In general, my research interest is in how diet can be used to improve health and body weight. I currently have a grant that compares the diet recommended by the National Cancer Institute to a plant-based olive oil diet that I have put together based upon foods that the literature suggests will improve health. I am studying women diagnosed wtih invasive breast cancer after the age of 50.
