Ok so the first thing you notice about Denise Minger is how young she looks, OK is. How could she have had time to study in depth the huge subject she’s’ taken on? Than she starts to speak and if her infectious giggle doesn’t endear you to her, the sense she talks will. Denise is self taught, and self motivated by personal health issues. Her reanalysis of the data put forward by the now highly touted book, ”The China Study”, sparked a public debate with its author T. Colin Campbell. She is a Portland based food blogger. Her lecture at the 2012 Myth busters Conference, shares her insight .into what the data really says. Infotainment with a lively Q&A after that sheds even more light on how to twist these studies.

Denise Minger is a Portland-based writer, teacher, and nutrition blogger currently working on her first book, “Death by Food Pyramid.” Her website, RawFoodSOS.com, aims to dispel nutrition myths and reexamine conventional beliefs about food. In 2010, Minger’s reanalysis of China Study data received widespread publicity in the health community and sparked a public debate with T. Colin Campbell, author of “The China Study.”

The China Study: Fact or Fallacy? The China Study is often cited as “proof” of the harmfulness of animal products and the superiority of a vegan diet. Yet despite boasting the title “Grand Prix of epidemiology,” this large-scale study has been widely misinterpreted and distorted. This lecture examines what the original China Study data really says about diet patterns and health, and also explores the real reasons vegetarian and vegan diets appear beneficial in population studies.
