"Vegetarian and Vegan Nutrition  --   Staying
Healthy:  Surprising New Research on 
Omega 3s and B12"

with speaker Michael Greger, M.D.

Are vegans and vegetarians as healthy as 
they can and should be?  Surprising new research 
on vegetarian and vegan nutrition has highlighted 
the importance of Omega 3 fatty acids and 
Vitamin B12 in the diet.  Michael Greger, M.D.
will review the latest research and share his
recommendations for optimal vegetarian health.

Dr. Greger is a graduate of Cornell University's 
College of Agriculture and of Tufts University 
School of Medicine.  He foretold the Mad Cow
Disease disaster years before it struck, and was 
called as an expert witness in the infamous Oprah 
Winfrey "meat defamation" trial.
