A Diabetic Nation: An American Tragedy

Dr. Bissonnette is an associate professor of nutrition and a registered dietitian, with several years of
experience practicing clinical nutrition in various hospitals and clinics. He earned his doctoral degree
from the Faculty of Medicine's Nutritional Science department at the University of Toronto and has
taught nutrition for over 25 years to students in the health sciences, nursing, dietetics, and nutrition.
His formation in epidemiology and biochemistry and his research on obesity, artificial sweeteners,
malnutrition and the impact of malnutrition, antioxidants and trauma on muscle function and
biochemical integrity have prepared him to better understand population and individual health. He also
is able to competently convey the biochemical and metabolic implications associated with health and
disease—a key feature of his textbook. Dr. Bissonnette has published his research in peer-reviewed
journals such as the International Journal of Obesity (London), Obesity (Silver Springs), the American
Journal of Clinical Nutrition and the Journal of Nutrition. He has been an invited expert commentator on
nationally syndicated radio shows, such as, Sunday Morning Magazine KRWM-FM, Seattle, WA, hosted
