Dr. Artemis P. Simopoulos: Traditional Diets, Omega 3 & 6 Fatty Acid Balance, and Nutrigenomics
Dr. Artemis P. Simopoulos is responsible for some of the most innovative and unique research on evolutionary aspects of diet and essential fatty acids, including historical changes in the omega-3/ omega-6 ratio and its influence on our physiology and disease risk. She has also been a pioneer in a wide variety of diverse but related topics, such as novel sources of omega 3, phytochemicals, and nutrigenomics. This remarkable interview explores her discoveries, debunks nutritional dogma, and paves a way for ‘healthy agriculture, healthy nutrition, and healthy people.’ Further reading: Simopoulos AP.
