Since his widely reported presentation on the
antioxidant network to The United Nations and World Health Organization First Joint
Conference on Healthy Aging, Dr. Packer has sought to address a more general
audience. The Antioxidant Miracle, published in 1999 by John Wiley & Sons, is his first book for non-scientists. When Scientific American needed a widely recognized authority to write an article on vitamin E for their inaugural Scientific American Science and Medicine issue, they invited Dr. Packer. Recently he has been interviewed by Time, Newsweek, The New York Times, and ABC News. |
