In my (Dr. McDougall's) opinion, Dr. Dean Ornish stands out as the most important physician/scientist* of the past quarter century for his contributions to medicine through proper human nutrition, and especially for his work on the epidemic diseases of obesity, heart disease, prostate cancer, and type-2 diabetes.
Dr. Ornish is distinguished because of his hard work, intelligence, and unwillingness to compromise the truth about proper patient care. His scientific research using the gold standard, randomized controlled trial method has achieved many publications in the top medical journals.
