I don't have much time right now. But for starters a BIG BIG inaccuracy is when he reported that the author, Dr. Campbell, stated that a vegan diet can cure cancer. Dr. Campbell never stated that a vegan diet can cure cancer.
Did someone pay Dr. Simpson to do this hatchet job? Was it the Meat and Dairy Association?
Or is the website simply a phony setup.
Pooh, if you really wanted to know the truth, you would take the time to read the book for yourself.

If I really want to know about the China Study, I will read the actually study and then the book. Not sure if I can access the information. In all probability, I know I will not. Various eating patterns have been tried over the course of my lifetime and I've come to realize what foods keep me feeling well and happy. Alas, lots of fruit and veggies to the exclusion of animal protein, does not work for me.
I will continue to check on what you've said about Simpson saying the book states vegan diets can cure cancer. From portions of the book that I have read online, it seems that the book implies that this may be the case. I'm sure if I've interpreted this incorrectly, you'll be kind enough to correct me.
Actually, I just presented Dr. Simpson's website as an opposing view to veganism. There are many others who feel an all plant based diet isn't the best for mankind.
We all have matters, events, situations we feel strongly about. I don't really know you, VPL, can only get some of your personality from what and how you write here. Doing what you feel will help keep you free from certain conditions, is important to you and the vegan diet appears to be how you are going about achieving this. Hopefully it will work well for you and you will continue to live with the excellent health you now seem to be experiencing. Many of us recognize the importance of a good diet, but feel there are other diets more suitable for how we want to live. Everyday new research unlocks some of the mystery of what Man is and how Man works...it's really kind of neat. Hopefully one day there will be a definitive answer to why certain diseases plague us, why certain genes causing deformities, illness, turn on in some situations.
In the meantime, we all do what we think is best for us. I wish you health and happiness....
