Neal D. Barnard, M.D.
Neal Barnard is the founder and president of the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine (PCRM), a nonprofit organization of doctors and laypersons that promotes preventive medicine, especially good nutrition, and addresses controversies in medicine, including ethical issues in research. He is also an adjunct professor of medicine at George Washington University as well as the president of The Cancer Project, a PCRM subsidiary that advances cancer prevention and survival through nutrition education and research.
Dr. Barnard is one of America’s leading advocates for good nutrition. A pioneering clinical researcher, Dr. Barnard has conducted various studies on the effect of nutritional interventions on plasma lipids, hormone imbalances, diabetes, and other conditions. His groundbreaking findings have appeared in numerous scientific journals such as the American Journal of Cardiology, Diabetes Care, Nutrition, Obstetrics and Gynecology, and Preventive Medicine. His most recent diabetes study, funded by the National Institutes of Health, showed that a low-fat vegan diet is three times more effective than a more conventional diabetes diet at improving blood sugar control.
Dr. Barnard is the author of more than a dozen books, including Dr. Neal Barnard’s Program for Reversing Diabetes, Food for Life, Breaking the Food Seduction, Foods that Fight Pain, and Eat Right, Live Longer. He is also the editor-in-chief of Good Medicine and the Nutrition Guide for Clinicians.
