William Grant, PhD shares “The Roles of Ultraviolet Radiation Exposure, Vitamin D, and Nutrition in Maintaining Optimal Health on January 21, 2016 at Silicon Valley Health Institute, Palo Alto, CA.
Dr. Grant has studied the roles of nutrition, ultraviolet radiation exposure, and vitamin D in the risk of disease starting in 1996 when he was working as an atmospheric scientist at the NASA Langley Research Center in Virginia. He does research using the ecological study approach in which health outcomes for populations are averaged either for geographical units such as states or countries or by temporal variations which are compared statistically with risk-modifying factors such as UVB doses or dietary factors. He has made pioneering findings regarding the role of nutrition in the risk of Alzheimer’s disease and the roles of UV radiation exposure and vitamin D in the risk of many types of cancer, influenza/pneumonia, and autism. He has studied a wide range of diseases and health outcomes. His talk will present information on the role of UV exposure, vitamin D, and dietary factors in maintaining optimal health and reducing the risk of adverse health outcomes at all ages and conditions including pregnancy. He has over 300 publications listed at pubmed.gov (search Grant WB), of which a number are open access.
