Food in China-Variety and Monotony:

"In the 1980s, a group of researchers from Cornell University carried out a
massive dietary survey, covering all 25 of China's farflung provinces, in an
effort to determine food consumption and disease patterns. This study is
often cited as proof that plant-based diets are healthier than those based
on animal foods like meat and milk. Study director T. Colin Campbell claims
that the Cornell findings suggest "that a diet high in animal products
produces disease, and a diet high in grains, vegetables and other plant
matter produces health."12 But the Cornell survey data, when carefully
studied, does not support such claims.13
What the Cornell researchers discovered was that meat intake in China was
highest in the western border region and very low in a number of
impoverished areas centering on Sian. They found that meat eaters had lower
triglycerides and less cirrhosis of the liver-and that they took more
snuff-but otherwise they found no strong correlation, either negative or
positive, with meat eating and any disease."

The Okinowan diet sounds much more interesting (towards the bottom of the
link).
