"Jeff, your ability to probe and analyze the research literature is as good as anyone I know, inside or outside of the professional research community. You actually obtain the papers and critically review the tables and charts of the data, then see if the authors discussion of their own data is consistent."

“Jeff has a marvelous way of making nutrition make sense. What he shares makes enough practical sense to be of use when a person is doing food shopping or looking for a place to eat. His presentation to the residents in our family medicine residency was put to use in helping their patients make wise lifestyle changes to treat disease or lose weight. I can heartily recommend Jeff Novick as a reliable and effective communicator of truly healthful information. You won't be disappointed.”

“I thought your life's work was helping people live healthy.... I guess I was mistaken... "my bad". You give great lectures on calories density, nutrition labels and health. I can't wait for the comic movie , "Dense and Denser", starring Jeff Novick.
And in my opinion no one gives better lectures on calorie density and nutrition....but a comic? No, your are not just any comic, you are the zenith of comedy genius.. in my humble opinion.. you are up there with Jim Carey and Robin Williams...and Moses.. why your wasting your time teaching nutrition, I don't know.
​
Jeff, put down the Power Point clicker and head for Hollywood, dude. And I'll see you at the Golden Globes.”

Former Cast Member Saturday Night Live
