Additional Info
The story of Dr. Denis Burkitt, who was renowned in medical circles for discovering a grotesque cancer in children (Burkitt’s lymphoma). His discovery led to the isolating of the first human cancer-causing virus, the Epstein-Barr virus. For more than 20 years Dr. Burkitt tirelessly traversed the world, skillfully lecturing on the potential for preventing disease through improved nutrition, including the dangerous role of a high-fat diet.
