Book Signing Event: Unsafe at Any Meal by local author Dr. Renee Dufault

September 28, 2017 @ 4:30 pm - 5:30 pm

Unsafe at Any Meal Book Cover

The Naalehu Public Library is pleased to host local author Dr. Renee Dufault, who will tell us all about her new book Unsafe at Any Meal: What the FDA Does Not Want You to Know About the Foods You Eat.

Her book “explains food labeling in plain terms, offers guidelines for a nutritionally balanced diet, and much more. Extensive references…round out this ‘must-have’ for consumers.” – Midwest Book Review

Dr. Dufault became a medical laboratory specialist when she joined the U.S. Army in 1976. Following her four-year service, she went on to earn a Bachelor of Science degree in Environmental Policy Analysis and Planning at the University of California at Davis. She then served in the Navy for two years as an Industrial Hygiene Officer, before transferring to the Public Health Service (PHS), where she served as an Environmental Health Officer. During her fourteen years at the PHS, she worked at the National Institutes of Health, the Environmental Protection Agency, and the Food and Drug Administration, where she provided expertise in the areas of toxicology, environmental health, and industrial hygiene. Since her retirement, Dr. Dufault went on to earn a doctorate in Health Education. In addition, she is the founding Executive Director of the Food Ingredient and Health Research Institute (FIHRI), and, as such, collaborates with scientists worldwide to conduct studies and publish papers focused on the many toxic substances still contained in our present food supply. A popular world-wide speaker, Dr. Dufault has had numerous articles published in peer-reviewed journals. She currently resides in Hawaii. 

All are welcome to this free signing event!
