Dr Greger - Nutritionfacts.org is overseen by Dr Greger who I love. He is a WEALTH of knowledge and doing so much good in the world., Can not say enough about him We worked on a plant based TV show with him and he's the real deal!!! On the site he reviews research pertaining to nutrition/diet and health and presents it in a short video format. He also does a keynote once a year which I suggest every living being watch more than once. His Book How Not To Die is a best seller and one every human should read. Dr T Colin Campbell - Dr. Campbell has spent the better part of four decades researching dietary habits, nutrition, and disease. He wrote the books The China Study and Whole which should be read by anyone who eats food. He speaks out a lot as an activist and has worked on the government side coming up with nutritional guidelines. He early on realized that the meat and dairy industries are so deeply involved with the government, that making policy change regarding dietary guidelines is nearly impossible. He is a force in the field of nutrition and at 80 years old is still out there educating and preaching the wholegospel. Early in his research career, when he was working on how to cure the hunger epidemic in the Philippines, he found a link between protein consumption and cancer. He followed that with lots of research that to his surprise backed up what he had found. The best of his life is been devoted to nutrition research and education at the Cornell center for nutritional studies. He offers a plant-based nutrition certificate program which I completed and it was a fantastic learning experience. I have had the pleasure of getting to know Dr Campbell over the past year and he and his wife are 2 of the most amazing people I have ever met. His zeal for teaching about his study finding is amazing. He has more energy than most people 1/2 his age and travels the globe teaching people about plant based nutrition.
