Michael F. Jacobson; Ph.D

Michael F. Jacobson, Ph.D., is co-founder and executive director of the Center for Science in the Public Interest (CSPI). Jacobson has written numerous books and reports, including Nutrition Scoreboard.

  Packing a reasonably nutritious school lunch — a peanut butter and jelly sandwich on whole wheat bread, say, plus a sliced orange and a carton of milk (lowfat with an ice pack) — doesn't have to take a lot of time. But Americans love saving time almost as much [...]

Ann Louise Gittleman PhD CNS

Visionary health expert Ann Louise Gittleman has always been a trendsetter. Highly respected as the grande dame of alternative health and award-winning author of 30 books, she single-handedly launched the weight loss/detox revolution.
