Below are two opportunities to dive deeper into the subject!

The course was designed by Dr. T Colin Campbell, a nutritional biochemist who studied the subject for 60+ years at Cornell University. He's also the author of myth-busting books THE CHINA STUDY, WHOLE: Rethinking the Science of Nutrition, THE FUTURE OF NUTRITION and LOW CARB FRAUD.
