STANFORD
UNIVERSITY — GNLD, one of the world’s oldest, most respected nutritional companies, has partnered with The Health Library at Stanford to teach tomorrow’s doctors
about the critical role of nutrition in disease prevention.
More than 800 of the nation’s leading doctors, researchers, medical students, scientists, and health professionals attended GNLD’s first annual Arthur Furst Lecture Series on Nutrition
and Disease Prevention at Stanford to learn how good nutrition can literally add years to one’s life.
It’s rare for a private health and nutrition company to be embraced with a unique university partnership such as this. A company must first be recognized as an authority in its industry,
and accepted as a responsible, scientifically sound and ethically strong organization.
Barbara Ralston, director of the Health Library at Stanford, put into words the high esteem Stanford holds GNLD, “We’re proud to partner with a top-notch company, GNLD International,
to present this extraordinary academic education program. GNLD researches the science of, and produces, food supplements, and has done so with the highest degree of scientific and ethical
integrity for 43 years.”
The important lecture series was established in honor of Arthur Furst, Ph.D., Sc.D., senior member of GNLD’s Scientific Advisory Board, eminent research chemist, toxicologist, pioneer,
professor,

international lecturer, and recipient of numerous distinguished honors and awards.
“GNLD is proud and appreciative
of this opportunity,” says John Miller, GNLD’s International Vice President of Science and Technology. “We look forward to continuing our relationship with Stanford far into
the future. GNLD has a deep and abiding respect for this institution and its mission in the world, and we’re proud that Stanford has chosen to partner with GNLD.”
Through the years, Dr. Furst has played a major role in advancing GNLD’s scientific leadership in the nutrition industry. GNLD’s request that this lecture series be named in his
honor was a token of their appreciation.
“One of Dr. Furst’s greatest passions is to help people live longer, healthier lives”, noted Miller, “Through the
Arthur Furst Lecture Series on Nutrition and Disease Prevention, Dr. Furst’s pursuit of that passion can continue for generations to come.”
Not too many years ago, the nutritional supplement industry was regarded by the medical and health care community as purveyors of unsubstantiated hype. Today nutritional supplementation is
a well accepted dietary practice, and GNLD is increasingly recognized as the scientific leader.  |

Held on campus at Stanford University for the first time on April 10, 2001, this significant lecture series was the largest event of its kind in the history of Stanford Medical Center.
GNLD’s Stanford partnership is only beginning. The ongoing Arthur Furst Lecture Series, which honors the life work of GNLD Scientific Advisory Board Founder Dr. Furst, provides a forum
for distinguished scientists, doctors, and medical professors to present the very latest disease-prevention research to the next generation of health care professionals.
Throughout Dr. Arthur Furst’s long, distinguished career, he has been recognized as one of the most brilliant minds in the field of disease prevention. A pioneer of cancer research,
Dr. Furst established the Cancer Chemotherapy Laboratories many years ago while Professor of Medicinal Chemistry at the Stanford School of Medicine. Among Dr. Furst's many accomplishments
is his development of the world’s first antioxidant product back in the 1970's, at GNLD International.
The Arthur Furst Lecture Series is just one more way GNLD is changing the face of health care and disease prevention through nutrition, and it is another example of GNLD’s reputation
in the scientific, business, and academic communities. Distributors and customers alike can be proud of this GNLD Difference! |
