Well I guess U expected a reply from me

This doctor is misguided and makes the mistakes many in his position do regarding the science. Others will be convinced diet has little influence on these conditions. You put your trust in where you feel the data is the strongest. I tend to believe Dr.’s Campbell, Esseltyn & Ornish and their perspectives.

Dr. Simpson makes many unsupported claims, just appears to make bald face statements off the top of his head attempting to invalidate a highly recognized work in one page. Someone providing a rebuttal of The China Study findings should me more familiar with the material than this.

He cites famous Vegans dying of cancer; almost everyone was a vegetarian not a vegan, big difference.

He uses those two diets several times incorrectly.

"That a vegan diet could prevent cancer is bunk. One need look no further than Steve Jobs, co-founder of Apple Computer, who lived a vegetarian diet his life, and died of cancer."

Hello Steve Jobs was a vegetarian not a vegan, but he just babbles on like he was.

In my opinion people believe eating a plant based diet will reduce their chances of getting cancer, I doubt seriously many truly believe this prevents all cancers.

Pooh what you may also find interesting is this Dr, is his love of cigars.

Cigar Talk: Conversations of the herf [Paperback]
Terry Simpson MD FAC Only $17 on Amazon.


Steak and a fine cigar, "Don't bother me, I'm dying"

Or is that moderation?

This doctors primary business is the lapband surgery, not nutrition, in fact he has issues with that surgery, was found negligent of malpractice or wrongful death of a woman and a court awarded the husband 1.38M in 2011 for Gastric Banding Death......


Did a bit more research on his writings.

His source on The China Study seems to be Denise Mingers, who is a researcher wannabe with an English Lit degree and a blog. She's a good writer but has no qualifications to analyze the raw data of the China Study. Yet, meat advocates often use her amateur analysis as "proof" that The China Study has been "debunked". Like a peer-reviewed study could be so transparently flawed that an English major, with no research training, could "debunk" it while Dr. Campell's colleagues and the whole scientific community apparently couldn't.

Dr. Campell responded to her here
