so
0:28
worldwide we're looking at approximately 350 million people with diabetes
0:34
there's no question that we're in the midst of a diabetes epidemic right now one in
three medicare dollars
0:41
is spent in the care of people with diabetes one in 10 total health care dollars is
0:47
spent on people with diabetes there's no question that this is a major problem
0:53
what in particular is the correlation with the diet and diabetes i'm not going to
get into that into diet
1:13
[Music]
1:24
my name's kip i'm a filmmaker from san francisco and i have a confession to make
i'm a recovering hypochondriac like so
1:30
many of us i have a family history of diabetes heart disease and cancer my dad had
his
1:35
first heart bypass of 49 his second at age 50. my grandpa died young from diabetes
1:40
complications and both my other grandpa and grandma died of cancer i was always
paranoid that i would also
1:46
get one of these diseases like any good hypochondriac webmd symptoms checker was
essentially my
1:51
browser's homepage even in my teens i took metamucil every day and a daily aspirin
i read all the latest self-diagnosis
1:58
books i had every multivitamin i could get my hands on and i was obsessed with
bodily functions
2:03
i followed all the large health organization's recommendations for preventing
disease i exercise regularly don't smoke don't
2:10
drink soda get enough sleep reduce stress and grow up eating what i thought was a
healthy diet
2:15
until world health organization this morning has classified processed meat such as
bacon
2:20
and sausage as carcinogenic directly involved in causing cancer in humans
2:26
processed meat is clearly linked to an increase in cancer hot dogs or bacon could
be just as
2:32
dangerous as smoking cigarettes the world health organization had looked at over
800 studies from 10
2:38
different countries finding a direct link to consuming processed meat and cancer
just one
2:44
serving of deli meats daily increases your risks of colorectal cancer by 18
2:49
i had no idea that what we ate affected cancer rates but i never felt like i had
eaten a lot of processed meats until i realized that
2:56
processed meat includes hot dogs bacon sausage salami ham pepperoni cold cuts and
deli slices
3:03
basically everything i grew up eating the world health organization classifies
processed meat as a group 1 carcinogen
3:10
the same group as cigarettes asbestos and plutonium and classifies red meat as a
group 2
3:17
carcinogen was this like i had essentially been smoking my entire childhood
3:22
if processed meats are labeled the same as cigarettes how is it even legal for kids
to be eating this way
3:28
i thought this was new information but many of these studies have been around for
50 years i couldn't believe i'd been
3:36
eating processed meats virtually my entire life and was just now finding out how
dangerous they are
3:43
why hadn't i been hearing about it from the american cancer society the largest
cancer group in the nation
3:48
when i went on their website i was shocked to see that none of this information was
featured on their homepage but even more shocking
3:55
on their eat healthy page they actually encouraged eating group 1 carcinogenic
foods like processed
4:01
turkey and canned meats this is after the world health organization reviewed over
800 studies
4:07
definitively linking processed meat to
4:13
i'm a cancer information specialist probably i help you today hi i was calling
because i was wondering why you all recommend
4:18
people to process meat on your website which the world health organization is
4:23
classified as a group one carcinogen which is in the same class as tobacco smoking
4:29
asbestos and plutonium this would be like a lung association
4:35
having a how to roll your own cigarette section on their website it's kind of the
same thing but let me
4:42
just place you on a brief hold because he wasn't able to answer my questions and
said someone would get back with me
4:49
i had always been concerned about cancer because both my grandma and grandpa died
of cancer
4:54
i wondered if things would have been different had they known the link between diet
and this terrible disease
4:59
in the u.s one out of every four deaths is from cancer oh sweet american cancer
society rep
5:06
confirmed an interview this week so we just went in for the interview
5:12
with the american cancer society rep and the security guard said there's no
interview scheduled
5:17
so i went into my phone and it turns out last night after i told her that the
interview is going to be about the
5:22
correlation between diet and cancer she said she could no longer do the interview
5:29
after repeated emails asking why she was declining my interview to simply talk
about diet and cancer she stopped responding
5:37
altogether why would an american cancer society rep not want to talk about this
5:43
i was however able to connect with a growing movement of doctors who are willing to
talk about the link between the standard american diet and disease
5:50
and it goes beyond just cancer i took my old trusty van super blue once again out
on the road
5:56
two-thirds of adults are now overweight or obese and we have an epidemic cascade of
debilitating disease that's overcoming
6:02
the country there's no way we can sustain the current style of care with the
epidemic that we're creating
6:09
with our diet lifestyle choices the diabetes the arthritis the heart disease the
dementia
6:14
the obesity the cancers are affecting about 70 percent of deaths all the data is
that those 70 percent of
6:21
deaths and morbidity are largely lifestyle related and preventable most kids by age
10 in the u.s
6:29
already have fatty streaks in their arteries the first stage of atherosclerosis
leading to heart attacks
6:34
strokes here in american medicine we operate from the disease model we are in the
business of treating sick
6:41
people we are not in the business of trying to prevent people from becoming sick
when you look at chronic
6:47
disease risk all the things that we walk around worrying about actually dietary
choices trump smoking
6:53
when it comes to those risks if i could deliver one message to the researchers who
are looking for
6:58
the cause of diabetes and the cause of clogged arteries and the cause of high blood
pressure and
7:03
the cause of obesity i would tell them the answers in three words it's the food
7:09
it's what americans are eating today with two-thirds of americans being overweight
7:14
clearly there's a food issue in the next 25 years one out of every three americans
will have diabetes
7:21
my name is michael abdallah i'm from atlanta georgia and unfortunately i was
diagnosed about
7:28
10 years ago with diabetes and eight years ago i had two stents put in
7:33
i don't know where to go i don't know what to do you're just like out of options
and you don't know what to do you're taking medicine you're listening to this
7:40
doctor and the cardiologist says take this and and the endocrinologist says take
that
7:46
then your general practitioner doctor says you don't know what's going on here and
it's a it's a real it's a real
7:52
challenging thing and it's something that you don't want to get it you just don't
7:57
want to get it government and media almost exclusively blame lack of exercise in
sugary foods as a cause
8:03
of diabetes but i wanted to talk with an actual expert on the role of diet and
diabetes i went to speak with premier physician
8:10
diabetes expert and researcher dr neal barnard what role does sugar play in causing
diabetes
8:17
it drives me crazy diabetes is not and never was caused by eating a high
carbohydrate
8:23
diet and it's not caused by eating sugar the cause of diabetes is a diet that
builds up the amount of
8:28
fat into the blood i'm talking about a typical meat-based animal-based diet you can
look
8:33
into the muscle cells of the human body and you find that they're building up tiny
particles of fat that's causing insulin resistance what
8:40
that means is the sugar that is naturally from the foods that you're eating can't
get into the cells where it belongs it
8:46
builds up in the blood and that's diabetes i had never heard that meat was
associated with causing diabetes we had
8:52
always been told that sugar obesity caused it renowned weight loss bariatric
surgeon dr garth davis though agreed
8:58
everyone thinks that they get diabetic because of carbs they did a huge study in
that epic study 500 000 people carbs
9:04
consumption was inversely related with diabetes in other words the more carbs
someone ate the less diabetes they had
9:10
but meat was strongly correlated get that aha moment the starches the carbs are
good for you
9:15
they're not bad for you this idea that carbs make you fat is utterly ridiculous
carbs cannot make
9:22
you fat in and of themselves we have storage in our muscles and in our liver for
9:27
carbs called glycogen so when we eat carbs we either store it or we burn it now eat
fat
9:32
that goes straight to your fat your body can't turn those carbs into fat unless
you're really over doing
9:37
the calories obesity it's a death sentence you're at much higher risk of getting
cancer you're almost certainly going to get diabetes i
9:44
mean no one wants to fat shame and we all want everybody to be comfortable with our
bodies but this movement to be comfortable with our bodies has made us
9:50
comfortable with being sick and that's a huge problem i go into the hospital and i
look around me
9:55
people on dialysis all these sick people and just about every disease in there is
because of what people are eating here's
10:00
the thing if i eat a sugary cookie the sugar lures you in like the trojan horse but
waiting inside that
10:07
cookie is a huge load of butter or shortening and that's what fattens you up and
that's the part that leads to the
10:13
diabetes it's the fatty foods not really so much the sugar it's not that sugar is
good for you there's no nutrients in it
10:18
it's excess calories but when you eat sugar you don't get inflammation right away
when you eat sugar you're not
10:23
getting plaques forming in your vessels when you're eating sugar your body is going
to store most of it as glycogen or burn it as calories and
10:32
so this focus on sugar has taken all the focus off meat dairy eggs pork turkey
chicken
10:39
people need to understand now if their child gets diabetes you've just taken 19
years off their lifespan we're
10:46
talking life and death i realized there was so much more about diet and disease
that i hadn't ever learned
10:52
it felt as if this information had been practically withheld processed meat causes
cancer sugar
10:58
doesn't cause diabetes i had doubt about the claims these doctors were making so i
did some searching on my own
11:04
harvard researchers looked at nine prospective studies finding that just one
serving of processed meat per day
11:09
increased risk of developing diabetes by 51 percent the link between eating meat
and
11:15
developing diabetes became undeniable but when i went on the leading diabetes
organization's website the american
11:21
diabetes association not only did they not have this information front and center
they were featuring recipes for red and
11:28
processed meat and on their recipes for healthy living they had bacon wrapped
shrimp
11:34
what the health all right send an email to american diabetes association see if
they'll get back to us
11:40
as destructive as diabetes is it pales in comparison to heart disease over 17
million people die every year
11:47
from cardiovascular disease it is the leading cause of death around the world
nearly one out of
11:52
every three people will die from this disease the amount of people who die from
cardiovascular disease is the equivalent
11:59
of four jumbo jets crashing every single hour every single day every single year
12:10
my name is amy resnick and i'm from swampscott massachusetts a little bit north of
boston
12:16
and i recently went to my doctor for asthma because i had a very hard time
breathing
12:22
and while there she did some blood work and one of the tests was
12:28
c reactive protein and a scale from there was a scale of one to three one
12:34
being low for cardiac event three being high for a cardiac event and my number was
12:39
10.82 what does that mean that means i am on the road for a heart attack and she
said probably within the
12:46
next 30 days 30 days 30 days if i'm going the way i was going
12:52
i take this for my heart arrhythmia take this for pain oxycodone for pain
13:01
and lorazepam for stress cyclobenzaprine for muscle relaxer also
13:08
take topmax and prozac and i also use a cpap machine to help me breathe
13:14
and my asthma has been so bad this past year i use it during the day as well to get
13:20
some air i am tired when i wake up i'm tired during the day
13:26
i take a nap i'm still tired i can't breathe and i know i need to make a change
13:34
from my health or else i'm not going to be here for my family when we speak of
heart
13:41
disease i would say the role of alcohol is pretty small the role of sugar is very
13:46
small too smoking is big but the good news is that most people have quit or never
did smoke
13:52
the problem with animal-based diet its contribution to heart disease is huge and it
is pervasive
13:57
all this expensive imaging procedures bypasses
14:04
medication none of which has one solitary single thing to do
14:10
with the causation of the illness so you die of a completely benign foodborne
illness that never had its
14:16
causation treated when we eat these kind of dead meat bacteria toxins
14:21
within minutes you get this burst of inflammation within your system such that you
basically paralyze your arteries you
14:27
get the stiffening of the arteries their inability to relax normally in half so
it's not like
14:33
decades down the road eating unhealthy there'll be some damage no we're talking
damage right then and there within minutes of
14:39
it going into our mouth many people are given the diagnosis of alzheimer's
14:44
disease when it's not true alzheimer's at all the vast majority of people suffer
dementia
14:49
due to their tiny blood vessels and their brain clogging up and their nerve cells
being short
14:54
changed of oxygenated blood and guess where that blood vessel dementia comes from
those little tiny arteries are
15:00
clogging up from that steady stream of fat cholesterol etc it's really quite clear
from the
15:05
standpoint of cancer and the standpoint of cardiovascular disease that animal
protein plays an enormous role is chicken better
15:13
it's a question of whether you want to be shot or hung the flesh food that i would
eliminate from the american diet would
15:20
be poultry would be turkey and chicken a brilliant advertising campaign has
convinced people that oh it's white
15:26
meat it's healthier the leading source of sodium in the american diet for adult is
15:32
chicken it can be labeled all natural chicken but be injected with the salt water i
think up to 800 milligrams of sodium
15:38
heterocyclic amines are clear-cut carcinogens and they can form in any kind of meat
as
15:44
it's heated as it's cooked but by far the biggest source is chicken we sent
researchers
15:50
into fast food and family restaurants not only were there carcinogens in every
single restaurant
15:56
but we found them in every single chicken sample that we took if somebody brings
their family in and they're
16:01
buying a bucket of chicken nobody tells them that there are carcinogens if you're
selling carcinogens to people
16:07
you've got to warn them that they're in there but the american cancer society
encourages people to switch from red and process meat to
16:13
chicken why would the american cancer society tell people to switch from eating one
carcinogenic food to another when a
16:19
harvard university study showed that men with prostate cancer who eat large amounts
of chicken increase their risk of the disease
16:25
progressing four times the number one dietary source in america of cholesterol is
chicken because of the
16:31
volume of chicken you know chickens become grilled chicken and organic chicken it's
machismo
16:36
but it has nearly as much cholesterol per gram as red beef so just ensure volume
it's the
16:42
number one source yeah eggs being close by i never really thought about eggs much i
just thought of them as a standard
16:47
part of a healthy diet but then i found a study suggesting that eating just one egg
a day can be as bad as smoking
16:54
five cigarettes per day for life expectancy the yolk of a hen's egg is the most
16:59
concentrated glom of saturated fat and cholesterol it is made to run a baby chicken
for 21 days
17:06
with no outside energy it is pure fat and cholesterol and when we put that into our
17:11
bloodstream it coats our red blood cells our blood gets thicker and more viscous it
changes our hormone levels it raises
17:17
our cholesterol levels there's nothing healthy about eating the yolk of the egg but
i thought cholesterol unsaturated fat wasn't an
17:24
issue anymore you know the saturated fat studies that have come out trying to
vindicate saturated fat is a campaign by the dairy
17:30
industry right number one source of saturated fat is dairy it's not meat 2008 the
global
17:35
dairy industry got together at a meeting and explicitly read their agenda was to
neutralize the
17:41
negative impact of milk fat by regulators and medical professionals unquote so what
did they do they funded studies the
17:47
main study that started the whole saturated fat media craze was funded by the
national dairy council
17:53
the egg industry similarly funds studies that confuse consumers by making claims
that eggs don't negatively affect heart
17:59
function that is only when compared to eating a mcdonald's sausage mcmuffin
18:04
so what they're really saying is that eating eggs is just as bad as eating a
mcmuffin when you eat foods like beef or steak or
18:11
a processed meat a hot dog you're not just getting saturated fat you're also
getting other additional
18:16
toxins that are in that food there's heme iron carcinogens processing chemicals
this is all a lot more complicated than just
18:23
looking at saturated fat you know the strategy is not on making their products any
safer
18:28
the strategy is to just try to confuse the public to introduce doubt you know
there's a famous tobacco industry memo
18:35
it's called doubt is our product that's all they had to do they didn't have to
convince americans that smoking
18:41
was healthy right they just had to introduce doubt then they would win
18:46
if there's just enough controversy people kind of throw up their hands i don't know
what to eat confusion is their game
18:53
i really don't think people thought what they ate led to heart disease they think
oh it's genetic my parents had it i don't
18:59
think people really think that what they ate led to diabetes i think oh my parents
had it i was gonna get it and certainly cancer they don't think
19:05
that way people have bad lifestyles that they've inherited environmentally they've
been exposed to a certain way of eating and
19:12
living that they've carried on into their adulthood passed on to their children
that is why
19:17
they go on to develop the same diseases that their parents and grandparents may
have had before them but it is
19:23
not inevitable even if you have a genetic predisposition doesn't mean it's going to
necessarily manifest and what
19:28
determines whether it manifests or not maybe those epigenetic variables the things
that you can control the environmental factors the dietary
19:35
factors the lifestyle factors we can actually change the expression of genes tumor
suppressing genes
19:41
we're activating genes by what we eat what we put into our body so you know even if
you've been dealt a bad
19:48
genetic deck you can still reshuffle it with diet i had always thought that i would
develop
19:53
heart disease at a young age because both my dad and grandpa had heart attacks i
was taught that they were genetic but
19:59
their heart attacks probably had less to do with genes and more to do with their
diets high in meat that's why when i went on the american
20:05
heart association's heart healthy recipes page i could not believe they had an
entire
20:10
section on beef recipes this was just like the american cancer society encouraging
eating group one carcinogens on their
20:17
site meatloaf pork loin steak on your recipe list are you kidding me
20:24
it's like this menu is trying to give people heart attacks at your website we
notice heart-healthy recipes and we're
20:31
kind of bewildered by why there's a bunch of recipes on a whole section on beef
beef recipes
20:38
and there's also a section on egg recipes when there's such a strong link between
beef red meat
20:44
and heart disease i i i honestly don't know because i
20:50
don't do that i guess that's not what i do another organization rep that wasn't
able to answer my questions
20:56
but he said that he'd have someone get in touch shortly i was however able to talk
to the president of the
21:01
american college of cardiology dr kim williams so the american college of
cardiology is a 47
21:08
000 member and growing organization with a dedicated mission to reduce heart
disease and to improve
21:15
patients lives and if you look at the incidence of hypertension and diabetes uh and
mortality in men they they
21:21
actually get reduced as you uh go higher and higher in terms of how much you
restrict animal products
21:27
what about fish so fish is a little different you've got the four worries which is
pcbs mercury
21:37
saturated fat and cholesterol and the cholesterol is all over the place you can hit
tuna
21:44
and water that'll be almost less than a glass of milk to
21:49
salmon or tilapia which is higher than a pork chop if you look objectively at fish
what you
21:55
find is they've become essentially mercury sponges and that's why in many parts of
the country they warn you you know don't
22:00
have more than so many of these fish a week because it's getting too much mercury
can kill you fish are eaten by bigger fish who are
22:07
eaten by bigger fish and these pesticides and herbicides bio accumulate in the fish
flesh and the
22:12
big fish including the salmon which people think is the healthiest fish truth is
the amount of pesticides and
22:17
herbicides in the flesh of these fish are shocking and they have estrogenic and
cancer promoting properties in them
22:24
they'll say well but don't sardines have less concentration of toxic waste product
than other ones something being less toxic
22:32
doesn't make it healthy it just makes it less toxic farmed fish is by no means
healthier all the
22:39
antibiotics that these animals have to be fed similar to chickens and turkeys kept
in confinement these fish get infections
22:45
they get fungal infections they get bacterial infections you've got to feed them
antifungals antibiotics and these substances accumulate in the
22:52
fish flesh as well i always knew that pollution was bad for our health but i never
thought about the environmental pollutants affecting food
22:59
dioxins being the most toxic man-made chemicals known to science cause all sorts of
things they cause
23:04
endometriosis they cause cancers they cause endocrine disruption problems most of
your exposure 93 of it comes
23:11
from eating meat and dairy products because it climbs up in the food chain so
effectively so you can get exposed living near these
23:18
incinerators and breathing it but it'll take you 14 years to breathe in as much
dioxin as
23:23
a cow will ingest by eating the grass in one day and that dioxin will accumulate in
its fat which includes the milk
23:30
and the meat and anyone eating meat or dairy products is going to get that dose of
dioxin so
23:35
it climbs up the food chain every step men have no way in their bodies to get rid
of dioxins
23:41
but women have two ways they're both involving having a baby one is that dioxin
crosses the placenta
23:47
into the growing infant and the other is that it comes out from the breast milk so
if you have a meat and dairy consuming mother
23:53
breast feeding that infant then the highest impacts of toxic exposure like mercury
and dioxins will go to that infant
24:00
pregnant women are told that certain types of fish should be avoided but what about
all these other animal
24:05
products which are introducing imagine as the fetus is developing introducing these
very harmful
24:12
toxins which create reproductive abnormalities developmental problems and hormonal
24:18
issues right as the child is developing the most critical stage of development it
does make you worry
24:23
when people say don't you want to have a little bit of milk because you're pregnant
don't you want to have some fish because you're pregnant who do you
24:28
think is going to get the chemicals that are in that all these environmental toxins
and toxins from the feed that they're being
24:35
fed accumulate in their tissues and are released into the mother and unfortunately
to the child when you
24:41
eat these products when you're pregnant so this includes antibiotics hormones
24:47
steroids in animal feed commercial animals are largely fed gmo corn and soy which
are very laden and
24:55
pesticides pcbs have been banned since the 70s but they persist in the environment
25:01
dioxins all these compounds can create hormonal reproductive developmental
25:07
damage as well eating organic beef poultry pork or fish will not help you avoid
25:13
contaminants like mercury like dioxins like strontium 90 because they fall out over
all sorts of farm
25:19
fields and water bodies and they don't skip over the organic fields and so really
the contaminants are
25:24
coming in regardless of how these animals are raised i had always been concerned
about the possible health impacts of gmos but
25:31
then found out that most of the world's gmo crops are actually consumed by
livestock with dairy cows consuming the
25:36
most per animal this fact with everything i'd learned about bioaccumulation made
dairy terrifying
25:42
especially considering how much cheese i ate in my life cheese is an amazing
product when you think about it it's probably one of the
25:49
single best foods at compromising health that you're going to actually feed to
25:54
people think about it you've got an animal product so you've got all the issues of
biological concentration
26:00
you have a highly processed food product and not only does it have naturally a lot
of saturated fat but you put a lot
26:07
of salt into it there's a strong link between dairy foods and autoimmune diseases
and so that can show itself up as
26:14
excessive production of mucus and exacerbation of asthma in kids who are prone to
that and
26:19
even adults and also there's an association between dairy foods and multiple
sclerosis and type 1 diabetes which is an
26:26
autoimmune disease and other rheumatologic problems cow's milk is baby calf growth
food that's what
26:34
the stuff is there's absolutely no child or human on earth who actually needs the
milk of a cow
26:40
any more than they need the milk of a giraffe or a mouse most people in the world
are lactose
26:45
intolerant i mean that's the normal state of affairs why would your body create
this enzyme digest lactose after
26:51
weaning after infancy it doesn't make any sense 73 of african americans are lactose
26:56
intolerant 95 of asians uh roughly 70 of native americans and about 53
27:03
percent of hispanic americans are lactose intolerant our government is encouraging
americans of color to eat
27:10
foods that it knows is going to make them ill ultimately what that boils down to is
the government is telling
27:15
me as an african american eat food that's going to make me ill for no health
benefit so that it will benefit dairy farmers as
27:22
a form of institutionalized racism yeah milk is a risky food for human consumption
as a pediatrician
27:28
i see on a daily basis children suffering from conditions that are linked or
27:34
associated to dairy consumption such as eczema acne constipation acid reflux iron
deficiency
27:41
anemia cosmic protein is the most allergenic food people say well no i want hormone
free
27:47
not injected with bovine growth hormone but milk is this hormonal fluid so it's
just
27:53
packed with sex hormones and natural sex steroid hormones like estrogen
progesterone in fact
27:58
doesn't matter if it's conventional milk doesn't matter it's organic milk milk
without hormones it's an oxymoron
28:04
organic dairy has just as much saturated fat and cholesterol and galactose
28:09
and all the things that you don't want as conventional dairy dairy products in
general have a lot of
28:15
other products associated with it not the least of which is pus i mean they
actually have laws limiting
28:20
how much pus you can actually have in a milk and still sell it i believe it's like
750 000 plus cells per cc
28:26
because i mean you wouldn't want too much possibly like pure past people might
object in fact you could think of cheese as
28:32
kind of coagulated cow pus if you would but i was always told that we need milk for
strong bones
28:37
i'm jane chapman and not too long ago finally got some x-rays of the hips and
28:44
back severe bilateral osteoarthritis of the hips
28:49
and actually i'm scheduled for two hip replacements that's bone on bone it's the
grinding
28:55
of the joints my stability is scary i hold on to the walls
29:01
if i'm at home i've been told to use a walker i'm only 61. this is not how you're
29:07
supposed to live when you're this old i have a really hard time believing that
29:14
that's all that's left researchers have studied bone development in kids and
whether
29:19
they get stress fractures and that kind of thing and the kids who drink the most
milk have zero protection milk does not build
29:25
strong bones harvard researchers have looked at a large group of older women over
an 18-year period the milk drinkers had
29:32
zero protection from fractures so this old notion that somehow milk is going to
build strong bones or protect your bones
29:39
later in life it's a myth people that drink milk have higher rates of hip fractures
29:44
have more cancer and live shorter lives it turns out that countries with the
highest dairy consumption also have the
29:50
highest rates of osteoporosis so clearly drinking more milk doesn't protect your
bones doing more research i
29:56
found that dairy was linked to many different types of cancer as well just like
many of us i thought that the
30:01
majority of cancer was due to genes but only five to ten percent of cancer is
actually genetic
30:07
any cancer is caused by a dna mutation but that's not enough so that can cause that
first cancer cell but
30:13
one cancer cell never killed anyone two cancer cells never killed anyone but a
billion cancer cells now we're running into problems so we
30:20
need to reduce the growth factors in our body like igf-1 insulin like growth factor
one is this cancer-promoting growth hormone
30:26
involved in every stage of cancer cell growth and spread and metastases any animal
protein boosts
30:33
the level of igf-1 dairy products increases your risk for various forms of cancer
especially those
30:39
related to your hormones so breast cancer prostate cancer ovarian cancer so this is
not a product
30:44
even in its most pure state you want to be consuming because it does come with risk
i found out that dairy can increase a man's
30:50
chance of getting prostate cancer by 34 percent and for women who've had breast
cancer just one serving of whole
30:56
dairy a day can increase their chance of dying from the disease 49 and dying from
anything 64
31:03
why weren't breast cancer sites like susan g komen warning everyone about this for
calling susan g
31:10
coleman this is johnson how may i help you so we're wondering why you don't have a
huge warning about
31:16
the dangers of consuming dairy in a website when there's a direct link to breast
cancer it was a study published in the
31:21
journal of the national cancer institute that found out women consuming dairy who
has had breast cancer increases
31:27
their risk of dying of breast cancer 49 percent it's wondering why it's not on your
website
31:34
we cannot answer these types of questions once again another health organization
rep saying someone else would have to answer my question
31:41
rather than risk being stood up again i went straight to the local susan g komen
chapter to see if they would answer my
31:46
questions
31:52
they didn't want to answer my questions in person either and told us to stop
filming but promised they would connect
31:58
me to the national office directly [Music] susan g komen's pink ribbon campaign had
32:05
done a lot to raise awareness for breast cancer although it was confusing to see
pink ribbons on dairy yogurt containers
32:12
breast cancer can be prevented with a healthy diet and lifestyle but we're not
we're talking about
32:19
pink ribbons and putting all the money into research for the cure i for one know
that i would want
32:24
my daughter my mother me i want to focus on not getting to that point and that's
where i
32:29
would like to see more energy and effort put i had been a hardcore cheesyholic
32:34
virtually my entire life despite the risks but like so many others i seem to have
been addicted to it
32:40
it turns out that the casein protein that's the main protein in dairy products and
particularly in
32:45
cheese it breaks apart in the human digestion to create what are called
casomorphins
32:51
casein-derived morphine-like compounds that go to the brain and they attach to the
very same
32:57
receptor that heroin attaches to don't get me wrong they're not as strong as that
but they are strong
33:02
enough to make you come back again and again and again despite the fact that you're
gaining weight
33:08
you're more unhealthy than you've ever been but that cheese just calls out to
people casomorphin uh may
33:13
play a role in sids and sudden infant death syndrome may play a role in autism this
is one of the reasons why we don't
33:21
want infants drinking milk from cows human breast milk has 2.7 grams of casein per
33:27
liter compared to 26 grams per liter for cow's milk that's practically 10 times
more no wonder it's so
33:34
addictive this talk about addiction made me think about all the drugs animals are
fed i went to the headquarters of the center
33:40
for food and safety the nation's leading fda government watchdog group to see how
concerned we
33:45
need to be about drugs and our food so that we know of there are at least 450
different
33:51
drugs are administered to animals either alone or in combination these drugs are
given to animals for a
33:57
variety of reasons very very few of which are actually beneficial to consumer
health
34:02
we've got drug companies that work real hard to make sure they can sell lots of
drugs to people
34:09
raising cows pigs and chickens the pharmaceutical industry sells eighty percent of
all the antibiotics that it
34:15
makes in the united states to animal agriculture antibiotic residues are found in
meat other antimicrobials are found in meat
34:21
there has been ractopamine found in meat there's been hormones found in meat so
right there you're talking about four different drugs
34:27
it could be you know in the same piece of meat the pharmaceutical company supposed
to show the safety of animal
34:33
drugs they're not really testing to see what the impacts of these drugs are on
humans they're really looking to see what the impacts of these drugs are on
34:39
animals you know when we try to get information on on some of the health studies
and the environmental studies from
34:46
federal agencies we get back page after page of blacked out information because the
company
34:54
claimed confidential business information consumers have no idea what is in the
products that they
35:01
consume so how sick something makes me and how bad it pollutes the environment
35:06
is a secret for a company in the animal agriculture industry as in the tobacco
industry
35:11
these companies really have a vested interest in making sure that the public
doesn't have information about their effects and what
35:19
risks are really posed to consuming them you have this system where animals are
living in their own waste they're
35:25
living next to animals that are sick or even dead and they're stuck in cages with
these animals that bacteria tends to spread
35:32
that the pathogens that are being created in these filthy conditions are breeding
resistance to antibiotics and
35:38
the public are becoming exposed to those we already have people dying from
salmonella and
35:43
other things that you eat we have about 3 000 people die every year
35:48
in the united states that's more than the number of people that were killed in 911
in the twin towers in new
35:55
york if we had some terrorist organization killing 3 000 people a year we would be
all over it the
36:02
antibiotic resistant bacteria deaths that we have on top of that you get 20 000
people dying a year that's
36:10
seven 911s every year can you imagine if that many people were
36:18
being killed by some terrorist group in the united states every year we would find
them you know the world health organization
36:24
has said we're nearing a post-antibiotic era in medicine you'll be at risk in minor
surgeries to have a fatal infection
36:30
you'll be at risk going to the dentist if you have a tooth extracted or it'll be
like civil war medicine you get an infection in your leg and you
36:37
cut your leg off so you have this very dangerous situation by crowding these
animals in
36:43
they become a perfect engine for generating a new flu virus that can come
36:48
out into the community if you lived near a swine spray field not even the cafo but
the waste disposal
36:55
field you were three times more likely to have a mrsa infection you can't see how
it impacts
37:03
the average person's life in duplin county north carolina and not be a little upset
about it
37:11
from an environmental standpoint from a community standpoint from all other aspects
north carolina
37:16
we're in a we're in a state of emergency we've already had bouts of swine flu or
h1n1 as they prefer to refer to it
37:22
that particular swine flu incident was uh originated on a farm here in north
carolina
37:28
there's approximately the same number of hogs in north carolina as there are people
between eight to ten times the amount of
37:35
feces is produced by a hog an adult hog as compared to an adult human 10 million
37:40
pigs in north carolina produce the waste equal to 100 million humans this is the
equivalent of the entire u.s
37:47
eastern seaboard flushing their toilets into north carolina but there is no waste
treatment the pig's waste falls
37:53
through slats in the floors of the sheds they are forced to live in it is then
pumped into giant waste pits which leach
37:58
into rivers and streams and is pumped out unfiltered onto fields further polluting
the environment and
38:04
neighboring health when you go back and you look at where these hog facilities are
located
38:10
there's a disproportionate number of them that are located near communities of
color low income
38:16
communities it is definitely a human rights issue my sister she have aspen and you
know
38:22
her brother you have aspen he's three and we don't know what she
38:28
might have i have aspen i have sinus i have
38:33
sakadosa this is the bacteria and i have a pacemaker which is six sinus syndrome
38:39
but you know mostly everybody in this neighborhood got asthma or either cancer
38:45
my neighbor there died from cancer probably just last year my nephew down the
street he's got
38:51
cancer he's internment of cancer stage four not a smoker not a drinker
38:56
and it's not in his lungs it's in his lymph nodes let's see if you live here and
saw the way they do
39:02
you don't need no pork well i don't eat bacon because i know where it comes from
when they die they go into a box
39:10
and they decompose because they swell from stretch from the heat a truck come and
pick them up take them
39:17
to the process and plant the rose hill ground them up into feet and feed it
39:23
back to the hogs if i come out this door if he's spraying there it's gonna come in
my face it hit
39:28
you right in the face you smell like something that you have never smelled before
it's not working in dead body it's the family graveyard
39:36
i have my grandmother out there my sisters my brothers when we go to the funeral he
39:41
used to spray during the funeral dinner yes during the funeral yeah you spray and
when the people come
39:50
everybody be closing their nose up saying hi stink they can want to have a cookout
on sunday yesterday do you think he does it on
39:56
purpose i think so because he just sprays sunday he always prays sunday
40:02
and most of these area hog houses and turkey house is in the black area or the
hispanic
40:08
area it's either r do you think it's also a civil rights issue yes yes i do yes i
do
40:23
there have been times in the past that i have gotten ready on the sunday and got
ready
40:30
to go to church and come out and the smell was so strong that i had to go
40:35
back and regroup because it got in my clothes and i just couldn't go to church
smelling like hogs you know i just
40:42
couldn't do it so i don't think the government cares they care more about
40:48
cooperation than dude people individuals and they're going to keep on they're going
to put more chickens in this state
40:54
this is the feast season you're in captain of the world right here in north
carolina my state look there's a blue line stream
41:00
right here come into my property almost and the continental creek right here i've
seen that blue line stream they're filled
41:06
with feces and urine from that hog pin and they can say well we feed the world
they're not interested in feeding the
41:12
world they're interested in making money you take the money away from it and let
the folks starve because if you want to feed the world
41:18
you can feed the world with more corn using corn and wheat and stuff like that and
you can meat meat is a luxury item
41:24
when we're doing things that hurt other people we're wrong but a lot of good people
41:29
will sit there and eat bacon knowing that it's causing someone else
41:35
to be very unhappy i woke up the next morning to find the
41:40
burden river had experienced another massive fish kill from the pollution running
off hog farms
41:46
tens of thousands of fish were washing up on shore all this talk about health i
realized
41:52
that i was only focused on personal health but health started to mean so much more
to me it was about health of my family
41:58
and our communities i couldn't under good conscious support an industry that i knew
was harming others
42:06
pollution from animal agriculture isn't just an issue in north carolina though
raising animals for food produces more
42:12
greenhouse gases than the entire transportation sector it is a leading cause of
rainforest destruction
42:18
species extinction ocean dead zones and freshwater consumption
42:27
american diabetes association actually finally got back and they agreed to an
interview
42:34
preparing for the american diabetes association interview i took a look at their
diabetes diet and meal plan
42:40
recommendations and they were loaded with foods associated with causing diabetes
42:45
how could they expect people not to get diabetes if this was the food they're
recommending
42:50
and then i saw multiple peer-reviewed studies published on the national institute
of health website showing that
42:56
a low-fat plant-based diet was more than twice as powerful controlling and even
reversing diabetes
43:02
than the ada recommended diet that included meat and dairy the mission of the
american diabetes
43:08
association is to identify a prevention and a cure for diabetes
43:16
but in the meantime to improve the lives of all people who are affected by diabetes
43:22
and uh what's the best way to prevent to prevent this for type 2 diabetes it's
43:29
unclear we can't prevent type 2 diabetes in everybody
43:34
when we're doing research we came across a lot of studies that said that you
actually could potentially cure
43:43
reverse diabetes with a purely plant-based diet i don't believe there's sufficient
43:48
evidence to demonstrate that how does it compare to the ada
43:54
diet that you recommend we don't recommend a specific diet we recommend we
recommend healthy eating the one
44:00
that's on the website we recommend healthy eating there is do you have a whole uh
44:06
you have a whole list of exact day-to-day the meal plan the whole meal plan all
44:11
they are selections of foods to consider we do not have a diet diabetes diet but
44:17
with with that selections i consider that that plan compared to an all plant-based
plant no one's
44:24
done that study we found actually some studies that a 74-week study found that low-
fat vegan
44:30
diet versus the ada plan and type i think we're done here
44:36
i'm not gonna i'm not gonna get into an argument about that oh no just wanting the
studies of uh
44:41
the studies that if this is true or if it shows that if any diet works
44:49
any diet works if people follow it but if it's a diet that's not the proper
44:56
diet like if anyone follows a diet that they i can't i can't tell you what a proper
diet is
45:02
i can tell you what an improper diet is so then we can talk about the good diets
45:09
i'm not sure why i'm not going to get into that into diet no if that's if that's
where you want to go
45:15
with this i'm sorry i'm not the person that you should be talking to and why is
that though if that's what
45:21
you want to get into i'm not the person you need to be talking to who do we talk to
about diet you can
45:26
talk to anybody you want but that's interesting though why not recommend a diet
because the data don't
45:31
exist but if i see we see data that we looked up that supports it with like you
know the
45:38
nih the uh in europe the european european side we're done i'm sorry
45:46
i'm not going to get into this argument but i don't sorry anymore i'm not going to
get into why is it an argument it's just talking
45:51
about in european study of diabetes and other places that have studies why there
are
45:58
lots of stuff why is it even an argument there are lots of studies in the
literature
46:04
many of which have never been replicated or frankly are wrong that's why we do peer
46:11
review okay the european association of study of diabetes has been peer reviewed or
i don't know
46:19
what study you're you're referring to and in the absence of being able to see that
study i'm not going to comment
46:24
i could show it to you i'm sorry i don't have the time for that i just don't
understand why it's an argument though or
46:30
okay
46:39
that was interesting what he wanted to talk about was people living along with
diabetes
46:44
but once you mention eliminating diabetes or prevention oh whoa now you cross the
line
46:50
prevention and cure whoa whoa let's not go there not only did dr ratner the chief
medical
46:57
officer of the american diabetes association not want to talk about diet but the
fact that he had such an
47:02
emotional reaction to my question made it feel i was digging into something that he
didn't want and covered
47:08
i had always thought there was no prevention for type 1 diabetes but then i did
research and came across
47:14
countless studies referencing the link between exposure to dairy at a young age and
type 1 diabetes
47:20
i mean this is a food made for baby cows cow milk protein gets into the bloodstream
and the body says
47:25
hey this isn't supposed to be in the bloodstream it makes antibodies the cow milk
protein which then attack the pancreas and destroy the pancreas
47:32
how is this possible that ada wouldn't have this forefront on their website why
wouldn't they be warning all parents
47:38
about this even if they're only a slight chance why were they recommending people
to actually eat these foods
47:43
linked to diabetes it seemed all of the large health organizations were encouraging
people to eat the very foods
47:49
linked to the diseases they're supposed to be fighting against american heart
association promoting beef
47:54
american cancer society promoting processed meat pink ribbons on dairy products and
bacon wrapped shrimp on american
48:01
diabetes association and then it all came together
48:06
what if [Music]
48:12
and there it was the american diabetes association was taking money from dannon one
of the world's largest dairy yogurt
48:18
producers kraft foods makers of velveeta processed cheese oscar meyer processed
meats lunchables processed kids meals and bumblebee foods
48:24
makers of processed canned meats
48:30
american cancer society was taking money from tyson one of the world's largest meat
producers in yum brand owner of pizza hut kfc and
48:37
taco bell susan g komen was supposed to be fighting breast cancer was corporate
48:43
partnering with kfc deets watson processed meats and yoplait yogurt
48:48
and the american heart association was probably the most disturbing of all taking
hundreds of thousands of dollars
48:54
from the beef industry poultry and dairy producers and millions from fast food and
processed food
49:00
manufacturers every single one of these organizations was taking money from meat
and dairy
49:07
companies that are associated with the causes of these diseases this would be like
the american lung association taking money from the
49:14
tobacco industry i was sick of not getting answers so i
49:19
went to the headquarters of these organizations myself we have to speak someone in
person there's millions of people dying
49:25
from the foods that they're recommending people to eat i wanted to find out why
susan g komen
49:31
had accepted 35 million dollars from yoplait when their products can increase a
woman's chance of dying from breast
49:36
cancer 49 and ask american cancer society if taking money from kfc and tyson was
the
49:42
reason they promote eating meat but every one of these organizations declined to be
interviewed
49:49
what's really sad is that we cannot trust information from these leading health
organizations like
49:55
the american heart association the american diabetes association because they are
taking
50:01
money from the very industries who are causing the problems that they're you know
supposed to be helping to
50:06
prevent so that makes the the truth something that you are not going to be hearing
50:12
as far as nutrition goes from these organizations well that would be the end of
their funding that would be the end of their
50:17
jobs that would be lawsuits they would bring the entire catastrophe down upon their
heads and they would essentially disappear as
50:23
organizations this one time i got invited to a charity fundraiser for the american
diabetes association
50:30
i showed up and they had a whole buffet and that was all just animal products i
remember like a big
50:36
thing of barbecue chicken and i was like i stormed out i said it i
50:41
said like serving chicken at a diabetes event is like serving alcohol
50:47
at an a.a meeting it just doesn't make sense we had scheduled to film an interview
50:53
with a prominent surgeon but before we could get inside the building the hospital's
media relations
50:58
manager stopped us actually i understand that doctor said that you could film here
today but
51:04
unfortunately that's not going to be able to happen i know that he advocates for
patients changing their diets but the
51:10
hospital makes money off these surgeries and the reality is he does too so we can't
do anything that's gonna
51:16
negatively impact the hospital so unfortunately you're not gonna be able to film
here today
51:22
i was sickened by how open she was about the hospital being more interested in
profits than people's health
51:29
but it wasn't just this hospital or these organizations even the u.s government is
involved too
51:35
every five years the u.s department of agriculture creates dietary guidelines for
americans the committee who writes these
51:40
guidelines has been made up of individuals who have received money from mcdonald's
the national dairy council the american meat institute the national
51:47
dairy board the national livestock and meatboard the american egg board dannon
canny and sugar companies coca-cola and
51:53
anheuser just to name a few which means we're getting our dietary recommendations
from the very industries
51:58
that are killing us and when they the usda makes a pyramid or a power plate
52:04
every five years for the american public they're going to guarantee that on that
plate are going to be foods which when
52:09
consumed will result in millions of americans perishing
52:15
the usda which is supposed to be protecting us has two missions it's supposed to
protect us and it's supposed to protect the
52:21
producer and guess what when those two come ahead to head they usually choose the
producer in internal documents
52:27
uncovered by dr greger the usda admitted that eggs cannot legally be called
nutritious low-fat part of a balanced diet
52:34
low-calorie healthful healthy can't say it's good for you are even safe yet they
still promote these
52:39
products to the american people through federal check-off programs if you ask
somebody if they've heard of a checkup program the odds are they
52:46
haven't although daily they are seeing the messaging that these programs produce so
check off programs are responsible
52:52
for the messages that we see on tv on the internet on bus billboards and magazines
that say things like
52:58
milk it does a body good or milk life beef it's what's for dinner pork be inspired
the incredible edible
53:06
egg the dairy check off program gave 12 million dollars to dominoes to just market
cheese heavy
53:13
products and this is the usda this is the government if you've seen those ads for
the pizza hut pizza the stuffed crust
53:20
or a pound of cheese those are all government advertising schemes for the industry
53:25
how can we put more cheese on beef how can we put more milk in a coffee things like
that to
53:31
just drive consumption of these just unbelievably unhealthful products so
mcdonald's for instance has
53:38
six people staffed full time according to records we found whose salaries are paid
for by this
53:44
government program but funded by the producers who are regulated by it and these
six people sit there at
53:50
mcdonald's headquarters and just come up with ideas triple cheese decker
53:57
mccheese muffin stuffed bacon cheese slider
54:04
with extra cheese no yes you don't think of it on a day to day basis that these are
54:10
government programs the wendy's bacon double cheeseburger government program the
steak fajita
54:18
dunkin donuts government program you would just never think that this just pure
garbage from a food standpoint
54:25
is coming from a federally funded program that's one of the things that makes
chekhov's
54:30
so incredibly creepy is that it is our government telling us eat more beef drink
more milk
54:36
eat more cheese eat more pork one of the very effective ways that the dairy
industry promotes its products is to reach
54:44
children because kids are impressionable they're going to be consumers for their
entire lives
54:50
and you might as well get them while they're young so darry spends at least 50
million dollars promoting its
54:55
products in public schools throughout the country with posters with people with
milk mustaches
55:02
and messages like milk it does a body good or milk life targeting young people
right
55:08
the tobacco industry had to keep replacing their customers who are dying with new
customers
55:13
mean industry knows they have to target young people that's why we have these foods
in schools and marketing
55:18
messages at a younger younger age for kids to get hooked on all the wrong kinds of
foods so there's all kinds of parallels school
55:25
districts where processed meats are all over the place maybe it's going to be bacon
on the menu sausage hot dogs or pepperoni pizza any
55:33
of those things are processed meats and those are pretty much the worst of the
worst with a direct link to colon cancer i mean and yet you have
55:39
every day in the schools meal items with processed meats if the surgeon general
puts warning labels on tobacco
55:45
because of their cancer risk why aren't the same warning labels on meat
55:51
based on the publicly available data we know they spend at least 557 million
dollars
55:56
promoting their goods through check off programs we know that they spend at least
138 million dollars
56:02
lobbying congress we expect that they spend a good deal more than that that in
figures that simply aren't
56:07
publicly disclosed the industry's lobbying power is so strong that they can create
laws and push through legislation that doesn't benefit
56:13
americans in any way such as ag-gag laws that criminalize whistleblowing of
photographing abuses
56:19
by this industry activists in the us can be charged as terrorists for disrupting
the profits of any business that uses animals under the
56:26
animal enterprise terrorism act to the even more ridiculous ones like cheeseburger
laws
56:32
a cheeseburger law is a law that says a plaintiff cannot recover against a
manufacturer distributor
56:37
retailer on the theory that the food made the plaintiff obese or caused in an
obesity-related disease
56:44
cheeseburger laws are a direct response to a problem that the tobacco industry has
56:50
had big tobacco has paid 400 billion dollars to state medicaid programs
cheeseburger laws proponents say we
56:57
don't want to see the same kind of thing happen to the meat and dairy industries
the fact that these laws are based on a
57:03
model template called the common sense consumption act is actually ironic because
what they're saying is
57:09
you the consumer should have the common sense to know that our food is bad for you
i've often
57:15
typified the meat industry to people who maybe don't understand its power and reach
as it's got
57:21
all the money of big tobacco and big pharma and it has the personality of the
national rifle association
57:28
so any any little thing that comes up man they they beat it to death robert martin
57:34
wasn't exaggerating when the profits of the egg industry were threatened by egg
alternative company hampton creek foods
57:40
extremely disturbing emails were uncovered by ryan shapiro and jeffrey light we
uncovered documents demonstrating the
57:47
american egg board considers hampton creek quote a crisis and major threat to the
future of the american egg
57:53
industry the american egg board considers a successful egg replacer company to be
such a threat that they joke on
58:00
their government email addresses about murdering the ceo in internal government
emails with the heads of the
58:06
egg industry they suggest having the ceo of hampton creek josh tetrick murdered
including a menacing email from
58:14
executive director of the american egg
58:20
board the meat producers don't have to pay for the heart disease or the
environmental
58:27
destruction or any of the other externalities as economists call them
58:32
that their products cause you know then there's a whole pharmaceutical aspect of it
and the fact that there's a
58:38
very strong pharmaceutical industry and lobby that has a huge stake in preserving
the status quo these chronic diseases
58:45
these are the cash cows of the pharmaceutical industry you have a five billion
dollar stent industry do they ever want to see
58:51
that go away we've got a 35 billion dollar statin drug industry do they ever want
to see that go away i'm talking about
58:57
the pharmaceutical industry effectively controls what doctors are told most
research isn't put into
59:03
prevention it's put into the medication that we might use for that particular
disease
59:09
i'm on two different high blood pressure medicines six asthma type medicines even
after
59:17
four years of shots and then another medicine to help take care of side effects
from some of those medicines
59:23
i'm on high level anti-depressants a couple of different pain meds for my
59:30
back and hips i'm taking about 16 drugs not counting the insulin in the morning
59:36
i i take insulin in the morning insulin night you know 32 to 34 units of insulin
59:44
atlantis to be exact some of these meds are for diabetes this is for peeing i
59:50
have to use this for my prostate and then i have to use this for the heart
59:56
and i have to use this for blood pressure and and it's just on and on and on and on
1:00:02
the doctors are telling me this what i've got to do for my whole life and it's
frustrating and it's very stressful and i don't know
1:00:10
how long my liver is going to last taking all this stuff under conventional medical
treatment whether it be for
1:00:15
autoimmune disease or even conditions like high blood pressure or diabetes you're
told that you have to take drugs
1:00:22
and not just for a week or a month or a year you're told you have to take drugs
forever
1:00:27
you're guaranteed that if you follow your doctor's advice you'll be sick forever
you'll never get
1:00:33
well that's the guarantee because the strategies are all about manipulating the
symptoms not
1:00:40
dealing with the underlying cause you come in with that diagnosis you get a bunch
of pills that have nothing to do
1:00:45
with the disease causation or you get these procedures that have nothing to do with
disease causation
1:00:50
it's a deception you say this pill will help you unclog your arteries this one will
save you from a stroke no it
1:00:56
doesn't the people who take the stems etc they still get their heart attacks they
still get their strokes this is not reverse
1:01:02
disease this does not make plaque smaller this is a fraud of massive proportions
1:01:08
in the u.s treating chronic disease such as heart disease cancer and diabetes is a
1.5
1:01:13
trillion dollar industry that's the gdp equivalent of the 10th richest country
1:01:18
in the world i went back and dug deeper into the health organization's funding and
there it was again these
1:01:25
organizations were accepting millions of dollars from pharmaceutical companies that
are making billions of dollars from
1:01:31
the very same diseases these health groups are supposedly trying to end it seemed
like a major conflict of
1:01:37
interest unless ending these diseases isn't really the goal the pharmaceutical
industry spends more money on lobbying
1:01:43
than any other single industry just like animalia culture they are so powerful they
write their own laws that
1:01:48
have had activists in prison to silence them government's in bed with anyone that
gives them the most money which is the
1:01:54
pharmaceutical industry which is the animal ag industries like they are pumping the
government full of money and
1:02:00
resources and in return the government's giving them what they want subsidies
imprisoning activists that go against
1:02:06
them and i think it's quite telling that these industries are working so hard and
spending so much
1:02:11
money to criminalize people for simply taking a picture for simply recording what's
going on inside of these
1:02:17
facilities and making it known to the public they're behind walls and they're
underground they're in these
1:02:22
secret facilities that no one knows about but if they did they would be shocked and
outraged and i think
1:02:27
people would not want to think that their pharmaceuticals that their food are
coming from these places
1:02:33
and that's why i think it's the ag laws are what they are is because they are
trying to silence
1:02:38
people into not speaking out and not showing the truth i finally realized how deep
the collusion truly is between government
1:02:45
and these industries and how dangerous it could be to expose them these concerns
intensified after meeting
1:02:50
the usda whistleblower who revealed mad cow disease in the u.s meat supply oh usa
operates like the military so
1:02:57
when i got on tv and that right away usda sent out memos to all the veterinarians
and food inspectors if anybody from the media
1:03:03
ever contacts you do not talk to them refer them to washington dc and we will talk
to them so right away
1:03:10
shut up everybody american publisher very very concerned about this what's going on
with usda here in the
1:03:17
united states we have at least four cases of cow disease but i'm almost positive
there's more
1:03:23
cases than that but the government isn't looking for it so what you're saying is
that there could be already mad cows disease in humans
1:03:29
right i think a lot of it was misdiagnosed with the alzheimer's and dementia it
takes several years you see the
1:03:35
progression but to make it easier these doctors just sign off on is dementia
alzheimer's without actually taking a biopsy of the
1:03:42
brain to see if it's that or is it actually a prion disease like khrushchev jakub
disease or male counter
1:03:48
disease do you think it's safe to eat neat i personally don't think it's safe to
eat
1:03:53
it because of the fact how the line speeds are increasing and also our inspectors
are not well trained
1:03:59
enough at the present time the wine speed now is going about 220 cows an hour that
gives you about some ways around
1:04:05
four cows per minute so that's 15 seconds per cow these dangerous
1:04:11
slaughter speeds means that animal waste ends up everywhere testing shows 88 of
pork
1:04:16
chops are contaminated with fecal bacteria 90 of ground beef and 95 of chicken
1:04:22
breast sample contain animal waste bacteria there is nothing clean about eating
this
1:04:27
way but it just isn't waste it's also pus-filled infections you can see there's a
bump or some kind
1:04:33
of abscess underneath the hive most of the time when the height is pulled off
either that
1:04:39
will open up the abscess and the bus will come out or if it's deep seated when
inspectors
1:04:45
are doing their work or the company employees they might stick their knife into an
abscess and it explodes all over the
1:04:51
place i had heard enough i was utterly disgusted by the corruption the greed
1:04:57
the disease and the abuse i was learning about the very animals we were killing
were killing us and the planet
1:05:04
but so many people eat meat and dairy every day of their lives and we are so
concerned about getting enough protein do we have to eat meat to
1:05:11
get complete protein oh my god oh my god you want me to jump off this building
don't you no
1:05:17
well first of all all protein is made by plants i'll state that again
1:05:23
for the record all protein is initially made by plants all of it and it is not
necessary to eat animal
1:05:30
tissue in order to get protein only plants have the ability to actually take
1:05:37
nitrogen from the air break those molecules apart and incorporate that nitrogen
into amino acids and then make protein
1:05:44
any protein you get from an animal is simply recycled plant protein if you ate a
diet that was
1:05:50
calorically adequate and even things like brown rice and broccoli and you got
enough of it you'd get enough both quantity and
1:05:56
quality of protein 2 000 calories of brown rice and broccoli is going to be about
80 grams of protein a day
1:06:01
including the essential amino acids that you need in order to maintain optimum
health i mean grains are loaded with protein beans are
1:06:08
loaded with protein vegetables are loaded with protein you really want to get your
protein from
1:06:14
plants because plant proteins have a much more beneficial effect on our physiology
1:06:20
the funny thing about protein is most americans get about twice the amount they
need most americans get less than half the
1:06:26
amount of fiber they need but the conversation tends to always be about protein so
in my mind it's just this
1:06:31
magical marketing campaign that protein has taken on over the decades the question
is not where to get your
1:06:37
protein it's where do you get your fiber i have never in my professional career
seen a protein deficiency i've never
1:06:43
seen someone come in eating normal amounts of calories and they're protein
deficient you just don't see that so human
1:06:49
milk has the lowest protein content ever in any species ever tested i mean that's
1:06:55
the fluid that's been designed by evolution over millions of years and that's just
like the perfect
1:07:00
food for human babies right perfect food lowest protein content any other mammal
1:07:07
and so it gives a sense of kind of protein requirements for food anything so
1:07:12
then rat milk ate milk donkey milk any milk has ever been tested
1:07:18
and you hear this a lot in bodybuilders they're like well i need you know chicken
or i need fish to be you know to
1:07:23
be strong to build muscle tissue that is utter nonsense the largest
1:07:28
strongest terrestrial animals on the planet are all herbivores the biggest
strongest animals are all herbivores
1:07:35
when we bring in people and they're on meaty diets and we transition them to a
plant-based diet we always track what
1:07:40
they're eating their vitamin intake goes up their nutrition overall goes up
dramatically better and these same
1:07:47
people might worry in advance will i get the nutrition that i need on a plant-based
diet the fact is you're not getting the nutrition you
1:07:53
need on a meat based diet and you're going to get dramatically better nutrition on
a plant-based diet for an average sized guy like myself
1:08:01
i need about 56 grams of protein a day that's optimum probably i really need 30 to
40 grams a day diets are really
1:08:07
high these protein create diabetes create heart disease create cancer and create
the diseases
1:08:13
that i'm treating on a daily basis but this is the opposite of what all the high
protein diet fats say
1:08:18
the food you eat determines the bacteria that live in your gut well you eat animal
flesh every day you
1:08:24
are summoning up bacteria that eat carnitine and those bacteria will turn that
1:08:30
carnitine into a molecule called trimethylamine your liver then turns that into
1:08:35
trimethylamine oxide that's a molecule from hell that molecule drives cholesterol
into the
1:08:41
artery walls and the people who are consuming this flesh-based diet are
contributing to plaque building up
1:08:47
they may lose weight on this diet and that's good but what's happening inside your
arteries paleo
1:08:53
friends what's happening is that black is building up and these are the folks who
dropped dead at the gym at 39.
1:08:58
oh it was lean and it looked really good but where is that cholesterol going it's
going to your artery wolves
1:09:04
so i believe these paleo folks are setting themselves up for an epidemic of clogged
arteries colon cancers
1:09:12
autoimmune diseases this is not a healthy diet we are not carnivorous apes
1:09:17
humans closest living relatives are chimps who get 97 of their calories from plants
and the remaining three percent mostly from
1:09:23
insects comparing the anatomy of true omnivores like bears feed both meat and
plants to frugivores like primates who eat almost
1:09:30
exclusively plants the differences are pretty clear frugivore teeth have flat
molars for chewing plants where omnivore teeth are
1:09:36
serrated for stabbing and tearing flesh frugivore jaws can move forward and back
and side to side
1:09:42
omnivore jaws cannot omnivores have much stronger stomach acid for digesting meat
compared to less acidic stomach acid of
1:09:48
frugivores the intestines of frugivores is nine times their body length compared to
three times for omnivores this is
1:09:54
because meat will putrefy in the gut unless it has moved through quickly if humans
were indeed true omnivores we
1:10:00
would need to change our physiology and appearance quite a lot but we fit every
requirement of a frugivore
1:10:06
we may behave like omnivores but anatomically we're frugivores human beings unlike
bears and raccoons
1:10:13
and to some extent dogs don't have that mixed anatomy and physiology that you see
in the true
1:10:19
omnivores and thus we are not true omnivores in humans the canines have become
1:10:24
really small and rounded and actually function like accessory incisors they're
utterly
1:10:31
useless for ripping and tearing anything other than an envelope so the idea that
the
1:10:36
mere presence of the canine somehow means that we're supposed to eat meat is silly
he was right i always thought
1:10:42
my canines were for meat but what kind of animal could i actually kill and eat raw
with these tiny teeth
1:10:47
the thought alone was disgusting i mean everybody loves a smoothie made with fruit
and even some vegetables but if you
1:10:55
think about putting a fish or piece of beet in a blender and grinding it up
1:11:00
the thought is absolutely repulsive all these diseases i had learned about were
from eating a diet our body wasn't
1:11:06
designed for what would happen if we started eating a diet our body actually was
designed for the data is crystal clear that you can
1:11:13
stop and reverse heart disease with plant-based diets scientifically shown i've
seen in my own
1:11:19
patients people who adopt low-fat plant-based diets can actually reverse their
heart disease and that
1:11:24
literally means watching the plaque start to go away something they didn't think
could happen my experience with patiences and those
1:11:31
studies show that when people adopt a fully plant-based diet their cholesterol
levels plummet within a few days
1:11:36
and if you do blood tests in a couple of weeks you'll see dramatic improvements yes
your numbers are going to look great
1:11:41
within a week or two your cholesterol can come crashing down in fact if you're on
medications your doctor may have to pull off your blood pressure medication
1:11:48
so your blood pressure don't drop too low because it can work too good like that
the side effect is not having to take
1:11:54
drugs in a groundbreaking study published by dr esselstyn following patients
suffering from cardiovascular disease
1:12:01
99.4 were able to avoid major cardiac events by going plant-based
1:12:06
because it's not just heart disease it's hypertension it's diabetes it's strokes
it's heart attacks several
1:12:12
of the autoimmune diseases lupus asthma gerd osteoporosis i mean there's a
multitude
1:12:20
of diseases even rheumatoid arthritis it can be so dramatic when you see these poor
souls with just
1:12:26
absolute crippled with rheumatoid arthritis go plant-based then they come up come
off their medication i wanted to follow up with
1:12:33
jane chapman who had been suffering from severe osteoarthritis and i could not
believe what i saw after only a few weeks of
1:12:40
fasting and changing your diet so those are so amazing
1:12:45
i know from going from the walker needing wheelchair assistance at the
1:12:51
airport to strolling down the street enjoying the fresh air the sunshine
1:12:59
two weeks it's all it took two weeks to get off all the meds and start to to feel
the inflammation
1:13:06
just kind of drain out of the body where the movement was much easier
1:13:12
just a lot of healing occurred very very rapidly just by doing the right things for
your body
1:13:18
when you're treating diseases with drugs you know there's one drug you take for
cholesterol a
1:13:23
different class of drugs you take for high blood pressure different class of drugs
you take for diabetes but with diet a plant-based
1:13:30
diet affects all these diseases one diet to kind of rule them all the impacts of
eating this way go far
1:13:36
beyond ourselves by getting rid of heart disease alone we would save up to 48
trillion dollars in usa
1:13:42
three times the us gdp conditions like high blood pressure you don't have to take
the drugs the
1:13:48
rest of your life and be sick forever what you can do is live in such a way that it
gives the body a chance to heal
1:13:53
itself we took 174 consecutive patients with high blood pressure and 174 people
were able to lower their
1:14:00
blood pressure enough to eliminate the need for medication for uh inflammatory
bowel disease like crohn's the best remission rates
1:14:06
ever achieved through plant-based diet ms multiple sclerosis the best results ever
achieved compared
1:14:13
to any medical surgical any kind of intervention was a plant-based diet you can see
that with every sequential
1:14:19
reduction in animal products people live longer they have less heart disease they
have less cancer they have
1:14:24
less diabetes you can actually take human cancer cells you put them in a petri dish
you can drip the blood of those eating
1:14:29
vegan get about 72 suppression in human prostate cancer cell growth in vitro they
wanted to try
1:14:36
this again with women and breast cancer they said let's see what a plant-based diet
can do after just two weeks their bodies cleaned up
1:14:43
you drop their blood on the same carpet of cancer cells you can clear off the whole
plate this
1:14:48
is after just two weeks eating healthy which raises the question you know what kind
of blood do we want in our bodies my background is
1:14:54
in industrial and systems engineering and that was my career path for a long time
until i had thyroid
1:15:02
cancer and everything changed from there i decided that i wanted to
1:15:10
try alternative methods and treatments rather than have surgery and have my thyroid
removed which meant
1:15:16
i'd be on medication forever and i didn't want that i just started reading how a
plant-based diet
1:15:21
can heal the body and it has worked for so many people so i immediately just
switched to a
1:15:28
completely whole food plant-based diet after a year the cancer was completely gone
and my
1:15:35
thyroid had shrunk to normal size and i was completely free of that this
1:15:40
was tough to believe couldn't this all just be from eating healthier though like no
sugar turns out dr walter kempner from duke
1:15:47
university back in the 1940s was reversing some of our worst killer diseases with
diet alone and the diet he was using was not
1:15:54
only strictly plant-based but it was made up of white rice fruit and table sugar
and he
1:15:59
was reversing diabetes he was reversing malignant hypertension reversing heart
disease the diabetic
1:16:06
complications reversing diabetic blindness so these people basically had death
sentences went to him and were
1:16:12
given basically sugar you know this horrible diet but it was strictly plant-based
if this information
1:16:20
had been around since the 1940s why don't all doctors know this we're not taught
about the power of food
1:16:26
in medical school no one is taught that the changes that we make with our
1:16:31
diet are probably the single most powerful thing we can do to determine our destiny
it trumps our genetics why isn't your
1:16:38
doctor telling this odds are your doctor never learned any of this in fact there's
even a bill introduced it's just mandating
1:16:44
physicians get seven hours nutrition training every couple years just kind of stay
on top of it and who
1:16:50
came out against that the california medical association even the family physicians
the surgeons
1:16:56
all the mainstream medical groups came out opposed it's seven hours that's that's a
lot
1:17:01
even if it's over one four year period so they're not just kind of neutral but
they're actually actively opposing
1:17:08
nutrition education ironically when patients come to doctors with questions they
assume that the doctor knows something about nutrition and so
1:17:14
it's kind of a double whammy that doctors haven't been taught much about nutrition
why don't we hear about this from dietitians when nutrition is their
1:17:21
entire specialty turns out the american nutrition and dietetics association puts
out nutrition fact sheets written by the industries
1:17:27
themselves the industries pay 20 000 per fact sheet and explicitly take part in
writing them
1:17:32
so you can learn about eggs from the egg industry you can learn about lamb from the
lamb industry this would be like learning about the
1:17:38
benefits of smoking from the tobacco industry when people are eating meat i think
of it as a bit like smoking
1:17:44
it's sort of russian roulette you may not get diabetes but your chances of getting
diabetes
1:17:50
about one in three you may not get cancer but your chances if you're a man about
one and two a woman one in three your chances of
1:17:56
gaining weight two out of three it's not all diet but most of it is the best thing
that you can do to make sure
1:18:02
that you empty all those bullets out of the chamber and taking risks to your health
is to get
1:18:08
the animal products out of your diet eating healthy foods he came to true north to
help me with my
1:18:13
asthma and to lose a little weight and it's amazing just in two weeks changing my
diet
1:18:19
don't have to take any asthma medication no antidepressants no pain medication
1:18:26
no heart medication nothing no medications at all and it's really it's just
incredible i
1:18:34
was taking oxy and advil and i was taking 800 milligrams of motrin three times a
day
1:18:40
just to get through the day because i was in so much pain and now nothing nothing
at all two weeks
1:18:47
two weeks fourteen days all that medication are completely off completely off
everything it's just been
1:18:53
so frustrating to me because i went to so many different doctors for help
1:18:58
and i tried so many different medications to help me with my asthma and nothing
helped and i was stuck on
1:19:04
the couch for the last 10 months unable to breathe and
1:19:11
now in two weeks time 14 days i'm off my medication and i can breathe and i feel
good and i
1:19:18
can walk my life has changed and it only took two weeks of a whole plant-based diet
1:19:24
that's incredible yeah that is incredible it really is that's amazing it really is
1:19:31
i feel so blessed and so good and just so happy to be doing this and
1:19:38
i'm hoping that i can be a role model for other people and not be pushy about it
because everyone's
1:19:45
going to do it in their own time but thank god my time is not
1:19:54
thanks as powerful as amy's story was i knew
1:20:01
for some eating a hundred percent plant-based would still seem extreme i think
there's this sense
1:20:06
that everything's okay in moderation right but we haven't seen
1:20:12
that moderation works there really isn't a study that shows that by eating meat and
eggs in moderation you can actually
1:20:19
turn your heart disease around and get better but i know people who've gave up meat
and they felt sick
1:20:24
yeah it's it's unlikely that anybody's symptoms are caused by a dead decaying flesh
deficiency that
1:20:30
the lack of highly processed animal food products in the diet is not going to be
associated with the causal factor about
1:20:36
why they're they're sick there is going to be a reason why they're not feeling well
but that's not going to be one of them so i've had people go vegan and they
1:20:42
come back to me and they're like i'm hypothyroid and my doctor says i'm hypothyroid
because a plant-based diet makes you
1:20:48
hypothyroid i'm like so what does your doctor tell all his meat-eaters that are
hypothyroid
1:20:54
what's an animal flesh or dairy that you can't get in plant-based cholesterol
heterocyclic amines
1:21:02
e coli you know if you think about it uh there is nothing in an animal-based diet
that you can't
1:21:08
get in healthier form somewhere else the only other vitamin is vitamin b-12 it's
not made by plants
1:21:14
not made by animals either made by little microbes that blanket the earth so
because the way we live in our sanitized
1:21:20
world unless you're eating bacteria contaminated foods we need to get a source of
b12 from somewhere
1:21:25
so the healthiest cheapest safest source is to get a vitamin b12 fortified food or
vitamin b12 supplement
1:21:32
not to get it from meat and dairy what about people who say they have to eat meat
for their blood type or their genes it's just like it's like
1:21:40
i need me because i'm a capricorn i need me because i have an a plus blood i mean
it's like what do you say no one
1:21:45
has to eat meat i mean there's no vitamin mineral nutrient that you can't get from
non-animal sources
1:21:52
valentine's day i decided to go vegan and give up all meat which was
1:21:57
never in my thoughts in a while million years but i've heard so much success from
people
1:22:02
that are vegan and so we i gave up all animal products whatsoever i've lost
1:22:08
29 pounds i've been able to cut my meds in half i've been able to cut my insulin in
half
1:22:14
and now i'm going for the moon i'm gonna cut it all out in the last six weeks we've
just had
1:22:20
three grandchildren and my ugly face is gonna be around to see him graduate from
high school and
1:22:25
college i'm going to be here my mission is to let everybody know you do not have to
suffer
1:22:30
from diabetes and cancer and heart disease because someone in your family had it or
because the doctors are
1:22:36
telling you this is what's going to happen you can take charge of your health and
have a positive outcome just like i
1:22:42
did the reason i'm so committed to this is you know my grandmother had diabetes
1:22:48
and i didn't know what i know now about healing the body and if i did i feel
1:22:54
like she could have lived at least a few years longer and so it's in her honor that
i do what i do
1:23:03
because i can save someone else's grandmother aunt uncle father from that you know
1:23:10
so so i'm excited about about getting the
1:23:16
message out there there's a common belief that eating plant-based is expensive not
at all it can be done in a very
1:23:24
inexpensive way where you buy foods that are in season and you shop in the bulk
bins
1:23:30
and that saves a lot of money you can eliminate a lot of your expenses on your
grocery bill by not
1:23:36
buying meat and dairy because those things are expensive our meal plan for a family
of four is 25
1:23:43
dollars per person in the family 2064 2064.
1:23:49
whoa that's for an entire week of food an exploding movement of elite athletes
1:23:54
are utilizing vegan diets to heal injuries speed recovery times and enhance their
performance
1:23:59
before i was vegan i was only bench pressing 315 like five times then after going
vegan i was doing 400
1:24:07
for 25 for 65 and i was like oh my god this is amazing i'm vegan and i'm bench
pressing 465
1:24:14
pounds this is ridiculous and as soon as i went vegan tendinitis started
disappearing my strength and my right arm started
1:24:20
coming back high blood pressure was going down you can't be strong and be dying on
the
1:24:26
inside that's not strong that's weak that's really weak because you look big and
strong on the outside
1:24:32
yeah big man no but your heart's crying for help on the inside you're dying i'm a
professional poker athlete a
1:24:39
two-time world-fueling champion and more recently i got into ninja warrior where
i'm captain of team europe as we won
1:24:45
usa versus the world for something like ninja warrior and parkour specifically you
really need to have a good strength
1:24:51
to body weight ratio so i was carrying mass that i really didn't need and when i
went vegan you know i lost 15 20 pounds i was more agile i was more
1:24:57
efficient more stamina in my body just that extra bit of pop that i didn't have
before it just gave me that extra strength
1:25:03
this is a very vibrant way to live it can enhance you as an athlete for me 100
better athlete than i was before to
1:25:10
unlock a whole new chapter of my training the science is there the health is there
the athletes are there proving that you don't need to
1:25:16
eat dead animals to be strong to be healthy i started working out when i was 47
years old all the muscles you see
1:25:23
i gained as vegan i gained 15 pounds of muscles on my body eating all plant-based
vegan foods all
1:25:30
the aches and pains in my body it just went away because i'm not ingesting so many
1:25:36
inflaming foods the acidic foods that animal products are gorillas rhinos and
elephants they all
1:25:42
get their muscles and strength from eating plants that's what i do i travel all
around the
1:25:47
world for my surfing and i've always been able to eat vegan i feel like if you want
something you
1:25:54
can make it happen i just don't make any excuses i would never not be vegan now
that i know all the benefits and now that i know how
1:26:01
it feels to be vegan every aspect of my life has been improved by adopting this
lifestyle
1:26:07
i feel better i perform better athletically i sleep better my energy with my kids
is better my
1:26:13
focus at work is better everything is better my skin cleared up kept myself trimmed
for nine years now
1:26:19
doing this all i can tell you is that i felt and i continued to feel
1:26:24
better than i ever felt before my friend jason lesnar and i were the first people
to do this challenge called epic five
1:26:31
which entailed doing five iron mans on five hawaiian islands in under a week an
ironman is a 2.4 mile
1:26:38
swim followed by a 112 mile bike and then running a marathon 26.2 miles
1:26:43
after that so we did five of those in a row on five different islands and a little
under a week
1:26:49
yeah girls die yeah did you die so i guess the famous question where'd you get your
protein in there
1:26:56
from plants like so many people i was looking for excuses not to change my
1:27:02
diet but once i finally did i felt liberated within days i could feel the blood
running through my veins with a new
1:27:08
vitality within weeks i felt a transformation throughout my entire body and mind
1:27:13
not only could i survive on a purely plant-based vegan diet i could thrive i felt
amazing
1:27:19
i competed in my first marathon in six years training half the amount and beat my
personal record by
1:27:24
23 minutes less than a month later i did my first full ironman although i could
possibly get away with
1:27:30
eating a little bit of meat and dairy without ill effects to my personal health i
could no longer willingly support an
1:27:36
industry i knew was causing so much suffering to communities families and all life
on the planet a
1:27:42
whole new world opened up i felt whole again connected to a greater sense of what
true health is
1:27:47
and where true health doesn't end with me but begins with us if people adopted a
plant-based
1:27:55
diet the changes we would see in our individual health in our national
1:28:01
health situation and in this physical environmental world we live in would be so
profound i mean today you
1:28:10
you can say i'm not going to eat that stuff anymore it's one thing that i can do
myself personally to make a
1:28:17
difference it will give you a greater sense of well-being and happiness when you
know that one
1:28:22
you're not destroying your health every time you sit down to eat you're not
promoting cruelty and you're not damaging the
1:28:27
earth i don't want my gains to be at the detriment of the planet of other things
and yet i'm not weaker i'm stronger
1:28:33
that's the beauty of it when you're altruistic when you make choices for the
greater good of others it comes around benefits me as well it benefits us all
1:28:39
studies show that we can not only survive but we can thrive i just feel this is a
great way
1:28:45
to live not harming other beings when we can be healthy and happier i love it it's
a great life i never
1:28:53
thought that i could feel this good at this age and i just want everybody to feel
this way
1:28:58
i feel like a 20 year old i'm almost 50. nothing tastes as good as healthy feels
1:29:04
basically and so the choices that we make every single day day in and day out
around our food
1:29:09
has the capacity to bring us true health and optimal wellness not just individually
but collectively
1:29:16
as a species and for our planet we're not going to live forever but while we are
alive we can live well
1:29:23
and for me as a doctor that's what i want to see where there's a will there is a
way
1:29:29
and i believe that
