La evidencia cientfica es clara, los resultados son inequvocos. Cambia tu dieta y reducirs el riesgo de padecer cncer, enfermedades cardiovasculares, diabetes y obesidad.



Desde donde lo queramos ver, la salud de Norteamrica y de los pases occidentales est empeorando. Cada vez gastamos ms dinero en asistencia sanitaria y, sin embargo, dos tercios de la poblacin tienen sobrepeso y 15 millones de norteame ricanos padecen diabetes. Las enfermedades cardiovasculares tienen la misma incidencia que hace treinta aos, y la guerra contra el cncer, lanzada en la dcada de los aos setenta, ha sido un fracaso estrepitoso. Casi ms de la mitad de la poblacin padece alguna enfermedad que requiere tomar medicamentos cada semana y ms de 100 millones de norteamericanos tienen el colesterol demasiado elevado.



Para empeorar las cosas, estamos guiando a nuestros jvenes a travs de un camino de enfermedades y padecimientos cada vez ms rpido. Los jvenes se enferman ms que antes y un tercio de nuestros nios tiene sobrepeso o est en camino de tenerlo. Adems, un tipo de diabetes que antes solo afectaba a los adultos, est incidiendo cada vez ms en los nios.



El Estudio de China presenta un mensaje esperanzador, claro y conciso. Al mismo tiempo, desvela muchos mitos y mucha desinformacin. Si quieres estar sano, cambia tu dieta.
