As president of both PCRM and The Cancer Project, Dr. Barnard directs numerous innovative programs to promote healthy eating. Research has shown that people following vegetarian diets are up to 40 percent less likely to develop cancer than meat-eaters, and Dr. Barnard works to educate the public on how a plant-based diet can play a key role in cancer prevention and survival. He has also conducted numerous studies of the ability of nutritional interventions to treat high cholesterol levels, hormone imbalances, diabetes, and other conditions, and has published groundbreaking findings in journals such as The American Journal of Cardiology, Obstetrics & Gynecology, and Preventive Medicine. One recent study, for example, shows how a low-fat vegan diet helps diabetes patients reduce and even eliminate their need for medication.
Dr. Barnard has been instrumental in reforming federal dietary guidelines. In his published reports, he has shown how meat-based diets not only cause health problems, but also are responsible for up to $60 billion every year in health care costs.
Dr. Barnard’s interest in healthy eating evolved over many years. His family includes both doctors and cattle ranchers—two groups that often butt heads over health issues. Before going to medical school, Dr. Barnard worked as an autopsy assistant, where he observed heart disease and other deadly effects of a bad diet firsthand.
Dr. Barnard is the author of seven books, including Breaking the Food Seduction, Food for Life, and Eat Right, Live Longer. He is also the editor-in-chief of Good Medicine and the author of hundreds of articles in magazines such as Scientific American and newspapers such as The New York Times. A regular guest on network talk and news shows and a busy public speaker, Dr. Barnard lives in Washington, D.C.
Dr. Barnard is also an adjunct associate professor of medicine at George Washington University.
