The China Study Diet
Dear Friend,
About a year ago I remember having dinner with a
brother-in-law (on the American side).
He's a vegan - so he was eating nothing but broccoli
and some other greens.
Now, just so you know up front, I am NOT criticizing his
diet in the least. If it works for him, I'm all for it - and
apparently it does, as it cleared him of some health
problems he was having a couple years ago.
Anyway, during the course of the meal he brought up
China and the way they supposedly eat, which, he
assumed, was pretty much the same as the diet he
was following.
He was definitely more than a bit suprised when I told
him that the Chinese are BIG meat eaters. He figured
otherwise, afterall, he'd read diet books, written by
Americans, that said the Chinese don't eat much meat.
And he'd also read that the reason why the Chinese
enjoy superior health, especially when compared to
Americans, is because Americans eat too much meat
and the Chinese rarely eat it - if they eat it at all.
Now, I'm not sure what Chinese were being studied for
these books on diet and disease, but if they're vegans
or vegetarians, I'd sure like to meet them.
Not only is my wife Chinese, but so are her parents
and family. Her mother and father live with us. And
we travel to our vacation home on China's Hainan Island
at least twice a year. I spend a few months each year
in China - and have been traveling here since 1993.
My wife, her sister, brother and everyone else in her
family have enjoyed superb health. Her father is 70
and in great shape. Master Zhang, whom I've introduced
to you in a couple of my courses, namely, Chuang Shang
de Gong Fu and the Chinese Long-Life System, is 55 and
looks 35.
And every single one of the people I have just named, as
well as everyone else I have ever met of Chinese decent,
is a meat eater.
Chinese consume large amounts of pork and based on what I
have witnessed, pork is the most consumed meat in China. This
alone is a mind-bender because a good many of the world's
population thinks that pork is the WORST meat you can eat.
Chicken comes in second on the most-consumed list.
Beef is third. Lamb is fourth. Fish would be fifth and duck would
be sixth.
After that you have a host of other animals that we don't think
of as proper for consumption.
Naturally, the above can change based upon "where" in China
you're living, but overall, this is what I have observed and
my family and friends over here have confirmed it.
Yes, the Chinese do consume a lot of fresh fruits and vegetables.
They also consume a lot of starch in the form of rice, noodles,
bread, and so on.
They are NOT big consumers of water. They do drink green and
white teas quite a bit - but gulping water the way we do in the U.S.
is not something you see going on very much.
I am reporting this in today's email to let you know that there are
many reasons for the Chinese enjoying superior health. But to
date, not a single one of them is because of this so-called truth
that they don't eat meat - or that they only have a smidgeon of
meat once a week.
Not so.
In the future I plan to release a special report that gives the
reasons for the superior health of the Chinese - based upon
what I have observed and read whilst visiting this country.
Also, I'll be covering my current visit to China in a forthcoming
issue of my monthly newsletter and CD, which is enjoyed by
an ever-growing following of Furey Faithful. To find out how you
