what you are saying about Dr. Campbell's statement, but I will say again that the information under the video says 1939
