T. Colin Campbell, Ph.D.

"What goes on inside a cell is an extraordinary thing of beauty."

Dr. Campbell is the J.G. Schurman Professor of Nutritional Biochemistry at Cornell University. He is currently the Project Director of the China-Oxford-Cornell Diet and Health Project, a multinational project responsible for nationwide surveys of diet, lifestyle and mortality in China. He studies the effects of nutrition on long-term health, particularly on the causation of cancer.

During a speech at the 34th World Vegetarian Congress in Toronto, Dr. Campbell said, "We cannot talk about biology...nutrition...health separately... Everything we see...clearly is pointing to plant-based foods as a way of maintaining health."
