Re: Poor vegan and Protein (Colin book)

[Guest guest]

Francesca asked what kind of evidence Colin 's book gives to

back up his statements about protein causing bad health effects.

provided the references from the book which are listed below.

I'll be darned! All the references happen to have " TC " as a

coauthor! Could it be that this TC and Colin are

one and the same guy? Indeed, T. Colin Ph.D. is the author

of " The China Study " . This means that THERE HAS NOT BEEN ANY

independent evaluation of 's claims. The fact that

gets to publish his papers in Nutr. Cancer and Cancer Lett. could mean

only that the editors respect his credentials and do not challenge his

conclusions.

As far as I am concerned, taking into consideration that

coauthored the references, the ideas in the book represent only ONE

PERSON's point of view with NO INDEPENDENT corroborating evidence from

other laboratories or by scientists who are not associated with

. Therefore, 's conclusions have to be viewed

skeptically.
