Conner Middelmann Whitney

Conner Middelmann-Whitney is a nutritionist, health writer, chef, and author of Zest for Life, The Mediterranean Anti-Cancer Diet. Since overcoming early-stage cervical cancer 11 years ago (prompting her to quit her job as a reporter with the Financial Times and become a nutritionist) her interest lies in lifestyle cancer prevention with a special emphasis on diet.

Conner advocates a diet that is as varied as possible and consists of unprocessed, seasonal, fresh foods that are simply prepared and ideally enjoyed in a convivial setting. Industrially processed 'edible food-like substances' (Michael Pollan) containing denatured fats, concentrated sugars, refined starches and synthetic additives - rich in calories but low in nutrients - are best avoided. Conner's anti-cancer recipes are versatile and grounded in French and Mediterranean culinary traditions.

Nourish

Conner's blog, Nourish, in which she describes her own efforts at anti-cancer living, leans heavily on the recommendations of the World Cancer Research Fund, a not-for-profit umbrella association unifying a global network of cancer charities dedicated to funding research and education programmes into the link between food, nutrition, physical activity, weight maintenance and cancer risk. The WCRF is acting as scientific adviser on the diet and physical-activity aspects of Conner's blog.
