ForwardThe Pegan Diet: Science or Science Fiction?
In his 2021 book, The Pegan Diet: 21 Practical Principles for Reclaiming Your Health in a Nutritionally Confusing World, author Mark Hyman, MD, introduces the pegan diet concept. It’s based on the paleolithic (paleo) and vegan diets, both of which he describes as low in starch, sugar, processed foods, additives, hormones, antibiotics, and GMOs. This course will explore the science behind the pegan diet principles.
Course content appeared as the CPE Monthly in the November/December 2023 edition of Today's Dietitian.
