Gerald Lemole, MD (moderator) with panelists: David Perlmutter, MD; Stephen Sinatra, MD, FACC, CNS; Michael Greger, MD; Colin Champ, MD
Format: Video of Slides

Which is the most healthful diet? This presently is as hotly debated topic as is religion or politics with the same certitude and factual data. Scientific papers advocating the benefits of one or another are numerous and confounding and often quoted by their proponents while dismissing articles of a negative outcome.

This session is a colloquium among noted experts in the field of nutrition who advocate the different diets. Dr. Michael Greger, a proponent for the vegan diet, Dr. David Perlmutter for the Modified Ketogenic diet and Dr. Stephen Sinatra advocating a Mediterranean/Asian diet.

This session is not in the format of a debate but as a discussion about the benefits of their preferred diet. We will investigate a series of opinions on certain foodstuffs, ranging from those which we can all agree on, like vegetables and the avoidance of trans fats and fast foods to the areas that are presently hotly debated like meats, fish, dairy products, oils and other foods.
