My friend back in Boston was talking to me about the China study. She mentioned that it was commissioned on Federal dollars, but then was shelved when completed. She recalls that this was due to the agriculture lobby leaning on the Fed to keep some apparently damning evidence against them. I have not confirmed that myself, but I will work on it when I have time.
Additionally, a quick Google search for "the china study" brings up several websites with "critiques" of the book, and from the little preview text in the search engine window, most of these pages look to be TRASHING it. Now again, that doesn't mean anything, because the internet is a notorious repository for bullshit, except this: I guess I'm gonna have to actually read the book and/or the original research articles before I can give a real review. So, let's be honest--don't expect it anytime too soon.
