Career
In 1997, he attempted to improve the health of the citizens of the State of Hawaii by involving Hawaii's governor Ben Cayetano, his cabinet members and a number of prominent community members in promoting his diet to the general public. His book The Hawaii Diet (2000) is based on this work.[6] In 2000, he created Zippy's "Shintani Cuisine" Program which has served over 900,000 low-fat, no-cholesterol meals to members of the public, and of which all royalties are used to promote health in Hawaii.[7] Shintani was influenced by the macrobiotic diet.[2] His The Good Carbohydrate Revolution (2003) has been described as a high-carbohydrate low-fat fad diet.[8]
In 2006, for his lifelong service to the Hawaii community, he was formally designated a Living Treasure of Hawaii.[9] In 2006, the Honolulu Advertiser described Dr. Shintani's work as an important part of the island's 150-year history.[10]
