Report on the American College of Lifestyle Medicine (ACLM) Meeting
May 23 to 26, 2006

Imagine a group of physicians’ forming a professional organization to support the practices of diet, exercise and clean habits, rather than medications and surgery, for the treatment of diseases. That group just had its 3^rd annual meeting in Southern California (Ontario) and it ended with all attendees full of optimism. Medical doctors and research scientists from as far away as France came to share their knowledge during this 4-day symposium. This professional meeting was unique in that there were no sponsors from industry. DVD available.

This is a huge turnaround for a substance that has traditionally been thought of as an artery-clogging saturated fat.
