The science of nutrition, among the professionals and public alike, worldwide is not respected as it should be. Medical practitioners are seldom, if ever, taught nutrition during their training and, in many instances, they do not receive adequate compensation for their services. The public has a widespread interest in nutrition, but are confronted with too much controversy and confusion.

無論是對專業人士還是百姓大眾來說，營養科學都沒有得到本來應有的尊重。大多數醫務人員在其職業培訓期間極少涉獵過營養醫學。許多情形下，即使能提供相關服務，他們也無法得到充分報償。大眾對營養的興趣廣泛，但卻迷失在過多的爭論和困惑中。

In spite of this confusion and ignorance, however, we now have compelling scientific evidence that a proper understanding of nutrition can both prevent and treat (i. e., cure) many serious diseases and ailments. Heart disease, even its advanced stages, can be cured by food alone. A whole food, plant-based (WFPB) diet, practiced as a lifestyle—has a remarkable ability to resolve a broad array of diseases and ailments and to do so remarkably quickly. A composite of the most commonly used pills and procedures of contemporary "Western" medicine cannot compete with the ability of the right kind of food to maintain and restore human health.

盡管存在困惑和無知，我們現在還是有了令人信服的科學證據，即充分認識并重視營養可以預防和治療許多不適甚至重疾。即使在心臟病的晚期，也可能通過食物來治愈。全蔬食（WFPB）作為一種生活方式，具有非凡的能力來處理一系列不適和疾病，且效果立竿見影。在維持和恢復人體健康上，現代西醫中最常用的藥物和療程組合在一起，也無法和正確飲食背后的治愈能力相提并論。

If this information were made available and properly used, evidence shows that at least two-thirds of health care costs could be spared (at least for those populations using the Western diet), that environmental catastrophes could be substantially averted, and that violence against humans and other sentient beings would be greatly reduced.

如果這些信息能夠被接受并恰當使用，證據表明，醫療費用可以減少2/3以上（至少對深受西方飲食習慣影響的人群而言是這樣）。同時，減輕對環境的破壞，而且對人類和其他生靈的暴力也將大大減少。

This book, How Not To Die by Dr. Michael Greger is unusually informative as to what are the scientific facts that support the use of a whole food, plant based diet. I have had an unusually productive career with many medical colleagues in China since 1981 and have always been convinced that the Chinese people, because of their amazing history in the health and medical sciences, are in an excellent position to adopt this dietary lifestyle and to show the world what is possible. The information in this book is high quality and can save your life.

邁克爾·格雷格醫生撰寫的《救命！逆轉和預防致命疾病的科學飲食》這本書，信息量巨大，從科學數據的角度支持推廣全蔬食。自1981年以來，許多中國醫療的同事見證了我不尋常高產的職業生涯。由于中國在健康和醫學上令人難以置信的歷史，在接受該飲食方式，并向世界展示其成果方面，中國人具有巨大優勢，對此，我心悅誠服。本書非常有價值，是你的救命書。
