New York Times Bestseller What happens when you eat an apple? The answer is vastly more complex than you imagine.
Whole is an eye-opening, paradigm-changing journey through cutting-edge thinking on nutrition, a scientific tour de force with powerful implications for our health and for our world..
Now, in Whole, he explains the science behind that evidence, the ways our current scientific paradigm ignores the fascinating complexity of the human body, and why, if we have such overwhelming evidence that everything we think we know about nutrition is wrong, our eating habits haven't changed.
Campbell) revolutionized the way we think about our food with the evidence that a Whole food, plant-based diet is the healthiest way to eat.

These sorts of studies are helpful to food companies trying to prove there is a chemical in milk or pre-packaged dinners that is "good" for us, but they provide little insight into the complexity of what actually happens in our bodies or how those chemicals contribute to our health.
The traditional "gold standard" of nutrition research has been to study one chemical at a time in an attempt to determine its particular impact on the human body.
Nutritional science, long stuck in a reductionist mindset, is at the cusp of a revolution.
And that's just from an apple.
Because almost every chemical can affect every other chemical, there is an almost infinite number of possible biological consequences.
But calculating the specific influence of each of these chemicals isn't nearly sufficient to explain the effect of the apple as a whole.
They impact thousands upon thousands of metabolic reactions inside the human body.
Every apple contains thousands of antioxidants whose names, beyond a few like vitamin C, are unfamiliar to us, and each of these powerful chemicals has the potential to play an important role in supporting our health.
