Currently, Willett is the Fredrick John Stare Professor of Epidemiology and Nutrition and the chair of the department of nutrition at Harvard School of Public Health.

He has published more than 1,000 scientific articles regarding various aspects of diet and disease and is the second most cited author in clinical medicine. Frequently in the public eye, Willett is perhaps best known for his 2001 book ''Eat, Drink, and Be Healthy'', which presents nutritional information and recommendations based on what was then the consensus of nutrition scientists. His book is critical of many popular misconceptions about diet and nutrition, including ideas presented by guidelines from American organizations such as the USDA.〔(HPH NOW, August 24, 2001, Nutrition Book Author Willett Rebuilds USDA Food Pyramid ) 〕 Willett is frequently quoted by the media in articles regarding nutrition.〔(A reversal on carbs ), Marni Jameson, Los Angeles Times, December 20, 2010.〕〔(Taking Diet Soda Study with a Grain of Salt ), ABC News, February 8, 2011.〕〔(Interview: Walter Willett, M.D. ), PBS Frontline, April 8, 2004.〕〔(The truth on foods and fats ), Amanda Spake, U.S. News & World Report, July 4, 2004.〕 ==Education== * B.S. 1966, Michigan State University * M.D. 1970, University of Michigan Medical School * M.P.H. 1973, Harvard School of Public Health * Dr.P.H. 1980, Harvard School of Public Health, Epidemiology * Chair, 1991, Department of Nutrition, Harvard School of Public Health 〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Walter Willett」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
