“The China Study” has been awarded the prestigious “VeganOK Scientific Award 2012.”
The China Study is universally acknowledged as the most comprehensive epidemiological study ever conducted. Within the Vegan community, it is remarkably esteemed since it is a study carried out exclusively on human populations without involving animals in unnecessary experiments. The main architect of this research is Dr. T. Colin Campbell, who will start his European lecture tour in Vicenza on September 21, 2012. The presence of Dr. T. Colin Campbell in Italy is a unique event in terms of importance and scientific level. On December 21, Dr T. Colin Campbell will receive the prestigious “VeganOK Scientific Award 2012,” awarded to “The China Study” with the rationale: 
“To ‘The China Study.’ An epidemiological study on human populations that has demonstrated how a completely plant-based diet is the closest to human nutritional needs and remains a fundamental element for living a life in complete health. Dr. T. Colin Campbell accepts the award.” Dr T. Colin Campbell expressed satisfaction upon learning of the award, commenting, “Yes, the words ‘vegan’ and ‘vegetarian’ tend to have their own meanings for many people and I do not disagree with others having those opinions. Indeed, I mostly agree with much of their propositions. My own position is based on science, as you know, but over the years as I have become fascinated with what this idea means to people, I also learn from those with somewhat different positions. So, in short, I am pleased to support the ‘V’ movement as long as I can bring to this movement the scientific basis for it”
The “VeganOK Scientific Award 2012” will be presented to Dr. T. Colin Campbell by the President of the Italian Vegan Association, Renata Balducci, author of the Vegan recipe book series “Nobili Scorpacciate Vegan”, published by Quantic Publishing. She will also speak on the same stage as Dr Campbell and show the audience how to apply vegan and healthy cuisine guidelines in everyday life.
In addition to Vegan communicator Renata Balducci, other prestigious figures such as the athlete Dino Baggio, Prof. Franco Berrino of the Cancer Institute, Dr. Michele Riefoli, actor Paolo Kessisoglu, and journalist Sabrina Donadel will also speak on the same stage. A vegan buffet lunch will be arranged during the day. In the past, Dr. T. Colin Campbell had already stated in an interview with The New York Times: “We eat 100% plant-based, I mean my family, our five adult children, and five grandchildren. We all eat this way now. The closer we get to a plant-based diet, the healthier we become… If someone has been diagnosed with cancer or any heart disease, it would be wise to adopt a 100% plant-based diet… It’s not about a religious belief; it’s just that the closer we get to a 100% plant-based diet, the better off we are.”
