Health issues in headlines will be brown bag focus

Christian Minter

Red wine, coffee, dark chocolate, yogurt and coconut oil — what do these have in common?

They have all been reported in the news as having health benefits.

Join Christian Minter, assistant professor at the McGoogan Library of Medicine, for “They Said It — You Heard It: Health Issues in the Headlines” at the next Olson Center Brown Bag on Jan. 16.
