job

In 1993 Greger was one of the first experts to point out the possible transferability of BSE to humans. At that time, Greger was working at the Cornell University School of Agriculture.

He was then hired by the New York State Farm Sanctuary to do further research on BSE. In the course of this, he visited a slaughterhouse in Pennsylvania and decided to go vegan from now on.

Greger later graduated from Tufts University School of Medicine with a specialization in nutrition. In 2004 he founded AtkinsExposed.org. On this he criticized the meat-heavy and low-carbohydrate Atkins diet with the help of scientific studies and expert opinions as an unhealthy trend diet.

He became known in particular through the non-commercial website NutritionFacts.org and numerous public lectures and interviews. His book How Not To Die: Discover the Foods Scientifically Proven to Prevent and Reverse Disease (2015) has been on the New York Times best seller list several times . Greger would like to bring a plant-based, wholesome diet closer to a broad audience with the help of scientific research.

Greger donates all income from speaking and selling his books to charity.
