INTERNATIONALLY RENOWN DOCTOR TO SPEAK
Saturday, 02.04.2012, 12:15am (GMT-6)

On Tuesday, Feb. 28 at 6 p.m., the Vegetarian Society of Utah will present “Latest in Clinical Nutrition Volume 7,” a DVD presentation by Michael Greger, M.D. The event will be held at the St. George Community Building, 245 N. 200 West.

A favorite speaker for whole food plant-based lifestyle with wit and humor, Dr. Greger’s scientific research reveals some surprising results. A few of the 52 topics that will be discussed are:

Preventing adulthood allergies
Avoiding a sugary grave
Glycotoxins
Blue mint mango madness
Ayuvedic medicine worse than lead paint?
Dragon's Blood
Plant-based Atkins diet
Vit. B12 recommendation change
Safest source of B12
Hearts shouldn't skip a beet

...and many more scientifically researched subjects.

 

Dr. Greger has scoured the world’s scholarly literature on clinical nutrition and developed this brand new talk on the latest in cutting-edge research, focusing on studies published in 2011 in peer-reviewed scientific nutrition journals.

A founding member of the American College of Lifestyle Medicine, Michael Greger, M.D., is a physician, author and internationally recognized speaker on nutrition, food safety and public health issues. He has lectured at the Conference on World Affairs, the International Bird Flu Summit, the National Institutes of Health, testified before Congress, and was invited as an expert witness in the defense of Oprah Winfrey in the infamous “meat defamation” trial. He is a graduate of Cornell University School of Agriculture and Tufts University School of Medicine. Currently, Dr. Greger serves as the Director of Public Health and Animal Agriculture at The Humane Society of the United States.
