In fact, some of the most commonly held beliefs about a healthy diet have little or no research to support them.  Dr. Link will review the evidence for some of these myths, including the need for dairy as a source of calcium, and the differences between raw and cooked foods.

Lilli Link, MD, MS, is a board certified internist, has a Masters of Science degree in Epidemiology and Health Services Research and completed a fellowship in Cancer Epidemiology.
