About this talk:
It seems that there’s a new food safety scandal every day in the headlines. What can we do to protect ourselves? As a family medicine doctor living and working in China for over five years, Dr. Cyr offers tips on healthy eating practices at home, at the market, and in restaurants. The talk will also review the major food safety scandals from the last few years.
