Lyle MacWilliam’s Association with USANA
Mr. Lyle MacWilliam, MSc, FP, is an author, educator and biochemist who serves as a consultant and public advocate to the natural health products industry. A former Canadian Member of Parliament and provincial Member of the Legislative Assembly for British Columbia, Mr. MacWilliam served at the behest of Canada’s former Minister of Health to help develop an innovative regulatory framework for natural health products, ensuring Canadian consumers access to safe, effective and high quality nutritional supplements. As a consultant to the natural health products industry, he continues to work with major nutritional manufacturers in Canada, the United States, Mexico, and China.
Mr. MacWilliam has also served as a contributory writer to Life Extension Foundation, a leading advocate of anti-aging medicine, and has been a consultant to Environment Canada, Human Resources Development Canada, and the British Columbia Science Council. He is a member of the Society of Industry Leaders, an international organization bringing together authorities from all fields in a global network connecting industry veterans and academic professionals with institutional investors.
Mr. MacWilliam was asked to serve as a scientific consultant on the Medical Advisory Board of USANA Health Sciences after the release of the third edition of the Comparative Guide to Nutritional Supplements in 2003. Although this was not a paid position, Mr. MacWilliam voluntarily stepped down as a scientific advisor to USANA precisely because of the concern that it could be perceived as a possible conflict of interest with respect to the publication of his popular Comparative Guides in 2006.
Mr. MacWilliam is neither an employee of USANA Health Sciences nor an Independent USANA Associate.
