Publisher's Summary
Why, despite the many advances in science and technology over the past few decades, does our health only seem to be getting worse? Why, despite so much time and energy spent studying the foods we eat, are we more confused than ever about nutrition - what good nutrition looks like, and what it can do for our health?
Colin Campbell’s first book, The China Study - with 3 million copies sold (and growing!) - laid out the exhaustive evidence for the whole foods, plant-based diet as the healthiest way to eat. His New York Times best-selling follow-up, Whole, addressed the widespread scientific emphasis on reductionism that has kept our focus on the discrete behaviors of individual vitamins and nutrients in the foods we eat, rather than diet’s synergistic effects on health.
Now, in The Future of Nutrition: An Insider’s Look at the Science, Why We Keep Getting It Wrong, and How to Start Getting It Right, Campbell takes on the institution of nutrition itself: the history of how we got locked in to focusing on “disease care” over health care; the widespread impact of our reverence of animal protein on our interpretation of scientific evidence; the way even well-meaning organizations can limit what science is and is not taken seriously; and what we can do to ensure the future of nutrition is different than its past.
The Future of Nutrition offers a fascinating deep-dive behind the curtain of the field of nutrition - with implications both for our health and for the practice of science itself.

Unbias findings from an ethical man
Iv read all Campbell's books to date so I almost gave this one a miss. I did not want to hear the same information from a different angle.
However, this is a good read and worth the credit. Campbell really takes the gloves off and calls out the controlling institutes for what they are. These institutes are about hierarchy, money and controlling the history and information we get to read. It takes a brave honorable man to go against the grain.
We are coming into an age were information is rapidly being censored and those who dare to voice an opinion are being labeled lunatics.
Meanwhile cult like "group think" appears to be the order of the day. Implemented by those who are paid to obey orders rather than think for themselves.

Spleen Venting
I bought this book on the assumption that it was centred on a scientific analysis of nutrition and (judging by the cover) a guide to the future of nutrition. I should have looked harder. Wrong book.
It appears the author has other books along this line but not this one. This book isn't really about nutrition. This book is basically a 'mein kamf' of a man that's spent too long in academe (or at least in the circles he keeps) and thinks the world cares about his personal slights and irritations experienced in the thrust-and-cut of scientific debate.
Every scientist that spends time in infinitely divisible and endlessly debateable research usually gets used to aggravation of some kind and hopefully develops a sense-of-humour out of it all. The general reader knows this and doesn't need to have it reiterated in the form of a book. Generally readers who buy this kind of book are discerning enough to understand the science, politics, envy, egotism, self-serving interests, corporate manipulation, etc.
A holiday for the author would have been a lot better therapy than this tedious book. Or at least spent less time writing to us in a first-person mode which I found quite irritating.
I suppose I'll have to look at some of his other books but this one is a waste of time.
