Joel Fuhrman (born December 2, 1953) is a Board Certified family physician and author based in New Jersey.[1][2][3] He advocates a Nutritarian Diet, which he describes as a nutrient-dense eating style.[4]

Early Life

A former competitive figure skater, he suffered a serious injury which removed him from competition. He says an alternative medicine therapy helped speed his recovery and led him to become a physician.

Life and career

Fuhrman was born in New York City, on December 2, 1953. He was a competitor in the amateur figure skating circuit.[5] He was a member of the US World Figure Skating Team and placed second in the US National Pairs Championship in 1973. In 1973, he suffered a heel injury which prevented him from competing.[5] He followed an "irregular cure" from a naturopath which included a long fast and led Fuhrman to become interested in alternative medicine.[5] He came in 3rd place at the 1976 World Professional Pairs Skating Championship in Jaca, Spain, skating with his sister, Gale Fuhrman,[6] but due to the short-term massive muscle loss from the fast was unable to make the Olympic team.[5] In 1988, he graduated from the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine.[5] Fuhrman is a board-certified family physician and serves as Director of Research for the Nutritional Research Foundation.[7]

Bibliography

Dr. Fuhrman published his first book in 1998, tilted: Fasting and Eating for Health. Since, Fuhrman has authored six New York Times bestsellers: Eat to Live (Little Brown, 2003); Super Immunity (HarperOne, 2012); The End of Diabetes (HarperOne, 2013); The Eat to Live Cookbook (HarperOne, 2013); The End of Dieting (HarperOne, 2014) and The End of Heart Disease (HarperOne, 2016). [8]

His practice is based on his nutrition-based approach to obesity and chronic disease, also referred to as a nutritarian or restrictive diet,[9][10] as well as promoting his products and books.[5] He has written several books promoting his dietary approaches and sells a related line of nutrition related products. As of April 2013, his book Eat to Live was on the New York Times bestseller paperback Advice & Misc. list for 90 weeks.[11]

Diet and health

Fuhrman has advocated eating at least one pound of raw vegetables and another pound of cooked vegetables each day.[5] He popularized the notion of nutrient density in what he calls the Health Equation: Health = Nutrients/Calories (abbreviated as H = N/C).[5] Fuhrman created what he calls the "Aggregate Nutrient Density Index" or ANDI, a ranking of foods based on his claims of micronutrient concentration and kale is at the top of this list.[5] Whole Foods began using the scores as a marketing project and reported that the sales of high scoring foods "skyrocketed".[5]

Controversy

Critics have stated that Joel is merely an American celebrity doctor who advocates what he calls a micronutrient-rich diet.[25] Dietician Carolyn Williams has described Fuhrman's nutritarian diet as a fad diet.[26] According to Williams "Although this diet is marketed as an eating pattern, it is essentially a fad diet. Those who do try this diet should go into it knowing that it is not sustainable for everyone long-term, and is only a temporary quick fix to lose weight."[26] Fuhrman appeared on the raw food documentary Simply Raw in which he promoted a vitalistic view of food and the pseudoscientific idea of detoxification.[27]

Fuhrman has heavily marketed his products and his infomercials have "become a staple during the self-improvement bloc of PBS pledge drives."[5] In the October 2012 edition of Men's Journal, Mark Adams stated that Fuhrman "preaches something closer to fruitarianism or Christian Science than to conventional medical wisdom".[5] Adams also reported that Fuhrman believes that the flu vaccine "isn't effective at all".[5]

Peter Lipson, a physician and writer on alternative medicine, has been heavily critical of Fuhrman's health equation, writing that since its terms cannot be quantified, it is "nothing more than a parlor trick".[28]
