In the modern world of technological progress, high speeds and stress, in a world in which health and youth are replaced by silicone implants, and food is more and more like the product of a chemical experiment; in a world where not only dishes, but also things familiar to us become disposable, true feelings are lost ... in this strange world, we are less and less likely to remember the real, eternal. Once upon a time everything

Berdasarkan "The China study", penelitian kesehatan paling komprehensif yang pernah dilakukanÿ Pada awal 1970-an, Pemerintah China mengadakan survei kesehatan nasional yang melibatkan 650 ribu pekerja dan 880 juta penduduk. Survei ini menghasilkan Atlas Kanker yang menunjukkan kondisi kesehatan orang China yang sangat berbeda dengan masyarakat Barat.ÿ Atlas Kanker kemudian menjadi pijakan dimulainya penelitian paling komprehensif tentang pola makan, gaya hidup, dan penyakit. Penelitian tersebut dikenal dengan nama China Study. Selama lebih dari 20 tahun, penelitian dilakukan di China bersama-sama antara Universitas Cornell, Universitas Oxford, dan Chinese Academy of Preventive Medicine.ÿ China Study tak hanya mengungkap rahasia sehat dan panjang umur orang China, tetapi juga membuktikan bahwa nutrisi yang tepat dapat mengatasi berbagai penyakit kronis dan berbahaya, seperti penyakit jantung, diabetes, kanker, obesitas, dan berbagai penyakit autoimun lain.ÿ Dengan ribuan fakta mengejutkan yang dihasilkan, China Study pun menjungkirbalikkan teori kesehatan modern yang saat ini diyakini.

"El autor del bestseller ESTUDIO DE CHINA, analiza en este libro las investigaciones tradicionales sobre nutrición y apunta que la información que proveen estos estudios informan sobre los productos quimicos que contienen o no los alimentos, pero realmente proporcionan poca o ninguna información sobre la complejidad de lo que ocurre en nuestro cuerpo al ingerirlos. Campbell invita al lector a un viaje científico para ir mas alla de lo tradicional y descubrir como influyen estos alimentos en nuestra salud"--Amazon.

Malgrado il legame tra salute e alimentazione sia oggetto di ricerca negli istituti più avanzati del mondo, e nonostante i media non facciano che subissarci di informazioni in materia, oggi siamo più confusi che mai. Che influenza può avere il cibo sull''insorgere delle principali patologie? Quale tipo di nutrizione può essere definita "buona"? Che cosa possiamo fare a tavola per tutelare la nostra salute? Nel Futuro dell''alimentazione, il professor T. Colin Campbell - noto in tutto il pianeta quale autore del rivoluzionario The China Study, in cui prospettava i vantaggi della drastica riduzione o eliminazione delle proteine animali dalla dieta - analizza le origini del nostro rapporto con i diversi alimenti e scandaglia le "verità" in tema che ci vengono proposte da scienziati e mezzi di comunicazione. Lo scopo è andare poi a prefigurare gli scenari futuri: quali saranno le conseguenze sulla nostra salute individuale? Quanto a lungo il sistema attuale sarà sostenibile per la società? In queste pagine, Campbell svela come sia stata data troppa enfasi ai singoli nutrienti, distraendoci dal ruolo fondamentale dell''alimentazione integrale. Allo stesso tempo, l''illusione di poter avere proteine animali "di alta qualità" ci ha portato a sottovalutare i rischi connessi all''eccesso di colesterolo, all''assunzione di grassi saturi e al loro effetto cancerogeno. Ma qual è il motivo di tutta questa cattiva informazione? Sono stati anteposti gli interessi dei grandi produttori alla salute delle persone e della Terra. Con la sua sconvolgente analisi Il futuro dell''alimentazione offre un contributo fondamentale per il cambiamento culturale necessario per prevenire le malattie più diffuse. Un cambiamento che deve cominciare dalle nostre abitudini quotidiane e che può avere un benefico impatto anche sul pianeta.

We show analytically and empirically that the positive abnormal returns from Betting-Against-Beta (BAB) - a beta-neutral portfolio long in low beta stocks and short in high beta stocks - are consistent with market segmentation due to costly information acquisition, as in Merton (1987). Consistent with our predictions, expected returns and CAPM alphas from the BAB strategy are positive and vary (1) negatively in the cross-section with firm visibility, and (2) positively in the time-series with the portfolio''s shadow cost of information and beta spread. These results cannot be fully explained by alternate explanations such as funding illiquidity or preference for lottery-like stocks.

"Decades of research show that the majority of non-communicable, chronic health issues like diabetes, heart disease, obesity, cancer, pain, digestive issues, depression, and anxiety can be reversed through comprehensive Lifestyle Medicine and Health Coaching protocols."--Back cover.

We show theoretically that optimism can lead a risk-averse CEO to choose the first-best investment level that maximizes shareholder value. Optimism below (above) the interior optimum leads the CEO to underinvest (overinvest). Hence, if boards of directors act in the interests of shareholders, CEOs with relatively low or high optimism face a higher probability of forced turnover than moderately optimistic CEOs face. Using a large sample of turnovers, we find strong empirical support for this prediction. The results are consistent with the view that there is an interior optimum level of managerial optimism that maximizes firm value.

In contrast to prior equity market results, we document that corporate bonds issued by low profitability firms outperform bonds issued by highly profitable firms. This performance difference is primarily driven by low profitability, low credit rating firms. This profitability premium is consistent with compensation for default risk and can be explained by default risk factors that include speculative-grade bonds. The impact of profitability on equity returns depends on the relative importance of default risk and the risk of the firm''s investments when solvent, consistent with higher profitability signaling both lower future distress and riskier investments resulting in higher discount rates.

We study the effect of changes in CEO inside debt on equity and debt values during the period in which firms'' disclosure of inside debt increased. We predict optimal CEO relative debt-equity incentive ratios based on firm and CEO characteristics, and show that firms adjust their ratios towards the predicted optimums. Equity values rise for firms that adjust their ratios downward to their predicted optimums and for firms that adjust ratios upward toward their predicted optimums, which implies that some ratios were too low and others were too high. Debt values rise for firms that adjust their ratios upward and do not fall for those that adjust their ratios downward. Our predicted optimum explains changes in equity and debt values better than a simple and intuitive target where inside debt-equity ratios are set equal to firm debt-equity ratios. The results support an optimal contracting view of CEO inside debt and suggest important cross-sectional differences in firms'' optimal use of inside debt in compensation policies.
