Ted Wilson, Ph.D., is Professor of Biology at Winona State University in Winona, Minnesota. His research examines how diet affects human nutritional physiology and whether food/dietary supplement health claims can be supported by measurable physiological changes. He has studied many foods and dietary supplements including pistachios, low-carbohydrate diets, cranberries, cranberry juice, apple juice, grape juice, wine, resveratrol, creatine phosphate, soy phytoestrogens, eggplant, coffee, tea, and energy drinks. He has examined the associations between these dietary factors and the development of heart failure, diabetes, and obesity.
