About us

The Nutrition and Metabolism Society is a 501(c)3 not-for-profit organization addressing aspects of the current crisis in medical nutrition. Our major effort is supporting research in laboratories of Eugene J. Fine, MD and Richard D. Feinman, PhD. Work in the lab is directed to the application of ketogenic diets for treatment and prevention of cancer. We also provide information on biochemistry and physiology and public policy on this site and the associated blog, Feinmantheother.com.

While we are not advocates for any particular approach, we think that the benefits of carbohydrate restriction, ketogenic diets and related approaches are not only under-appreciated and underutilized but specifically opposed by professional private and government agencies. The Society is particularly concerned with the escalation of personal and professional attacks on physicians, dietitians and private  individual. While violations of due process and free speech are most egregious abroad (e.g. Health Providers Association in South Africa and Dietitians Association of Australia) there is neglect of the health benefits in the United States as well.

All donations to the Society are used for research and are tax-deductible as allowed by law..
