See Price-Pottenger Nutritional Foundation Health Journal Vol 21, No 3,
Page 2, Mary Enig's and Sally Fallon article on China. In it they discuss
the Colin Campbell studies at some length. Basically the whole study is a
joke--very poorly designed and hard to draw any conclusions from it, and
certainly not the conclusions that Campbell claims for it.

You can get the article by calling PPNF at (619) 574-7763.
