China-Cornell-Oxford Project

The China-Cornell-Oxford Project was a study conducted throughout the 1970s and 1980s in rural China, jointly funded by Cornell University, the University of Oxford, and the government of China.^[1] In 1991 The New York Times called it "the Grand Prix of epidemiology."^[2] The first two major studies were led by T. Colin Campbell, professor of nutritional biochemistry at Cornell, who summarized the results in his book The China Study (2005).

The study examined the diets, lifestyle and disease characteristics of populations of 65 rural Chinese counties, comparing the prevalence of disease characteristics, excluding causes of death such as accidents.^[3] The findings suggested that some diseases of affluence were caused by Westernization, especially the growing consumption of animal protein and dairy products, previously either unknown or uncommon in China.^[2]
