Professor Chris Gardner: Omnivore's Dilemma

Christopher Gardner is the director of nutrition studies at the Stanford Prevention Research Center and professor of medicine. For the past 20 years his research has examined the potential health benefits of dietary components such as soy, garlic, antioxidants, ginkgo, omega-3 fats, vegetarian diets, and weight loss diets in the general population. Recently his nutrition interests have expanded into exploring motivators other than health for making positive dietary changes, linking to ongoing social movements around animal welfare, climate change, social justice, and their relationships to food – stealth health. Additionally, he’s shifting some of his research focus to a food systems approach that addresses the quality of food provided by schools, hospitals, worksites, food banks and other institutional food settings.
