RALPH E. CARSON, PHD, RD, is a frequently requested international speaker on topics of health, diet, weight management, eating disorders, and nutrition. Dr. Carson has been involved in the research and teaching of food science at major universities as well as maintaining a successful private practice for the past thirty years. His unique background in health science and medicine (BS from Duke University and BHS in pathology from Duke University Medical School) coupled with nutrition (BS from Oakwood College and PhD from Auburn University) and exercise (certified as a fitness trainer fro the Institute of Aerobics Research, Dallas, Texas) has prepared him to integrate often complicated science into a user-friendly format. He has investigated over one hundred native and exotic fruits for almost a decade and studied extensively their antioxidant capacity, inflammatory properties, and phytonutrient content. Dr. Carson currently resides in Huntsville, Alabama, with his wife, Ellen, and they have three children and two granddaughters. See less
