Dr. Joel Brind, Ph.D. has been a Professor of Biology and Endocrinology at Baruch College of the City University of New York for 28 years and a medical research biochemist since 1981. Long specializing in steroid biosynthesis and metabolism and endocrine-related cancers, his research has exposed the causal connection between abortion and breast cancer.
Ostracized by his colleagues and persecuted by the National Cancer Institute, he persisted in telling the truth about the “ABC link” (abortion breast cancer link). Along with Dr. Angela Lanfranchi, he co-founded the Breast Cancer Prevention Institute. His research has also dealt with a connection between hormonal contraception and cancer.
In recent years, Dr. Brind has specialized in amino acid metabolism, particularly in relation to glycine and one-carbon metabolism. In 2010 he founded Natural Food Science, LLC to make and market glycine supplement products.
