"Dariush Mozaffarian"

KEY Message. Dariush Mozaffarian, is probably the foremost authority in the mainstream of academic thinking about human nutrition.

Dr. Mozaffarian addresses the fact that we face a national nutrition crisis. The food we eat is the leading cause of poor health, and preventable healthcare spending in the United States, and a major driver of health disparities. It’s time for a coordinated strategy to reshape the way we incentivise, support, and drive innovation in our food system to leverage the full power of nutrition to improve health, advance equity, and reduce healthcare spending. Dariush Mozaffarian is a cardiologist, Dean, and Jean Mayer Professor at the Tufts Friedman School of Nutrition Science and Policy, and Professor of Medicine at Tufts School of Medicine

Fifteen years ago Prof. Walter Willet at Harvard was the most respected voice in nutrition.

Today, if you want to know who the leading reserchers are, the Swiss-Re Insurance group made two attempts to get all the best people in the same room. "Food for thought: The science and politics of nutrition" (2018), and "Food for thought: The science and politics of nutrition" (2020) gathered all the best brains available. You make up your own mind, but in my mind, Dariush Mozaffarian stands head and shoulders above others, if you want a mainstream view of nutrition.
