Robert Pritikin, the son of Nathan Pritikin (creator of the groundbreaking Pritikin Program), discusses diet as both the cause and the cure for many widespread diseases of modern times, primarily heart disease, diabetes, hypertension, and obesity. The Pritikin family introduced America to a low-fat, high-carbohydrate diet that not only supported health, but was also palatable and easy to follow. Nathan and Robert Pritikin will go down in history as people who have made more of a difference in the health of Americans than anyone else in this country, says Dr. McDougall.
