Proper nutrition is vital for maintaining good health and warding off illness. Nutrition can also play a pivotal role in healing illness of all kinds, including heart disease, diabetes and cancer - the three leading illnesses which cause deaths. It is thus shocking that our doctors - whom most people turn to for advice on diet and nutrition - receive little to no training on the subjects in medical schools.
If you "just asked your doctor" how many hours of training they received in medical school on diet and nutrition and they replied honestly, many of them would tell you "none at all." Most of the rest would say they received no more than a couple of hours training.
