T. Colin Campbell

Thomas Colin Campbell is a highly respected biochemist, renowned for his work in the field of nutrition and its impact on long-term health. He specializes in advocating for a plant-based, whole foods, low-fat diet and has made significant contributions to the understanding of the relationship between diet and disease.

Dr. Campbell is a Jacob Gould Schurman Professor Emeritus of Nutritional Biochemistry at Cornell University and has been at the forefront of nutrition research for over 40 years. He is well-known for his work on the China Project, the most comprehensive study of health and nutrition ever conducted. The study, which was a collaboration between Cornell University, the University of Oxford, and the Chinese Academy of Preventive Medicine, explored the relationship between nutrition and cancer, heart and metabolic diseases. The China Project was hailed by The New York Times as "the Grand Prix of epidemiology."

In addition to his work on the China Project, Dr. Campbell has received more than 70 grant-years of peer-reviewed research funding and has authored over 300 research papers. He is also the co-author of the bestselling book "The China Study: Startling Implications for Diet, Weight Loss and Long-term Health," which provides empirical support for the benefits of a whole, plant-based food diet. His latest book, "Whole," expands on this research, explaining the science behind the benefits of a whole-food, plant-based diet and demonstrating how it can optimize nutrition and reduce the risk of a broad spectrum of diseases.
