    About this ebook

    ¿Qué ocurre cuando te comes una manzana? La respuesta es muchísimo más compleja de lo que te imaginas. Cada manzana contiene miles de antioxidantes cuyos nombres desconocemos, exceptuando unos pocos como la vitamina C.
    Cada una de esas poderosas sustancias químicas juega un papel importante en nuestra salud: influye en miles y miles de reacciones metabólicas en el interior del cuerpo humano. Pero calcular la acción específica de cada una de esas sustancias químicas no es suficiente para explicar el efecto de la manzana como un todo. Hay un número casi infinito de consecuencias biológicas posibles, porque casi todas esas sustancias actúan entre sí, cada una de ellas interactúa con las demás. Y eso es solo lo que ocurre en una manzana. La ciencia nutricional, que ha estado estancada mucho tiempo en una mentalidad reduccionista, está en el umbral de una revolución. 
    El patrón oro tradicional de la investigación nutricional ha consistido en estudiar las sustancias químicas una por una, en un intento de calcular su impacto individual en el cuerpo humano. Esta clase de estudios es valiosa para las compañías alimentarias, que intentan demostrar que hay una sustancia en la leche o en las comidas preparadas y empaquetadas que nos sienta bien; pero estos estudios ofrecen pocos conocimientos sobre la complejidad de lo que verdaderamente ocurre en nuestro cuerpo, o sobre cómo contribuyen esas sustancias a nuestra salud.
    T. Colin Campbell (junto a su hijo, Thomas M.Campbell) revolucionó con su libro El estudio de China nuestra manera de pensar en los alimentos, evidenciando que una dieta de alimentos integrales basada en plantas es la manera más sana de comer. Ahora en Integral (Whole) explica la ciencia que apoya esa evidencia, las maneras que tiene el paradigma científico actual de ignorar la fascinante complejidad del cuerpo humano y por qué lo hace.

      I wish I could double the stars for this book---a further look at why what we eat determines our health more than anything else that we can do---as an individual, a culture, or as a world. It is incredible how much effort Campbell has expended to promote SEEING the whole elephant --an effective picture he returns to frequently in the book--rather than just the parts, never understanding the WHOLE---YES, you are what you eat. It's almost too easy but at the same time almost impossible given the vast array of competitive but misguided forces out there fighting everything he has said or done to get his solid information out.

      If thinking uncritically and misrepresenting nutritional research was a crime, this author would be serving 30 to life. What a waste of time! The author is a conspiracy theory nut and a huge proponent of unscientific woo woo.
    • 2/5
      I found this book to be preachy, condescending, boring, and repetitive. It was extremely easy to follow and understand but it could have added more information rather than repeating the same ideas continuously. What it does have going for it is that it clearly explains how nutrition standards and statistics are generated and points out biases in medical research. Unfortunately, this author has a clear agenda of his own, but, to his credit, he admits this freely. He also points out that his research is largely anecdotal and circumstantial, that he has not established clear causality in many cases, and that his conclusions go against main-stream science and even the scientific method itself.This book is good for people who want to explore different approaches to medicine and nutrition from an alternate perspective.

      Dr. Campbell is a biochemist who has spent decades researching the link between nutrition and health. What he discovered was unexpected and shocking, especially to the Western World - animal based proteins are carcinogens and lead to the development of cancer. The results were published in his best seller, The China Study. With this knowledge, you would think that there would be efforts by government agencies or the food industry to change our diets, but although there is a LOT of money poured into advertising and nutrition, there is very little done in the way of education about nutrition. And that makes Dr. Campbell a very frustrated man. The food industry is a huge business and there is no corporate profit made by telling people to eat broccoli. But, there is big business if people could find a specific chemical in broccoli, package it in a pill and sell it to people as a short cut to good health. The problem is the relationship between nutrition and the human body is complex. Even if a 'health food' contains some mineral, it's not clear that ingesting mega doses of that mineral will give a person the same benefit, let alone cause them harm.Part of this book is a rant against the food industry, drug companies, government agencies who are funded by the food industry, doctors who are pressured to prescribe drugs by big Pharma, and even non-profits like the American Cancer Society who are influenced by big donors ... who happen to be the drug companies. The frustration from Dr. Campbell rings out loud and clear. And some of the frustration makes this book less convincing. He accuses many people of covering up the real information because of greed, but I don't think that is really the big problem and it dilutes his message. Although he is convinced about his findings, nutrition is a complex subject and in the past several years we've learned that what we eat has a much larger influence on our health than we realize. The issues he raises about US government agencies (like the FDA) being controlled by the food industry are important and the influence that big Pharma has over our health recommendations can't possibly be the best for our health. Hopefully, like The China Study, this book will have an impact on diet in the world.

      The book is a a sad indictment of the food and medical industries. Will big food be seen in the same light as big tobacco in 20-30 years time? It is such a pity that something as easy and natural as eating a plant-based diet - it really is easy - should be seen as alternative medicine by the medical establishment.
    • 4/5
      Filled with exhaustive examples of corruption and cover ups, yet dearth particulars supporting the "Whole nutrition." The book indeed covered it some, but dwelled much more on addressing biases and criticisms rather than supporting it's own conclusions.
