Dr. Larry Palevsky is a board-certified pediatrician trained at the New York School of Medicine, and one of the leading physicians in the country who, from my view, is actually able to compellingly and convincingly provide sound, rational, scientific justification as to why you need to seriously reconsider […]
Health Impact News Editor Comments: As you read about these “federal criminal investigations” against raw milk farmers, keep in mind that these are federal investigations under the Obama administration. Cash-strapped states in most cases could probably care less about spending time prosecuting small dairy farmers, but the Obama administration has no problems using your tax […]
