“Increasing evidence shows that many chronic diseases are preventable, and diet plays a very important role in disease prevention and treatment,” Sang told the newspaper. “My lab’s over-arching goal is to develop safe dietary regimens to prevent and/or treat the development of chronic illness without incurring the harmful side effects that occur with the use of so many of today’s pharmaceuticals.
“Studies show that the general public prefers dietary regimens, instead of drugs, for preventing or treating chronic diseases.”
