Dr. Milton Mills has an extensive background in nutrition research, focusing on the role nutrition plays in the development of chronic diseases. He is a graduate of the Stanford University School of Medicine and is a practicing physician in the Washington, D.C. area.

Dr. Mills is the co-author of PCRM’s report on Racial and Ethnic Bias in the U.S. Dietary Guidelines. He also serves as the Race & Nutrition Specialist and Board Adviser for A Well Fed World. Whether internist Dr. Mills is practicing at Fairfax Hospital in Virginia or at free clinics in Washington, D.C., his prescription for patients is likely to include some dietary advice: eat a whole-food, plant-based diet.
