Studies show that more than 70 per cent of Canadians already consume natural health products
Studies show that more than 70 per cent of Canadians already consume natural health products. With cancer rates also on the rise worldwide, there is a clear need for accessible, accurate information about interactions between natural health products and cancer treatments such as chemotherapy.
On Thursday November 13th Paul Spagnuolo, an assistant professor in the School of Pharmacy, will give a free public lecture on food-based supplements and their effects on cancer. This talk is an opportunity for the public to learn about new research on nutrition and alternative medicine so they can make informed choices about their health.
“Anyone who’s interested in their health should attend the public lecture, especially Kitchener-Waterloo residents,” says professor Spagnuolo. “This is a pretty big global problem that’s being solved in their backyards.”
The School of Pharmacy runs annual lectures to engage the general public and make the latest research widely accessible, supporting health and well-being in our community.
Date: Thursday, November 13, 2014
Time: 7 p.m. to 9 p.m.
Location: University of Waterloo School of Pharmacy, 10 Victoria Street South, Kitchener, ON
