A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

David Lightsey is a Food and Nutrition Science Advisor to Quackwatch.org. He has been combating health misinformation in the health marketplace for 31 years, with the non-profit consumer advocacy organization, National Council Against Health Fraud until 2011, as well as with Quackwatch.org (www.quackwatch.org). He has appeared on NBC Dateline (Hype In A Bottle--1996), regarding the deceptive marketing methods used by the sport supplement industry to exploit and fleece athletes, as well as CBS Evening News (2003), regarding the designer steroid issue. The peer review of his first book, Muscles Speed and Lies--What the Sport Supplement Industry Does Not Want Athletes or Consumers to Know, from the American College of Sports Medicine, stated "this book is essential reading for the interested athlete or coach. Particularly, it should be required reading for those studying in the field of clinical sports science (undergraduates, graduate students), allied health professionals (ATCs, personal trainers, and dietitians), and primary care sports medicine physicians." The International Olympic Committee chose this book to be included in "the most important bibliography of the holdings of the IOC Medical Commission Collection of Sports Medicine for reference texts and scientific journals published until 2010." Other examples of where his consumer education work has appeared include peer review journals such as the British Journal of Cancer, Lancet, American Journal of Emergency Medicine, National Strength and Conditioning Association Journal, and PLOS One, as well as many national media outlets.
