The China Study Myths

The China Study: Fact or Fallacy? 
The China Study is often cited as "proof" of the harmfulness of animal products and the superiority of a vegan diet. Yet despite boasting the title "Grand Prix of epidemiology," this large-scale study has been widely misinterpreted and distorted. This lecture examines what the original China Study data really says about diet patterns and health, and also explores the real reasons vegetarian and vegan diets appear beneficial in population studies.

The past is also are strongly celebrated with food. And Slovene-Americans today enthusiastically celebrate their food heritage. Join me for a tour through Slovenia’s small but beautiful and diverse food traditions and regions where they originate, which are as vibrant today as they were in the past. With an introduction by Debbie Smith, local chapter leader from Marietta, Georgia. Attendees will have a chance to win one of three copies of The Food and Cooking of Slovenia by Janez Bogataj, PhD.

The Health Secret of All Indigenous People
Tom Cowan, MD
Format: Audio
In my book, The Fourfold Path to Healing, the fourth “fold” is about thinking, but in our health discussions we don’t talk about this much, we don’t ask our patients how they think, we don’t “correct” or “treat” their thinking. Yet it’s clear that the people Weston Price dealt with had a very different outlook and way of thinking than we do. The question is: does our way of thinking affect our health? My answer is yes, and maybe profoundly. This talk will address the different ways of thinking and seeing the world and provide insight into how these different ways of thinking may affect our health.

Foodways of the Maasai
Chris Masterjohn, PhD
Format: Audio & Slides
The ancient history of the Maasai is shrouded in mystery, but for as long as outsiders have known of them and documented their existence, they have had a constantly evolving society. Throughout this time, they have bred cattle and produced milk and meat, subsisting in part on these products and also trading them for a vast variety of plant products, including many starches. At no time have Maasai ever subsisted entirely on milk and meat, though traditional males do enter a stage of life for up to fifteen years in which they subsist only on these foods in combination with local herbs and honey. Two groups of investigators found the Maasai to have incredibly healthy hearts, which they attributed to their remarkably low cholesterol levels, but the exact nature of their freedom from heart disease and just how healthy their arteries are has been a matter of dispute. To understand the diet and health of the Maasai properly, we must understand that diversity and change have always been constant features of their society. This presentation will explore these topics with the aim of arriving at a nuanced and balanced conclusion.
