Dr. Barnard has led numerous research studies investigating the effects of diet on diabetes, body weight, hormonal symptoms, and chronic pain, including a groundbreaking study of dietary interventions in type 2 diabetes, funded by the National Institute of Health, that paved the way for viewing type 2 diabetes as a potentially reversible condition for many patients. His latest book is  The Power Foods Diet, the Breakthrough Plan that Traps, Tames, and Burns Calories for Easy and Permanent Weight Loss.
