T. Colin Campbell, PhD, has been dedicated to the science of human health for more than 60 years. His primary focus is on the association between diet and disease, particularly cancer. Known for the China Study-one of the most comprehensive studies of health and nutrition ever conducted, and recognized by the New York Times as the "grand prix of human epidemiology"-Dr. Campbell's profound impact also extends to education, public policy, and laboratory research. Dr. Campbell is the Jacob Gould Schurman Professor Emeritus of Nutritional Biochemistry at Cornell University. He has received more than 70 grant years of peer-reviewed research funding and authored more than 350 research papers. The China Study was the culmination of a 20-year partnership of Cornell University, Oxford University, and the Chinese Academy of Preventive Medicine
On the heels of writing and directing the 2015 documentary film PlantPure Nation, Nelson Campbell founded the nonprofit PlantPure Communities (PPC) in early 2016. Released in theaters in over one-hundred cities, the PlantPure Nation film (now on Amazon Prime and Apple TV) highlights the dramatic healing power of a plant-based diet and examines the political and economic factors that have suppressed information about these healing benefits, while making connections to public policy, medical practice, food deserts, and farming. In addition to his work in the nonprofit sector, Nelson founded the PlantPure foods and education business. PlantPure has been working on a strategy in western North Carolina to partner with local communities to share the healing benefits of plant-based nutrition. This strategy also includes a commitment to waive 100 percent of its profit margin on sales of certain of its products in under-resourced communities.
Most recently, Nelson has launched a Substack publication at NelsonCampbell.com, where he writes about many of the same issues shares in The Whole Truth. Finally, Nelson has also had extensive experience in public speaking, mostly focused on issues surrounding plant-based nutrition, but also touching on public policy, economics, and social concerns. Prior to his involvement with PlantPure Nation, Nelson worked for twenty-five years as a business entrepreneur. He graduated from Cornell University with a bachelor's degree in Political Science and a master's degree in Economics.
