Dr. Joel Fuhrman describes foods that can make a significant difference to longevity – ones with powerful anti-cancer compounds that boost the immune system and contribute to a nutritious, balanced diet which prevents disease more effectively than the pills that imitate properties already found in whole plant foods.
Dr. Fuhrman is president of the Nutritional Research Foundation and a New York Times Best Selling Author. His written works include Eat to Live, Super Immunity and The End of Dieting.
