After last year’s inaugural Evidence Based Raw Food seminar we decided to make this in to a yearly tradition. There is evidence that humans can help both their pets, and themselves, by eating and drinking better or taking nutraceuticals. But also raw feeding risks have again been researched. This time we have the excellent researcher and lecturer Professor Huub Savelkould from Wageningen University as our main lecturer. This should be as interesting for students of human or veterinary medicine, pet owners, parents, nurses, and anybody with an interest in multidisciplinary research on the relationships between diet and disease in humans and pets.
