We believe that a significant part of the problem is that individuals who want to make the best dietary choices for themselves and their families are faced with a deluge of confusing and conflicting nutritional advice. Despite this, doctors get little, if any, formal nutrition training in medical school and often graduate without some of the most powerful tools available to stop the chronic diseases that remain our leading causes of death and disability. Researchers have found a way of eating that may prevent, treat, and even reverse the progression of many of our deadliest diseases, including our number one killer, heart disease, as well as type 2 diabetes and high blood pressure. Healthful eating and nutrition research may not make anyone money, but what if our lives would profit? Put very simply: There is no profit-driven motive. Corporate budgets drive their promotion and marketing campaigns, but what about advances in the field of nutrition? We don’t see ads on TV for broccoli for the same reason groundbreaking research on the power of foods and eating patterns to affect our health and longevity gets lost and buried in the medical literature. Each new drug or surgical procedure is often heralded with great fanfare, letting you and your doctor know about the ways it is a game-changer or a life-saver.
