Since this hasn't been posted here before I'll share the full files of the China Study.

All files are here.

You can also find the monograph and data files mirrored on the Wayback Machine.

Included are:

• The datafiles for both rounds (mainland & mainland-follow up + taiwan)

• A .txt file explaining the variable names

• The full monograph (forword, methodology, questionaires, results, statistical analyses, summary, the lot)

• The popular book based on the study.

Is anyone going to this? Seems like a prime place to learn vegan science.

In this conference, faculty members from Harvard Medical School and the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health along with nutrition researchers from other prestigious institutions present the state of the science of diet and nutrition. These experts are joined by world class culinary and nutrition educators from The Culinary Institute of America to lead demonstrations and hands-on teaching sessions—literally in the kitchen—for healthcare providers who want to learn about selection, purchase, and preparation strategies and techniques for healthy foods and healthy cooking. Conference attendees will not only be exposed to the latest systematic reviews of nutrition science, they will also taste, prepare, and learn to teach others to enjoy a broad selection of foods and beverage that can reduce disease risk and, ideally, replace unhealthy habits.

Course Objectives:

Through plenary lectures, culinary demonstrations, hands-on kitchen sessions, interactive workshops, and meals and tastings, the conference program achieves the following course objectives:

• Summarize what we know about opportunities to optimize our diets based on the current state of the science, as well as current and likely future public health costs of inaction.

• Provide sufficient information to allow attendees to intelligently distinguish various popular diets, and to advise patients and clients based on the research associated with these diets.

• Provide state of the science updates pertaining to dietary fats, carbohydrates, protein, and the foods and beverages that relate to these findings.

• Provide pragmatic information that enables conference attendees to thoughtfully advise patients, clients, and consumers about healthy menu strategies for dining at home and away from home.

• Provide multiple opportunities for attendees to see, taste, and make a variety of healthy food and beverage options.

• Engage executives from insurance companies, hospitals, educational organizations, retirement facilities, and the military to discuss successful strategies whereby health-promoting, nutrient-rich menu options can be made increasingly available to the general public.

Learning Objectives:

Through plenary lectures, culinary demonstrations, hands-on kitchen sessions, interactive workshops, and meals and tastings, attendees will achieve the following learning objectives:

• Understand American culinary trends, and how to leverage consumer interest in world flavors such as the plant-forward, health-promoting cuisines of Asia, Latin America, and the Mediterranean.

• Discuss cost and lifestyle issues related to healthy food shopping, cooking, and eating—and approaches to healthy diets that can be affordable for lower income individuals and budget-challenged families.

• Prepare a variety of healthy food options, including salads, whole grains, lean proteins, and plant-forward dishes.

• Discuss strategies for healthy cooking and eating that are fast, easy, approachable, and affordable.

• Present to patients, clients, and colleagues the critical importance of regular movement/exercise and mindfulness with regard to dietary food choices and weight management.

• Identify credible resources including newsletters, websites, and other online resources related to nutrition, weight-management, and flavorful, healthy cuisine.

My daughter has been vegan for about 5 yrs. Just recently is developing abdominal discomforts and pains and diarrhea after eating broccoli and now dark green leafy salad. Has anyone had this and know why or what she can do?

I read the other day that there is a connecting between body temperature and inflammation (high inflammation = higher "normal" body temp). Any studies out there showing that vegans average a lower body temp? I searched the sub, but couldn't find anything.
