Dr. Greger has scoured the world's scholarly literature on clinical nutrition and developed this new 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.

PBDE fire-retardant chemicals in the food supply may contribute to attention and cognitive deficits in children.
Peppermint essential oil should be considered the first-line treatment for IBS.
