【The china study:中國研究】蛋白質與癌症的關係
The China Study英文版原書名，中文版卻譯成《救命飲食》 ，有人說是作者 坎貝爾教授宅心仁厚，飲水思源的寓意所致。個人卻比較喜歡逐字翻譯 【The china study:中國研究】這是一本針對飲食與癌症的研究。作者集結他多年的研究結果，比較不同國家的飲食習慣，疾病癌症與飲食的關聯。 書中不經意的段落，藏有撼動人心的啟發，以下是書中的一小段研究引言:
In 1967, based on his work at MIT, he was asked to be the Campus Coordinator for a research project in the Philippines. This study would eventually span ten years, and the results of which would change the way he looked at protein for the rest of his career. There were two major health issues in the children around Manila and Cebu, the first alarming concern was malnutrition, the second was a massive rise is liver cancer among very young children- some as young as four years old! While looking into peanuts as a possible solution to the malnutrition problem, he found that local peanut growers were sorting out the good peanuts for “cocktail” nuts, and the moldy peanuts were being made into peanut butter. Local children, especially in Manila, were eating the peanut butter and being exposed to high levels of aflatoxin. Then, while looking into the liver cancer issue, he found that the children under ten years old who had been diagnosed with cancer were not from the malnourished families, but rather they were from the best-fed families, whose diets most closely resembled a standard diet here in the U.S. This went directly against what he had previously believed, that liver cancer was caused by inadequate protein intake.
While his research was going on in the Philippines, he was made aware of a study that had been done in India with aflatoxin and its correlation to liver cancer. There were two groups of rats that were each fed equal amounts of aflatoxin, then one group was fed a diet containing 20% protein, while the other group was fed a diet of 5% protein. By the end of the test, every single rat in the 20% group had liver cancer or its pre-cursor lesions. Shockingly, none of the rats eating the 5% protein diet had developed liver cancer! “It was not a trivial difference; it was 100% versus 0%,” he says in the book. It was a major turning point for his career, and he decided he must pursue the true connection between protein and cancer to whatever end it might lead him, even though he knew he would be going against a well established status quo.
文意大致如下:
在1967年時，作者在麻省理工學院工作期間，他接受了一項菲律賓的校園研究工作。這個研究項目歷經10年，而研究調查的成果也衝擊了作者日後對於飲食、蛋白質攝取的視角、觀感。
在馬尼拉和宿霧周圍的孩子中有兩個主要的健康問題，第一個令人擔憂的問題是營養不良，第二個是非常年幼的兒童中的肝癌的大量增加 - 一些年齡為4歲！針對營養不良的問題，研究小組鎖定花生為解決方案，但是調查發現當地花生種植者正在整理“雞尾酒”堅果的好花生，發霉的花生則被製成花生醬。於是乎吃著花生醬的當地兒童們，正式暴露於黃曲霉毒素的高度汙染飲食中。然後，在後續研究肝癌問題時，他發現被診斷患有癌症的10歲以下的兒童，並不是來自營養不良的家庭，而是來自環境富渥的家庭。這些家庭環境較優的孩子們，他們的飲食是最接近於標準飲食。研究調查至此，已經推翻了過往人們認為肝癌是因為蛋白質攝取不足造成的舊有印象。
就在作者身在菲律賓研究的同時，另一樣在印度進行的”黃曲霉毒素與肝癌的相關性研究實驗也引起了作者的關注。實驗室將兩組老鼠各自餵養等量的黃曲霉毒素，然後一組餵食含有20％蛋白質的飲食，而另一組餵食5％蛋白質的飲食。在試驗結束時，20％組中的每隻老鼠都發現了肝癌或是前期病癥。令人震驚的是，沒有一隻吃5％蛋白質飲食的老鼠有肝癌的徵兆！ “這樣的發現促使了作者投入了蛋白質和癌症的發病關係研究，終其一生....
