In an earlier post I said I would post links showing a possible relationship between high levels of protein consumption, and Cancer, and other diseases. Although many alternative health practitioners have felt this to be true for some time, T Colin Campbell is the scientist who brought it to wider attention. His major work "The China Study", published in 2006, is quite recent in terms of major changes in scientific viewpoints. You can imagine the firestorm of controversy in the field of nutrition science the publication of his research caused, and Campbell continues to be a lightning rod for controversy. Recently however other researchers are finding support for his conclusions in a variety of ways, and it seems the number of studies showing this link are increasing quite rapidly.
For now I'm going to keep it simple by only posting a link to a recent Campbell Ted Talk, probably the best overview of his work and perspective. It's less than 20 minutes, you may find it interesting.
