Whenever there is a new drug or surgical procedure, you can be assured that you or your doctor will probably hear about it because theres a corporate budget driving its promotion. But what about advances in the field of nutrition? The reason we dont see ads on TV for broccoli is the same reason groundbreaking research on the power of foods and eati... ng patterns to affect our health and longevity gets lost and buried in the medical literaturetheres no profit motive. It may not make anyone money, but what if our lives would profit? Did you know there are diets proven to not only prevent and treat but reverse our #1 killer, heart disease, along with other deadly diseases such as type 2 diabetes and high blood pressure? Yet doctors get little if any formal nutrition training in medical school, graduating without some of the most powerful tools available to stop the chronic diseases that remain our leading causes of death and disability. We believe that a significant part of the problem is that individuals who want to make the correct dietary choices for themselves and their families are faced with a deluge of confusing and conflicting nutritional advice. The goal of this website is to present you and your doctor with the results of the latest in peer-reviewed nutrition and health research, presented in a way that is easy to understand.
