Strong Bones - Strong Bones is brought to you by the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine. If you think your kids need milk to grow strong bones, it's time for a second opinion. A major research study published in Pediatrics in 2000 showed that getting extra calcium - from milk or anything else - doesn't make any difference at all in bone density. And evidence show that dairy product consumption contributes to obesity, ear infections, constipation, respiratory problems, heart disease, and some cancers.

But different diets can have very different effects on health. Some diets have important advantages, while others present certain risks.

The China Study - The China Studygives critical, life-saving nutritional information for every health-seeker in America. But, it is much more; Dr. Campbell's exposé of the research and medical establishment makes this book a fascinating read and one that could change the future for all of us. Every health care provider and researcher in the world must read it.

Food Revolution - Here you will find information about the work of John Robbins, and resources to help you make food and life choices that enhance your health, express your compassion, and help create a thriving, just and sustainable planet.
