When Dr. Royal Lee died in 1967, he was hailed as the greatest nutritionist of the twentieth century. Yet today his name and work go largely unknown. This is no coincidence. Dr. Lee’s basic message—that the ultimate cause of most modern disease is malnutrition brought on by industrially produced foods—threatened some of our country’s mightiest institutions. These powers actively suppressed Dr. Lee’s message and decades of early nutrition research supporting it. Dr. Lee would spend his life fighting this suppression, all the while demonstrating the validity of his holistic nutritional philosophy through that most rare and precious form of proof—practical results. Dr. Lee’s legacy is inextricably linked with the story of early nutrition science and its unpublicized suppression. We invite you to explore both here.

Comment by Dr. Jay R. Robbins, DC, DACBN, CCN - 

Though he was called the “Einstein of nutrition,” Dr. Lee was also a mechanical genius, with countless patent and inventions to his name that can be found in everything from standing food mixers to electric dental drills. He was also a farmer, a researcher, an activist, an innovator and a philanthropist who was decorated by humanitarian and scientific societies alike.
