Dr. Eric Braverman
![In the year 1975, I had my first job at the Princeton Brain Bio-Center. I was assigned the important task of helping Dr. Carl Phiffer to write a book, "Zinc and Other micro-Nutrients". When I wrote this book, it was considered that Lead was safe at 80 parts per million, and we argued that a safe level was zero. Subsequently, every five years or so, the environmental protection agency lowered this limit to 60, then 40, then 20, then 10, and some groups even lowered it down to zero for children. At that time, we discovered the important role for zinc, where a hundred enzymes were involved. Iron was involved with only eight enzymes and received far more attention. I was told by the Dean at Harvard Medical School that my work on nutrition was completely meaningless and obsolete, and unimportant for medicine. The importance for micro-nutrients in our soil and the impact on behavior is not well known. The importance of magnesium in heart disease, the long term toxic effects of aluminum, lead, cadmium, and mercury on the brain, were all identified in my first book. Selenium is an anti-cancer agent.](http://media.trb.com/media/thumbnails/story/2011-08/342844020-11101944.jpg "In the year 1975, I had my first job at the Princeton Brain Bio-Center.
