Arnold E. Bender
Arnold Eric Bender (1918-1999) was a British expert in nutrition and food toxicology.[1]
Bender worked as a Professor of Nutrition and Dietetics at Queen Elizabeth College. He was the president of the International Union of Food Science and Technology.[1]
Among his notable works was the The Facts of Food (1975), which was positively reviewed in the New Scientist as a "breathless tour of nutrition... unlikely to be matched for accuracy or density of information."[2] He was also the author of the skeptical book Health or Hoax? (1986) which criticized the claims of alternative medicine and refuted many of the myths about "healthy eating".[3][4]
