Statement of Purpose

The Dr. Gourmet website is designed as an information resource for healthy eating. Our mission is to offer the reader information on a healthy diet that is based on sound, peer reviewed medical research about nutrition. Because Dr. Harlan is a physician and a chef, he has a unique ability to not only help you understand the latest research on diet and nutrition, but also he is able to offer you practical solutions for changes in your diet.

Whenever possible the research cited on the Dr. Gourmet website provides you with a link to the original article. Only information from medical sources recognized as offering sound editorial policies are used in citations. Often the links will lead you to only an abstract (summary) and access to the complete research is available by subscription only.

Health information, as well as recipes and cooking tips, are added weekly. Questions emailed to Dr. Gourmet are answered as soon as possible (often the same day).

At this time Dr. Gourmet does not accept advertising. We do receive support occasionally in partnership with corporations. Whenever and wherever a partnership exists, the source of that partnership is clearly stated.
