From the coauthor of The China Study and author of the New York Times bestselling follow-up, Whole Despite extensive research and overwhelming public information on nutrition and health science, we are more confused than ever—about the foods we eat, what good nutrition looks like, and what it can do for our health. In The Future of Nutrition, T. Colin Campbell cuts through the noise with an in-depth analysis of our historical relationship to the food we eat, the source of our present information overload, and what our current path means for the future—both for individual health and society as a whole. In these pages, Campbell takes on the institution of nutrition itself, unpacking: Why the institutional emphasis on individual nutrients (instead of whole foods) as a means to explain nutrition has had catastrophic consequences How our reverence for "high quality" animal protein has distorted our understanding of cholesterol, saturated fat, unsaturated fat, environmental carcinogens, and more Why mainstream food and nutrient recommendations and public policy favor corporate interests over that of personal and planetary health How we can ensure that public nutrition literacy can prevent and treat personal illness more effectively and economically 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.

What we eat is a leading factor in our health, longevity, and quality of life, and can be a deciding factor in preventing fatal chronic diseases like cancer. Yet even now, the overwhelming importance of nutrition in health is rarely part of the conversation. In a compelling new analysis, T. Colin Campbell, coauthor of The China Study and author of the New York Times bestselling follow-up, Whole, brings to light a series of first-hand experiences that starkly demonstrate how corporate influence in academia, government and the media determines—and sometimes actively suppresses—public access to nutrition research. With an eye-opening look behind-the-scenes of nutrition policy, Swallowed Whole maps out an alarming pattern that amplifies institutionally backed “standards of health” while suppressing substantial information on natural, nutritional alternatives. Campbell calls attention to shocking instances in which leading-edge research was prevented or silenced, including: A report on the impact of nutrition on hepatitis B—with implications for COVID-19—that was rejected from academic journals without professional review Research on the unique benefits of breastfeeding that was silenced in favor of funding from infant formula companies like Nestlé An award-winning researcher’s promising children’s nutrition program, which failed to receive USDA funding when it came into competition with an academic peer Established research that animal proteins promote cancer and heart disease, despite still be encouraged by government-mandated health guidelines From school lunches and baby formula to cancer-preventing treatments, Swallowed Whole offers a knowledgeable, incisive perspective on overlooked science, the startling powers at work behind modern nutrition misinformation—and how it manifests on our plates.
