A reviewer at amazon suggested that Dr. Colgan "hides" his credentials. Just in case someone might believe that, I give his background, which I believe to be more reliable than many MDs, because well people, Dr. Colgan's aim, do not visit MDs very often. What a eat contributes to, or doesn't contribute to, building of healthy body tissues through metabolism, something conventional doctors apparently are not taught in med school -- a serious informational lack.
Colgan is a PhD, a title I trust more than M.D., based on my personal experience as a "consumer" of medical care. He has many affiliations and memberships among human-health related professional associations and research institutions.

From 1971 to 1982, Dr. Colgan was a senior member of the Science Faculty of the University of Auckland, where he taught Human Sciences and conducted research on aging and physical performance. Startling results of his early research convinced him to write his first book for the public, Your Personal Vitamin Profile (William Morrow, New York), during his tenure as a visiting scholar at the Rockefeller University in New York. This revolutionary book rapidly became a definitive guide for accurate, scientifically researched nutritional information.
