"Backed by the best scientific evidence of the day... relentlessly attacked the ingredients, marketing practices, and dietary habits that research showed can undermine the health of Americans. [...] With a natural bent as a communicator, Dr. Jacobson was able to sell serious science with catchy phrases and humor, alerting the public to foods to avoid and offering suggestions for more wholesome alternatives. -- The New York Times
"Jacobson started a movement that inspired Americans to question what was in the food they eat and to make it safer and healthier. Through his tireless devotion to science and public health, he helped save many lives, and the success he achieved will benefit generations to come." -- Michael Bloomberg
"Dr. Jacobson moved the country to demand healthier food. No single individual has done more. He converted an industry that initially was downright hostile to adopt nutritional values that have become mainstream." -- Dr. David Kessler
