On Thursday, October 20, The Heartland Institute will host a luncheon for Dr. Elizabeth Whelan, president of the American Council on Science and Health.

Whelan holds a Masters in Public Health from the Yale School of Medicine, a Master of Science from the Harvard School of Public Health, and a Doctor of Science from the Harvard School of Public Health. She is the author or co-author of 23 books on nutrition, smoking, and environmental topics.

Whelan will discuss "Contemporary Issues In Public Health: Separating Fact from Fiction." She explains, "The good news is that topics related to health and preventive medicine are in the news more than ever. Public health issues--including those related to food safety, obesity, cancer prevention, pharmaceutical availability, and more--are of great interest to consumers. The bad news is that health topics are often highly emotionally charged--and subject to misinformation and distortion." She will examine six major health myths and the not-always-well-known truth that lurks behind them.

The Heartland luncheon with Dr. Elizabeth Whelan will take place from 12:00 noon to 1:30 p.m. (registration at 11:45 a.m.) at The Metropolitan Club in the Sears Tower, 233 South Wacker Drive, Chicago.
