How does Dr. Greger come up with his videos?
If you go to pubmed.gov, where you can access the database of the National Library of Medicine—the largest medical library in the world—you can search for topics like diet or nutrition, you’ll see that there’s about 100,000 papers published every year in the field of nutrition in the scientific medical literature. Ideally, we do a comprehensive search of available literature to place any particular paper in context—while also going backwards and forwards in time, checking all the sources they cite, and all the sources that cited them.

Subscribe to Dr. Greger’s free nutrition newsletter at http://www.nutritionfacts.org/subscribe and get a free recipe from his HOW NOT TO DIE COOKBOOK. (All proceeds Dr. Greger receives from the sales of his books, DVDs, and speaking engagements go to support the 501c3 nonprofit that runs NutritionFacts.org.)

This video is part of an experiment to find ways to appeal to those new to the site. So much of what I do is targeted towards those who already know the basics, but in the user survey about a thousand of you filled out a few weeks ago, many of you asked for me to take a step back and do some videos targeted more towards those new to evidence-based nutrition.

So with the volunteer help of videographer Grant Peacock (http://www.gpi.tv/) I came up with ten introduction and overview-type videos for both new users to orient themselves, and for long-time users to use to introduce people to the site.

The first four are already up:
• The Story of NutritionFacts.org (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/the-story-of-nutritionfacts-org/)
• Why You Should Care About Nutrition (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/why-you-should-care-about-nutrition)
• Taking Personal Responsibility for Your Health (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/taking-personal-responsibility-for-your-health)
• The Philosophy of NutritionFacts.org (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/the-philosophy-of-nutritionfacts-org)

Stay tuned for:
• How Not to Die from Heart Disease (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/how-not-to-die-from-heart-disease/)
• How Not to Die from Cancer (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/how-not-to-die-from-cancer/)
