Dr. Greger has scoured the world’s scholarly literature on clinical nutrition and developed this presentation based on the latest in cutting edge research exploring the role diet may play in preventing, arresting, and even reversing some of our most feared causes of death and disability.
Doctor’s Note
I’m honored to bring you Food as Medicine, my annual talks on foods for dreaded diseases from back in 2015, which is still relevant today.
Every year I scour the world’s scholarly literature on clinical nutrition, pulling together what I find to be the most interesting, practical, and groundbreaking science on how to best feed ourselves and our families. I start with the thousands of papers published annually on nutrition and, thanks to a crack team of volunteers (and staff!), I’m able to whittle those. They are then downloaded, categorized, read, analyzed, and churned into the few hundred short videos. This allows me to post videos and articles every day, year-round, to NutritionFacts.org. This certainly makes the site unique. There’s no other science-based source for free daily updates on the latest discoveries in evidence-based nutrition.
