Greger went to college at Cornell University Schoolhouse of Agronomics, where as a junior he wrote informally about the dangers of bovine spongiform encephalopathy, commonly known as mad moo-cow affliction, on a website he published in 1994.[2] [four] [5] In the aforementioned yr, he was hired to work on mad cow issues for Subcontract Sanctuary, near Cornell, and became a vegan after touring a stockyard as part of his work with Farm Sanctuary.[two] In 1998, he appeared equally an expert witness testifying nigh bovine spongiform encephalopathy when cattle producers unsuccessfully sued Oprah Winfrey for libel over statements she had made about the safety of meat in 1996.[2] [6]

In his lectures, videos, and writings well-nigh nutrition, Greger tries to persuade people to change their eating habits from a Western pattern diet to a whole-nutrient, institute-based diet, which he says can prevent and reverse many chronic diseases.[20] [21] : 10 He is disquisitional of some other doctors for not encouraging their patients to adopt plant-based diets and to avoid brute-based products[21] : i–12 and has criticized the USDA, stating that "a disharmonize of interest correct in their mission statement" protects the economical interests of food producers in lieu of clear dietary guidelines.[22]

Reception

Greger'south third book, Bird Flu: A Virus of Our Ain Hatching, received a favorable review which said information technology was "interesting and informative to both scientists and lay persons",[23] but public health proficient David Sencer was critical of the book, writing that it "focuses heavily on doomsday scenarios and offers little in terms of practical communication to the public" and that "a professional audience would quickly put [the book] aside for more factually correct sources of information".[24]

Harriet A.
