My new nutrition DVDs

I'm new to this list so wanted to introduce myself. I'm a founding
member of the American College of Lifestyle Medicine and was
privileged to teach part of Emeritus Professor T. Colin Campbell's
nutrition course at Cornell. I've published books on nutrition (one
now available full-text at no cost at atkinsfacts.org) and have
published in the peer-reviewed literature (in fact two new nutrition
articles published this month--free PDFs at drgreger.org/
writings.html). In the spirit of open access everything I publish is
placed online and all the proceeds I receive from the sales of my
books, DVDs, and speaking engagements are all donated to charity.

I've just produced two new DVDs I thought folks might be interested
in. This is what I sent to my email newsletter this morning if anyone
is interested (email drgregersnewsletter-subscribe@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx to

As many of you know, every year I review the world’s scientific nutrition
literature for the most groundbreaking developments and compile the most
important findings into my annual “Latest in Nutrition” talk. My schedule
is so tight these days, though, that I’m only able to squeeze in a few dozen
talks each year, so I'm excited to announce I’ve started making my annual
nutrition updates into DVDs!

So far I’ve recorded the two most recent years—2007 and 2008—of my
“Latest in Nutrition” talk, and the 90-minute DVDs are now available at:

As always, all the proceeds I receive from the sales of books, DVDs, and
speaking engagements go to charity.

If you haven't been able to attend any of my recent presentation, here's your
chance to catch up on everything you missed, and if I was lucky enough to catch
you, here's your chance to share this critical, life-saving information with
your friends, family, and community--and I've packed bonus,
never-before-presented research findings into each one, so there's something
new for everyone!

You can expect my “Latest in Nutrition” 2009 DVD to be released this
summer.

What about all my old nutrition DVDs, though? Sadly, they are all sold out--I
guess they're collectors' items now! :). But some folks have been kind enough
to upload one of my first DVDs to the internet. My “Maximum Nutrition” DVD
is now available for download free of charge at http://tinyurl.com/MaxNutrition
. Since it's a torrent file, you'll need BitTorrent software, but that's
available free at places like http://www.utorrent.com/download.php .

I’m going to continue to try to fit in as many live appearances as my
schedule permits. See http://www.drgreger.org/dates.html for the dates I've so
far confirmed this year. I hope I'll be able to catch you in person this year,
but if not, at least you can now catch me on your TV!

PS: I had another two articles published in the peer-reviewed scientific
literature this month. If you’re interested, they’re available free,
full-text at http://www.DrGreger.org/writings.html

PPS: Next month keep an eye out for me on the Colbert Report!
