Bethesda, M.D.—Nutritionists with the Physicians Committee
for Responsible Medicine (PCRM)

Why: October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month,
but many Americans don’t realize what an important role good
nutrition can play in helping to battle this disease. A growing
body of literature shows that a low-fat, plant-based diet may help
with prevention and aid in survival.
The Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine (PCRM) is
a nonprofit health organization that promotes preventive medicine,
especially good nutrition. Founded in 1985, PCRM also conducts clinical
research studies, opposes unethical human experimentation, and promotes
alternatives to animal research. The Cancer Project is a nonprofit
organization that advances new approaches to cancer prevention and
survival through nutrition education and research. Begun in 1991
as a program of PCRM, The Cancer Project became an independent,
separately incorporated affiliate of PCRM in 2004. The Council on
Humane Giving, a coalition of doctors and animal protection organizations
administered by PCRM, certifies those health charities that fund
vital services or life-saving medical research, but never animal
experiments.
