Gary Fettke: Diet, Chronic Disease & Public Health

Dr Gary Fettke is an Australian Orthopaedic Surgeon with a focus on preventative medicine and nutrition. Gary has concentrated on the role of diet in the development of diabetes, obesity and cancer. He has been speaking out on the combined role of sugar, particularly fructose, refined grains and polyunsaturated oils in the epidemic of inflammation and modern diseases. He has incurred the wrath of Australian regulatory bodies for his stance on public health advice, but he and his wife, Belinda, actively defend the benefits of low carbohydrate dietary patterns. Their ongoing work has uncovered the vested interests and ideologies shaping nutritional guidelines at the policy level in Australia and beyond.
