0:28worldwide we're looking at approximately
0:31350 million people with diabetes there's
0:34no question that we're in the midst of a
0:36diabetes epidemic right now one in3
0:40Medicare dollars is spent in the care of
0:43people with diabetes one in 10 Total
0:46Healthcare dollars is spent on people
0:49with diabetes there's no question that
0:51this is a major problem and what in
0:54particular is the correlation with the
0:56diet and
0:57diabetes I'm I'm not going to get into
0:59that into diet
1:02[Music]
1:23no my name is Kip I'm a filmmaker from
1:26San Francisco and have a confession to
1:27make I'm a recovering hypochondriac like
1:30so many of us I have a family history of
1:32diabetes heart disease and cancer my dad
1:35had his first heart bypass at 49 his
1:37second at age 50 my Grandpa died young
1:39from diabetes complications and both my
1:42other grandpa and grandma died of cancer
1:44I was always paranoid that I would also
1:46get one of these diseases like any good
1:48hypochondriac WebMD symptoms checker was
1:51essentially my browser's homepage even
1:53in my teens I took Metamucil every day
1:55and a daily aspirin I read all the
1:57latest self- diagnosis books I ate every
1:59multiv vitamin I could get my hands on
2:01and I was obsessed with bodily functions
2:03I followed all the large health
2:05organizations recommendations for
2:06preventing disease I exercise regularly
2:09don't smoke don't drink soda get enough
2:11sleep reduce stress and grw up eating
2:13what I thought was a healthy diet until
2:16World Health Organization this morning
2:18has classified processed meat such as
2:20bacon and sausage as carcinogenic
2:23directly involved in causing cancer in
2:25humans processed meat is clearly linked
2:29to an increase cancer hot dogs or bacon
2:31could be just as dangerous as smoking
2:33cigarettes the World Health Organization
2:35had looked at over 800 studies from 10
2:38different countries finding a direct
2:40link to consuming processed meat and
2:42cancer just one serving of deli meats
2:45daily increases your risks of coloral
2:47cancer by
2:4918% I had no idea that what we ate
2:51affected cancer rates but I never felt
2:54like I had eaten a lot of processed
2:55Meats until I realized that processed
2:57meat includes hot dogs bacon SAU salami
3:00ham pepperoni cold cuts and Deli slices
3:03basically everything I grew up eating
3:05the World Health Organization classifies
3:07process meet as a group one carcinogen
3:10the same group as cigarettes Asbestos
3:13and plutonium and classifies red meat as
3:16a group two carcinogen was this like I
3:18had essentially been smoking my entire
3:21childhood if processed meats are labeled
3:24the same as cigarettes how is it even
3:26legal for kids to be eating this way I
3:29thought this was new information but
3:31many of these studies had been around
3:32for 50 years I couldn't believe I'd been
3:36eating processed Meats virtually my
3:38entire life and was just now finding out
3:41how dangerous they are why hadn't I been
3:43hearing about it from the American
3:45Cancer Society the largest cancer group
3:47in the nation when I went on their
3:49website I was shocked to see that none
3:51of this information was featured on
3:52their homepage but even more shocking on
3:55their eat healthy page they actually
3:58encouraged eating group one one
3:59carcinogenic foods like processed turkey
4:01and canned Meats this is after the World
4:04Health Organization reviewed over 800
4:06studies definitively linking processed
4:09meat to cancer thank you for calling
4:10your American Cancer Society my name is
4:13Sam I'm a cancer Information Specialist
4:15how going help you to that hi I was
4:16calling because I was wondering why you
4:18all recommend people to eat processed
4:20meat on your website which the World
4:22Health Organization is classified as a
4:24group one carcinogen which is in the
4:27same class as tobacco smoking Asbestos
4:30and
4:32plutonium this would be like a Lung
4:34Association having a how to roll your
4:36own cigarette section on their website
4:39it's kind of the same
4:40thing but let me just place you on a
4:43brief hold because um he wasn't able to
4:45answer my questions and said someone
4:47would get back with me I had always been
4:50concerned about cancer because both my
4:51Grandma and Grandpa died of cancer I
4:54wondered if things would have been
4:55different had they known the link
4:56between diet and this terrible disease
4:59in the US one out of every four deaths
5:01is from
5:03cancer oh sweet American Cancer Society
5:06rep confirmed an interview this
5:09week so we just went in for the
5:11interview with the American Cancer
5:13Society rep and the security guard said
5:15there's no interview scheduled so I went
5:17into my phone and it turns out last
5:19night after I told her that the
5:21interview is going to be about the
5:22correlation between Diet in cancer she
5:25said she could no longer do the
5:28interview after repeated emails asking
5:31why she was declining my interview to
5:33Simply talk about diet and cancer she
5:36stopped responding all together why
5:38would an American Cancer Society rep not
5:41want to talk about this I was however
5:44able to connect with a growing movement
5:45of doctors who are willing to talk about
5:47the link between the standard American
5:48diet and disease and it goes beyond just
5:51cancer I took my old trusty van super
5:53blue once again out on the road 2third
5:56of adults are now overweight to obese
5:58and we have an epidemic mic Cascade of
6:00debilitating disease that's overcoming
6:02the country there's no way we can
6:04sustain the current style of care with
6:06the epidemic that we're creating with
6:09our diet and lifestyle choices the
6:11diabetes the arthritis the heart disease
6:13the dementia the Obesity the cancers are
6:17affecting about 70% of deaths all the
6:19data is that those 70% of deaths and
6:22morbidity are largely lifestyle related
6:24and preventable most kids by age 10 in
6:28the US already have fatty streaks in
6:30their arteries the first stage of
6:31atherosclerosis leading to heart attacks
6:34Strokes here in American Medicine we
6:36operate from the disease model we are in
6:40the business of treating sick people we
6:42are not in the business of trying to
6:44prevent people from becoming sick when
6:46you look at chronic disease risk all the
6:48things that we walk around worrying
6:49about actually dietary choices Trump
6:52smoking when it comes to those risks if
6:55I could deliver one message to the
6:57researchers who are looking for the
6:58cause of of diabetes and the cause of
7:01clogged arteries and the cause of high
7:03blood pressure and the cause of obesity
7:05I would tell them the answers in three
7:07words it's the food it's what what
7:10Americans are eating today with 2third
7:12of Americans being overweight clearly
7:14there's a food issue in the next 25
7:17years one out of every three Americans
7:19will have
7:21diabetes my name is Michael abdala I'm
7:23from Atlanta Georgia and unfortunately I
7:27was diagnosed about 10 years ago with
7:28diabetes
7:30and 8 years ago I had two stance put in
7:33I don't know where to go I don't know
7:35what to do you just like out of options
7:37and you don't know what to do you're
7:38taking medicine you're listening to this
7:40doctor and the cardiologist says take
7:42this and the and the endocrinologist
7:45says take that then your general
7:47practitioner doctor says you don't know
7:48what's going on here and it's a it's a
7:51real it's a real challenging thing and
7:53it's something
7:54that you don't want to get it you just
7:57don't want to get it government in media
8:00almost exclusively blame lack of
8:01exercise in sugary Foods as a cause of
8:04diabetes but I wanted to talk with an
8:06actual expert on the role of diet and
8:07diabetes I went to speak with Premier
8:09physician diabetes expert and researcher
8:12Dr Neil Barnard what role does sugar
8:14play in causing
8:16diabetes drives me crazy diabetes is not
8:19and never was caused by eating a high
8:22carbohydrate diet and it's not caused by
8:24eating sugar the cause of diabetes is a
8:27diet that builds up the amount of fat in
8:29into the blood I'm talking about a
8:30typical meat-based animal-based diet you
8:33can look into the muscle cells of the
8:35human body and you find that they're
8:36building up tiny particles of fat that's
8:38causing insulin resistance what that
8:40means is the sugar that is naturally
8:43from the foods that you're eating can't
8:45get into the cells where it belongs it
8:46builds up in the blood and that's
8:48diabetes I had never heard that meat was
8:50associated with causing diabetes we had
8:52always been told that Sugar obesity
8:54caused it renowned weight loss bariatric
8:56surgeon Dr G Davis though agreed
8:58everyone thinks that they get diabetic
8:59because of carbs they did a huge study
9:01in that epic study 500,000 people carbs
9:04consumption was inversely related with
9:06diabetes in other words the more carbs
9:08someone ate the less diabetes they had
9:10but meat was strongly correlated get
9:12that aha moment the starches the carbs
9:14are good for you they're not bad for you
9:17this idea that carbs make you fat is
9:19utterly ridiculous carbs cannot make you
9:22fat in and of themselves we have storage
9:25in our muscles and in our liver for
9:27carbs called glycogen so when we eat car
9:29carbs we either store it or we burn it
9:31now eat fat that goes straight to your
9:33fat your body can't turn those carbs
9:35into fat unless you're really overdoing
9:38the calories now Bally it's a death
9:40sentence you're at much higher risk of
9:42getting cancer you're almost certainly
9:43going to get diabetes I mean no one
9:45wants the fat shame and we all want
9:46everybody to be comfortable with our
9:47bodies but this movement to be
9:48comfortable with our bodies has made us
9:50comfortable with being sick and that's a
9:52huge problem I go into the hospital and
9:54I look around me people on dialysis all
9:56these sick people and just about every
9:58disease in there is because of what
9:59people are eating here's the thing if I
10:01eat a sugary cookie the sugar lures you
10:04in like the Trojan Horse but waiting
10:07inside that cookie is a huge load of
10:09butter or shortening and that's what
10:11fattens you up and that's the part that
10:12leads to the diabetes it's the fatty
10:14foods not really so much the sugar it's
10:16not that sugar is good for you there's
10:17no nutrients in it it's excess calories
10:20but when you eat sugar you don't get
10:21inflammation right away when you eat
10:23sugar you're not getting plaques forming
10:25in your vessels when you're eating sugar
10:27your body's going to store most of it as
10:29glycogen or burn it as calories and so
10:32this focus on sugar has taken all the
10:34focus off meat Dairy eggs pork turkey
10:39chicken people need to understand you
10:41know if their child gets diabetes you've
10:44just taken 19 years off their lifespan
10:46we're talking life and death I realized
10:49there was so much more about diet and
10:51disease that I hadn't ever learned it
10:53felt as if this information had been
10:54practically withheld processed meat
10:56causes cancer sugar doesn't cause cause
10:59diabetes I had doubt about the claims
11:01these doctors are making so I did some
11:03searching on my own Harvard researchers
11:05looked at nine perspective studies
11:07finding that just one serving of
11:08processed meat per day increased risk of
11:10developing Diabetes by
11:1251% the link between eating meat and
11:15developing diabetes became undeniable
11:18but when I went on the leading diabetes
11:19organization's website the American
11:21Diabetes Association not only did they
11:23not have this information front and
11:25center they were featuring recipes for
11:27red and processed meat and on their
11:30recipes for healthy living they had
11:32bacon wrapped shrimp what the health all
11:36right send an email to American Diabetes
11:38Association see if they'll go back to us
11:40as destructive as diabetes is it pales
11:42in comparison to heart disease over 17
11:45million people die every year from
11:47cardiovascular disease it is the leading
11:49cause of death around the world nearly
11:52one out of every three people will die
11:54from this disease the amount of people
11:56who die from cardiovascular disease is
11:58is the equivalent of four jumbo jets
12:01crashing every single hour every single
12:04day every single
12:09year my name is Amy Resnik and I'm from
12:12Swamp Scott Massachusetts a little bit
12:14north of Boston and I recently went to
12:18my doctor for asthma because I had a
12:20very hard time breathing and while there
12:23she did some blood work and um one of
12:27the tests was um see reactive protein
12:30and on scale from there was a scale of 1
12:33to three one being low for cardiac event
12:36three being high for cardiac event and
12:38my number was
12:4010.82 what does that mean that means I
12:43am on the road for a heart attack and
12:45she said probably within the next 30
12:47days 30 days 30 days if I'm going the
12:51way I was going I take um this for my
12:55heart arhythmia um take this for pain
12:59uh oxycodone for pain and laasa Pam for
13:04stress uh cyc benser pain for our muscle
13:07relaxer also take topax and proac and I
13:11also use a cat machine to help me
13:13breathe and my asthma has been so bad um
13:16this past year I use it during the day
13:19as well um to get some air I am tired
13:24when I wake up I'm tired during the day
13:26I take a nap I'm still tired I can't
13:29breathe um and I know I need to make a
13:33change for my health or else I'm not
13:37going to be here for my
13:39family when we speak of heart disease I
13:42would say the role of alcohol is pretty
13:44small the role of sugar is very small
13:47too smoking is big but the good news is
13:50that most people have quit or or never
13:51did smoke the problem with animal-based
13:53diet its contribution to heart disease
13:55is huge and it is pervasive all this
13:58expensive
13:59Imaging
14:01procedures
14:03bypasses
14:04medication none of which has one
14:08solitary single thing to do with the
14:11causation of the illet so you die have a
14:13completely benign foodborn illness that
14:15never had its cation treated when we eat
14:18these kind of dead meat bacteria toxins
14:21within minutes you get this burst of
14:24inflammation within your system such
14:25that you basically paralyze your
14:27arteries you get this stiffening
14:28arteries their inability to relax
14:31normally in half so it's not like
14:33decades down the road eating unhealthy
14:35there'll be some damage no we're talking
14:36damage right then and there within
14:38minutes of it going into our mouth many
14:40people are given the diagnosis of
14:43Alzheimer's disease when it's not true
14:46Alzheimer's at all the vast majority of
14:48people suffer dementia due to their tiny
14:50blood vessels and their brain clogging
14:52up and their nerve cells being short
14:55Change of oxygenated blood and guess
14:56where that blood vessel venure comes
14:58from those little tiny arteries are
15:00clogging up from that steady stream of
15:02fat cholesterol Etc it's really quite
15:04clear from the standpoint of cancer and
15:06the standpoint of cardiovascular disease
15:08that animal protein plays an enormous
15:10role is chicken
15:12better it's a question whether you want
15:14to be shot or hung the flesh food that I
15:17would eliminate from the American diet
15:19would be poultry would be turkey and
15:21chicken a brilliant advertising
15:23campaigns convinced people that oh it's
15:25white meat it's healthier the leading
15:28source of sodium in the American diet
15:31for adult is chicken it can be labeled
15:34all natural chicken but be injected with
15:36the salt water I up to 800 milligrams of
15:38sodium heterocyclic amines are clear-cut
15:40carcinogens and they can form in any
15:43kind of meat as it's heated as it's
15:45cooked but by far the biggest source is
15:48chicken we sent researchers into fast
15:51food and family restaurants not only
15:53were there carcinogens in every single
15:55restaurant but we found them in every
15:57single chicken sample that we took if
16:00somebody brings their family in and
16:01they're buying a bucket of chicken
16:03nobody tells them that there are
16:04carcinogens if you're selling
16:06carcinogens to people you've got to warn
16:08them that they're in there but the
16:10American Cancer Society encourages
16:11people to switch from red and process
16:13meat to chicken why would the American
16:15Cancer Society tell people to switch
16:17from eating one carcinogenic food to
16:18another when a Harvard University study
16:20showed that men with prostate cancer who
16:22eat large amounts of chicken increase
16:24their risk of the disease progressing
16:26four times the number one dietary Source
16:28in America of cholesterol is chicken
16:30because of the volume of chicken you
16:32know chickens become grilled chicken and
16:34organic chicken it's it's machismo but
16:37it has nearly as much cholesterol per
16:39gram as red beef so just un sure volume
16:41it's the number one source yeah eggs
16:43being close behind I had never really
16:45thought about eggs much I just thought
16:46of them as a standard part of a healthy
16:48diet but then I found a study suggesting
16:51that eating just one egg a day can be as
16:53bad as smoking five cigarettes per day
16:55for life expectancy the Yoke of a hen is
16:59the most concentrated glom of saturated
17:02fat and cholesterol it is made to run a
17:04baby chicken for 21 days with no outside
17:07energy it is pure fat and cholesterol
17:09and when we put that into our
17:11bloodstream It Coats our red blood cells
17:13our blood gets thicker and more viscous
17:15it changes our hormone levels it raises
17:17our cholesterol levels there's nothing
17:19healthy about eating the Yol of the egg
17:21but I thought cholesterol and saturated
17:23fat wasn't an issue anymore you know
17:25these saturated fat studies that have
17:27come out trying to V IND at saturated
17:29fat this is a campaign by the dairy
17:30industry right number one source of
17:32saturated fat is dairy it's not meat
17:352008 the global dairy industry got
17:36together at a meeting and explicitly you
17:38read their agenda was to neutralize the
17:41negative impact of milk fat by
17:43regulators and medal professionals
17:45unquote so what did they do they funded
17:47studies the main study that started the
17:49whole saturated fat media craze was
17:51funded by the national Dairy Council the
17:53egg industry similarly funds studies
17:55that confuse consumers by making claims
17:57that eggs don't negative ly affect heart
17:59function that is only when compared to
18:01eating a McDonald's sausage McMuffin so
18:04what they're really saying is that
18:05eating eggs is just as bad as eating a
18:07McMuffin when you eat foods like beef or
18:11steak or a processed meat a hot dog
18:13you're not just getting saturated fat
18:14you're also getting other additional
18:16toxins that are in that food there's
18:18heem iron carcinogens processing
18:20chemicals this is all a lot more
18:22complicated than just looking at
18:23saturated fat you know the strategy is
18:26not on making their products any safe ER
18:29the strategy is to just try to confuse
18:31the public to introduce doubt you know
18:33there's a famous tobacco industry memo
18:35it's called doubt is our product that's
18:38all they had to do they didn't have to
18:39convince Americans that smoking was
18:41healthy right they just had to introduce
18:44doubt then they would win if there's
18:46just enough controversy people kind of
18:48throw up their hands I don't know what
18:50to eat confusion is their game I really
18:54don't think people thought what they ate
18:56led to heart disease they think oh it's
18:58just genetic my parents had it and I
18:59don't think people really think that
19:01what they ate led to diabetes I think oh
19:03my parents had it I was going to get it
19:04and certainly cancer they don't think
19:06that way people have bad Lifestyles that
19:08they've inherited environmentally
19:10they've been exposed to a certain way of
19:11eating and living that they've carried
19:13on into their adulthood passed on to
19:15their children that is why they go on to
19:18develop the same diseases that their
19:20parents and grandparents may have had
19:22before them but it is not inevitable
19:24even if you have a genetic
19:25predisposition doesn't mean it's going
19:27to necessarily matter manest and what
19:29determines whether it manifests or not
19:30maybe those epigenetic variables the
19:32things that you can control the
19:33environmental factors the dietary
19:35factors the lifestyle factors and we can
19:37actually change the expression of genes
19:39tumor suppressing genes tumor activating
19:41genes by what we eat what we put into
19:44our body so you know even if you've been
19:47dealt a bad genetic deck you can still
19:50reshuffle it with diet I had always
19:53thought that I would develop heart
19:54disease at a young age because both my
19:56dad and grandpa had heart attacks I was
19:58taught that they were genetic but the
19:59heart attacks probably had less to do
20:01with genes and more to do with their
20:02diets high in meat that's why when I
20:04went on the American heart association's
20:06heart healthy recipes page I could not
20:09believe they had an entire section on
20:11beef recipes this was just like the
20:13American Cancer Society encouraging
20:15eating group one carcinogens on their
20:17site meatloaf pork loin steak on your
20:22recipe list are you kidding me it's like
20:25this menu is trying to give people heart
20:26attacks your website we notice heart
20:28healthy recipes and we're uh kind of
20:31bewildered by why there's a bunch of
20:34recipes on a whole section on beef beef
20:38recipes and there's also a section on
20:40egg recipes when there's such a strong
20:42link between beef red meat and heart
20:47disease I I I honestly don't know
20:50because I don't do that I guess that's
20:51not what I do another organization rep
20:54that wasn't able to answer my questions
20:56but he said that he'd have someone get
20:57in touch shortly I was however able to
21:00talk to the president of the American
21:02College of Cardiology Dr Kim Williams so
21:05the American College of Cardiology is a
21:0747,000 member and growing uh
21:10organization with a dedicated mission to
21:12reduce heart disease and to improve
21:15patients lives and if you look at the
21:17incidence of hypertension and diabetes
21:19uh and mortality in men they they
21:22actually get reduced as you uh go higher
21:24and higher in terms of how much you
21:26restrict animal products what about fish
21:29so fish is a little different you've got
21:31the four worries which is
21:34pcbs mercury um saturated fat and
21:39cholesterol and the cholesterol is all
21:41over the place you can hit tuna in water
21:44that'll be almost less than a glass of
21:47milk to Salmon or tilapia Which is
21:51higher than a pork chop if you look
21:53objectively at fish what you find is
21:55they've become essentially Mercury
21:57sponges and that's why in many parts of
21:59the country they warn you you know don't
22:00have more than so many of these fish a
22:02week because it's getting too much
22:03mercury can kill you fish are eaten by
22:06bigger fish who eaten by bigger fish and
22:08these pesticides and herbicides
22:10bioaccumulate in the fish flesh and
22:12these big fish including the salmon
22:14which people think is the healthiest
22:15fish truth is the amount of pesticides
22:17and herbicides In the Flesh of these
22:19fish are shocking and they have
22:21estrogenic and cancer promoting
22:23properties in them they'll say well but
22:25don't sardines have less concentration
22:28of toxic waste product than other ones
22:30something being less toxic doesn't make
22:33it healthy it just makes it less toxic
22:35farmed fish is by no means healthier all
22:39the antibiotics that these animals have
22:41to be fed similar to chickens and
22:42turkeys kept in confin these fish get
22:45infections they get fungal infections
22:47they get bacterial infections you've got
22:48to feed them antifungals antibiotics and
22:51these subst accumulate in the fish flesh
22:53as well I always knew that pollution was
22:55bad for our health but I never thought
22:57about the Environmental bluten affecting
22:58food dioxins being the most toxic
23:01man-made chemicals known the science
23:03cause all sorts of things they cause
23:05endometriosis they cause cancers they
23:07cause endocrine disruption problems most
23:09of your exposure 93% of it comes from
23:12eating meat and dairy products because
23:14it climbs up in the food chain so
23:15effectively so you can get exposed to
23:17living near these incinerators and
23:19breathing it but it'll take you 14 years
23:21to breathe in as much dioxin as a cow
23:24will ingest by eating the grass in one
23:26day and that dioxin will accumulate in
23:28his fat which includes the milk and the
23:30meat and anyone eating meat or dairy
23:33products is going to get that dose of
23:35dioxin so it climbs up the food chain
23:37every step men have no way in their
23:39bodies to get rid of dioxins but women
23:42have two ways they're both involving
23:44having a baby one is that dioxin crosses
23:46the placenta into the growing infant and
23:48the other is that it comes out from the
23:50breast milk so if you have a meat and
23:52dairy consuming mother breastfeeding
23:54that infant then the highest impacts of
23:57toxic exposure sure like Mercury and
23:58dioxins will go to that infant pregnant
24:00women are told oh certain types of fish
24:02should be avoided but what about all
24:04these other animal products which are
24:07introducing imagine as the fetus is
24:09developing introducing these very
24:11harmful toxins which create reproductive
24:15abnormalities developmental problems and
24:17hormonal issues right as the child is
24:20developing the most critical stage of
24:21development it does make you worry when
24:23people say don't you want to have a
24:25little bit of milk because you're
24:26pregnant don't you want to have some cuz
24:28you're pregnant who do you think is
24:29going to get the chemicals that are in
24:30that all these environmental toxins and
24:33toxins from the feed that they're being
24:35fed accumulate in their tissues and are
24:37released into the mother and
24:39unfortunately to the child when you eat
24:41these products when you're pregnant so
24:44this includes
24:45antibiotics hormones steroids in animal
24:49feed commercial animals are largely fed
24:51GMO corn and soy which are very Laden
24:55and pesticides pcbs have been B since
24:58the 70s but they persist in the
25:00environment dioxins all these compounds
25:03can create hormonal
25:05reproductive developmental damage as
25:08well eating organic beef poultry pork or
25:12fish will not help you avoid
25:14contaminants like Mercury like dioxins
25:16like strontium 90 because they fall out
25:18over all sorts of farm fields and water
25:20bodies and they don't skip over the
25:22organic fields and so really the
25:24contaminants are coming in regardless of
25:26how these animals are
25:28I had always been concerned about the
25:29possible Health impacts of GMOs but then
25:32found out that most of the world's GMO
25:33crops are actually consumed by livestock
25:35with dairy cows consuming the most per
25:37animal this fact with everything I
25:39learned about bioaccumulation made Dairy
25:41terrifying especially considering how
25:43much cheese I ate in my life cheese is
25:45an amazing product when you think about
25:47it it's probably one of the single best
25:50foods at compromising Health that you're
25:53going to actually feed to people think
25:55about it you've got an animal product so
25:57you've got all all the issues of
25:59biological concentration you have a
26:01highly processed food product and not
26:04only does it have naturally a lot of
26:05saturated fat but you put a lot of salt
26:07into it there's a strong link between
26:09dairy foods and autoimmune diseases and
26:12so that can show itself up as excessive
26:15production of mucus and saivation of
26:17asthma in kids who are prone to that and
26:19even adults and also there's an
26:21association between dairy foods and
26:22multiple sclerosis and type 1 diabetes
26:25which is an autoimmune disease and and
26:28other uh rheumatologic problems cow's
26:30milk is baby calf growth fluid that's
26:34what the stuff is there's absolutely no
26:36child or human on earth who actually
26:38needs the milk of a cow any more than
26:40they need the milk of a giraffe or a
26:42mouse most people in the world are
26:45lactose and tolerant I mean that's the
26:46normal State of Affairs why would your
26:48body create this enzyme to digest
26:50lactose after weaning after infancy it
26:53doesn't make any sense 73% of
26:55African-Americans are lactose intolerant
26:58uh 95% of Asians uh roughly 70% of
27:02Native Americans and about 53% of uh
27:05Hispanic Americans are lactose
27:06intolerant our government is encouraging
27:09Americans of color to eat foods that it
27:11knows is going to make them ill
27:13ultimately what that boils down to is
27:14the government is telling me as an
27:16African-American to eat food that's
27:17going to make me ill for no health
27:18benefit so that it will benefit uh Dairy
27:21Farmers as a form of institutionalized
27:23racism yeah milk is a risky food for
27:26human consumption as a p nutrition I see
27:29on a daily basis children suffering from
27:32conditions that are linked or Associated
27:34to Dairy consumption such as eczema acne
27:38constipation acid reflux iron deficiency
27:42anemia cow me protein is the most
27:44allergenic food people say well no I
27:45want hormone free not injected with B
27:48Vine growth hormone but milk is this
27:51hormonal fluid so it's just packed with
27:54sex hormones and natural sex steroid
27:56hormones like estrogen progesterone in
27:58fact doesn't matter if it's conventional
28:00milk doesn't matter if it's organic milk
28:02milk without hormones it's an oxymoron
28:04organic Dairy has just as much saturated
28:07fat and cholesterol and galactose and
28:10all the things that you don't want as
28:12conventional Dair dairy products in
28:14general have a lot of other products
28:16associated with it not the least of
28:17which is pus I mean they actually have
28:19laws limiting how much pus you can
28:22actually have in a milk and still sell
28:23it I believe it's like 750,000 pus cells
28:26per CC because I mean you would want too
28:28much puss and it' be like pure puss
28:29people might object in fact you could
28:31think of cheese as kind of coagulated
28:33cow puss if you would but I was always
28:35told that we need milk for strong bones
28:38I'm Jane Chapman and not too long ago
28:41finally got some X-rays of the hips and
28:44back severe
28:46bilateral osteoarthritis of the hips and
28:49actually I'm scheduled for two hip
28:51replacements that's bone on bone it is
28:54the grinding of the joints my stability
28:58is scary I hold on to the walls if I'm
29:01at home I've been told to use a walker
29:04I'm only 61 this is not how you're
29:07supposed to live when you're this old I
29:09have a really hard time believing
29:13that that's all that's left researchers
29:17have studied bone development in kids
29:19and whether they get stress fractures
29:21and that kind of thing and the kids who
29:22drink the most milk have zero protection
29:24milk does not build strong bones Harvard
29:26research have looked at a large group of
29:29older women over an 18-year period the
29:31milk drinkers had zero protection from
29:34fractures so this old notion that
29:36somehow milk is going to build strong
29:37bones or protect your bones later in
29:39life it's a myth people that drink milk
29:42have higher rates of hip fractures have
29:44more cancer and live shorter lives it
29:47turns out that countries with the
29:49highest Dairy consumption also have the
29:50highest rates of osteoporosis so clearly
29:53drinking more milk doesn't protect your
29:54bones doing more research I found that
29:57da was linked to many different types of
29:59cancer as well just like many of us I
30:01thought that the majority of cancer was
30:02due to genes but only 5 to 10% of cancer
30:06is actually genetic any cancer is caused
30:09by a DNA mutation but that's not enough
30:11so that can cause that first cancer cell
30:13but one cancer cell never killed anyone
30:15two cancer cells never killed anyone but
30:17a billion cancer cells now we're running
30:19into problems so we need to reduce the
30:21growth factors in our body like igf1
30:23insulin like growth factor one is this
30:25cancer promoting growth hormone involved
30:27in every stage of cancer cell growth and
30:29spread and metastases any animal protein
30:33boosts the level of igf-1 Da products
30:36increases your risk for various forms of
30:38cancer especially those related to your
30:40hormones so breast cancer prostate
30:41cancer ovarian cancer so this is not a
30:44product even in its most pure State you
30:46want to be consuming because it does
30:48come with risk I found out that Dairy
30:49can increase a man's chance of getting
30:51prostate cancer by 34% and for women
30:54who've had breast cancer just one
30:55serving of whole Dairy a day can
30:57increase their chance of dying from the
30:59disease 49% and dying from anything
31:0264% why weren't breast cancer sites like
31:05Susan Gan warning everyone about
31:09this calling Susan Gan this is Jin how
31:12may I help you I said we're wondering
31:14why you don't have a huge warning about
31:16the dangers of consuming dairy in your
31:17website when there's a direct link to
31:19breast cancer it was a study published
31:21in the Journal of the National Cancer
31:23Institute that found out women consuming
31:25Dairy who has had breast cancer in Ines
31:27their risk of dying of breast cancer
31:2949% was wondering why it's not on your
31:34website you cannot answer these types of
31:36questions once again another Health
31:38Organization rep saying someone else
31:40would have to answer my question rather
31:42than Rising stood up again I went
31:43straight to the local Susan Gman chapter
31:45to see if they would answer my
31:52questions they didn't want to answer my
31:54questions in person either and told us
31:56to stop filming but promised they would
31:58connect me to the national office
32:02directly Susan gan's pink ribbon
32:04campaign had done a lot to raise
32:06awareness for breast cancer although it
32:08was confusing to see pink ribbons on
32:10dairy yogurt containers breast cancer
32:14can be prevented with a healthy diet and
32:16lifestyle but we're not we're talking
32:18about pink ribbons and putting all the
32:20money into research for the Cure I for
32:22one know that I would want my daughter
32:25my mother me I want to focus on not
32:27getting to that point and that's where I
32:29would like to see more energy and effort
32:31put I had been a hardcore cheeseaholic
32:34virtually my entire life despite the
32:36risks but like so many others I seem to
32:38have been addicted to it it turns out
32:41that the Kine Protein that's the main
32:43protein in dairy products and
32:45particularly in cheese it breaks apart
32:47in the human digestion to create what
32:49are called quom morphins cine derived
32:53morphine like compounds that go to the
32:55brain and they attach to the very same
32:57receptor that heroin attaches to don't
33:00get me wrong they're not as strong as
33:01that but they are strong enough to make
33:03you come back again and again and again
33:06despite the fact that you're gaining
33:07weight you're more unhealthy than you've
33:09ever been but that cheese just calls out
33:12to people case of Morphin uh may play a
33:14role in SIDS and sudden infant death
33:16syndrome may play a role in autism this
33:18is one of the reasons why we don't want
33:21infants drinking milk from cows human
33:24breast milk has 2.7 gram of casine per
33:27liter compared to 26 G per liter for
33:30cow's milk that's practically 10 times
33:33more no wonder it's so addictive this
33:35talk about addiction made me think about
33:37all the drugs animals are fed I went to
33:39the headquarters of the center for food
33:41and safety the nation's leading FDA
33:43government Watchdog group to see how
33:45concerned we need to be about drugs and
33:47our food so that we know of there are at
33:49least 450 different drugs that are
33:52administered to animals either alone or
33:53in combination these drugs are given to
33:56animals for for a variety of reasons
33:58very very few of which are actually
34:00beneficial to consumer health we've got
34:02drug companies that work real hard to
34:06make sure they can sell lots of drugs to
34:09people raising cows pigs and chickens
34:11the pharmaceutical industry sells 80% of
34:14all the antibiotics that it makes in the
34:15United States to animal agriculture
34:17antibiotic residues are found in meat
34:19other antimicrobials are found in meat
34:21there has been ractopamine found in meat
34:23there's been hormones found in meat so
34:25right there you're talking about four
34:26different drugs that could be you know
34:28in the same piece of meat the
34:30pharmaceutical company supposed to show
34:32the safety of animal drugs they're not
34:34really testing to see what the impacts
34:35of these drugs are on humans they're
34:37really looking to see what the impacts
34:38of these drugs are on animals you know
34:40when we try to get information on on
34:42some of the health studies and the
34:44Environmental Studies from federal
34:46agencies we get back page after page of
34:50blacked out information because the
34:53company claimed confidential business
34:56information consumers have no idea what
34:59is in the products that they consume so
35:02how sick something makes me and how bad
35:04it pollutes the environment is a secret
35:07for a company in the animal agriculture
35:09industry as in the tobacco industry
35:12these companies really have a vested
35:14interest in making sure that the public
35:15doesn't have information about their
35:18effects and what risks are really posed
35:20to consuming them have this system where
35:23animals are living in their own waste
35:25they're living next to animals that are
35:28sick or even dead and they're stuck in
35:30cages with these animals that bacteria
35:31tends to spread that the pathogens that
35:34are being created in these filthy
35:36conditions are breeding resistance to
35:37antibiotics and the public are becoming
35:39exposed to those we already have people
35:41dying from salmonella and other things
35:44that you eat we having about 3,000
35:46people die every year in the United
35:49States that's more than the number of
35:51people that were killed in 911 in the
35:55Twin Towers of New York if if we had
35:57some terrorist organization killing
35:593,000 people a year we would be all over
36:01it the antibotic resistant bacteria
36:05deaths that we have on top of that you
36:07get a 20,000 people dying a year that's
36:11seven 91s every year can you imagine if
36:17that many people were being killed by
36:19some terrorist group in the United
36:20States every year we would find them you
36:23know the World Health Organization has
36:25said we're nearing a post antibiotic
36:26care in medicine you'll be at risk in
36:28minor surgeries to have a fatal
36:30infection you'll be at risk going to the
36:32dentist if you have a tooth extracted or
36:34it'll be like Civil War medicine you get
36:36an infection in your leg and you cut
36:37your leg off so you have this very
36:39dangerous situation by crowding these
36:42animals in they become a perfect engine
36:45for generating a new flu virus that can
36:48come out into the community if you lived
36:50near a swine spray field not even the
36:53Keo but the waste disposal field you
36:56were three times more likely to have a
36:59MCA infection you can't see how it
37:03impacts the average person's life in
37:05dupan County North Carolina and not be a
37:07little upset about
37:10it from an environmental standpoint from
37:13a community standpoint from all other
37:15aspects North Carolina we're in a we're
37:17in a state of emergency we've already
37:18had bouts of swine flu or H1N1 as they
37:21prefer to refer to it that particular
37:23swine flu incident was uh originated on
37:26a farm here in North Carolina there's
37:29approximately the same number of hogs in
37:31North Carolina as there our people
37:32between 8 to 10 times the amount of
37:35feces is produced by a hog an adult hog
37:38as compared to an adult human 10 million
37:40pigs in North Carolina produce the waste
37:42equal to 100 million humans this is the
37:45equivalent of the entire us Eastern
37:48Seaboard flushing their toilets into
37:50North Carolina but there is no waste
37:51treatment the pig's waste falls through
37:53slats in the floors of the sheds they
37:55are forced to live in it is is then
37:56pumped into giant waste pits which leech
37:58into rivers and streams and is pumped
38:01out unfiltered onto Fields further
38:03polluting the environment and
38:04neighboring
38:05Health when you go back and you look at
38:08where these hog facilities are located
38:10there's a disproportionate number of
38:12them that are located near communities
38:14of color low-income communities it is
38:17definitely a human rights
38:19issue my sister she have Aspen and you
38:22know her brother he have Aspen he's
38:25three
38:27and we don't know what she might
38:29have I have Aspen I have Sinus I have
38:33sadosa that's a the bacteria and I have
38:36a pacemaker which is six sinus syndrome
38:39but you know mostly everybody in this
38:42neighborhood got asthma or either cancer
38:45my neighbor there died from cancer
38:48probably just last year my nephew down
38:50the street he's got cancer he's in
38:52terent cancer stage four not a smoker
38:55not a drinker and it's not in his lungs
38:58it's in his LMP noose but if you live
39:00here and saw the way they do you don't
39:03eat no pork well I don't eat bacon
39:06because I know where it come from when
39:07they die they go into a box and they
39:10decompose because they swell ESP when
39:13heat a truck come and pick them up take
39:17them to the process planting rad here
39:20round them up into feed and feed it back
39:23to the Hawks if I come out this door if
39:25he spray yeah it's going to come in my
39:27face they hit you right in the face
39:29smell like something that you have never
39:30smelled before SM work on dead body it's
39:34the family graveyard I have my
39:36grandmother out there my sisters my
39:39brothers when we go to the funeral he
39:41used to spray during the funeral during
39:43the funer yes during the funeral yeah he
39:47spray and when the people come everybody
39:50be closing their nose up saying how it's
39:52think they can want to have a cookout on
39:54Sunday here's pray do you think think he
39:56does it on purpose I think so cuz he
39:59just sprays Sunday he always sprays
40:01Sunday and in most of these area hog
40:04houses and Turkey House is in the black
40:07area or the Hispanic area it's either or
40:11do you think it's also a civil rights
40:13issue yes yes I do yes I
40:22do there have been times in the past
40:26that I have gotten ready on the suay got
40:29ready to go to church and come out and
40:31the smell was so strong that I had to go
40:35back and regroup because it got in my
40:37clothes and I just couldn't go to church
40:40smelling like Hogs you know I just
40:42couldn't do it so I don't think that the
40:45government cares they care more
40:47about Corporation than do people
40:51individuals and they're going to keep on
40:52they're going to put more chickens in
40:54this state this is the feast season you
40:55and cap the world right here in North
40:57Carolina my state look there's a blue
41:00line stream right here come into my
41:02property almost and the cony Creek right
41:04here I've seen that blue line stream now
41:06filled with feces and urine from that
41:08hog pin and they can say well we feed
41:10the world they're not interested in
41:12feeding the world they interested in
41:13making money you take the money away
41:14from it they'll let the folks
41:16starve cuz if you want to feed the world
41:18you can feed the world with more coin
41:20using corn and wheat and stuff like that
41:22and you can meat meat is a luxury item
41:24when we are doing things that hurt other
41:26people people we're wrong but a lot of
41:29good people will sit there and eat bacon
41:32knowing that it's causing someone else
41:35to be very
41:38unhappy I woke up the next morning to
41:40find the buron river had experienced
41:42another massive fish kill from the
41:44pollution running off Hog Farms tens of
41:47thousands of fish were washing up on
41:49shore all this talk about health I
41:52realized that I was only focused on
41:53personal health but health started to
41:55mean so much more to me it was about
41:58health of my family and our communities
42:00I couldn't under good conscious support
42:02an industry that I knew was harming
42:05others pollution from animal agriculture
42:08isn't just an issue in North Carolina
42:10though raising animals for food produces
42:12more greenhouse gases than the entire
42:14Transportation sector it is a leading
42:16cause of rainforest destruction species
42:18Extinction ocean dead zones and
42:20freshwater
42:25consumption
42:27American Diabetes Association actually
42:30finally got back and they agreed to an
42:33interview preparing for the American
42:35Diabetes Association interview I took a
42:38look at their diabetes diet and meal
42:39plan recommendations and they were
42:41loaded with Foods associated with
42:43causing diabetes how could they expect
42:46people not to get diabetes if this was
42:48the food they were
42:49recommending and then I saw multiple
42:52peer-reviewed studies published on the
42:54National Institute of Health Website
42:55showing that that a low-fat plant-based
42:57diet was more than twice as powerful at
42:59controlling and even reversing diabetes
43:02than the Ada recommended diet that
43:03included meat and
43:05dairy the mission of the American
43:08Diabetes
43:09Association is to identify a prevention
43:14and a cure for diabetes but in the
43:17meantime to improve the lives of all
43:20people who are affected by
43:22diabetes and uh what's the best way to
43:25prevent to prevent this for type two
43:28diabetes it's unclear we can't prevent
43:32type 2 diabetes in everybody when we're
43:35doing a research we came across a lot of
43:37studies that said um that you actually
43:41could potentially cure reverse diabetes
43:44with a purely plant-based diet I don't
43:47believe there's sufficient evidence to
43:50demonstrate that how does it compare to
43:53the Ada diet that you recommend we don't
43:56recommend a specific diet we recommend
43:59we recommend healthy eating the one
44:01that's on the website we recommend
44:03healthy eating there is do you have a
44:05whole uh you have a whole list of exact
44:08day-to-day the meal plan the whole meal
44:11plan all they are selections of foods to
44:14consider we do not have a DI diabetes
44:16diet but with with that selections that
44:18you consider that that plan compared to
44:22an a plant-based plan no one's done that
44:25study we found actually some studies
44:28that a 74- we study found that lowfat
44:30vegan diet versus the Ada plan in type I
44:35think we're done here I'm not I'm not
44:37going to get into an argument about oh
44:39no I just one of the studies of uh the
44:41studies of if this is true if it shows
44:44that if any Diet
44:48Works any Diet Works if people follow
44:52it but if it's a diet that's not the
44:56proper diet like if anyone follows a
44:58diet that they eat I I can't tell you
45:00what a proper diet is I can tell you
45:03what an improper diet is so then we can
45:07talk about the good diets I'm not sure
45:09why I'm I'm not going to get into that
45:11into diet no if if if that's if that's
45:15where you want to go with this I'm sorry
45:17I'm not the person that you should be
45:18talking to and why is that though if
45:21that's what you want to get into I'm not
45:22the person you need to be talking to who
45:24do we talk to about
45:26you can talk to anybody you want but
45:28that's interesting though why not
45:30recommend a diet because the data don't
45:32exist to but if I've see we see data
45:34that we looked up that supports it with
45:37like you know the NIH the uh in Europe
45:40the European
45:43European we're done I'm sorry I'm not
45:46going to get into that argument with you
45:48not arent I'm not going to get into the
45:49argum why is there an argument that just
45:51talking about in European study of
45:54diabetes and other places that have
45:57studies why there are lots of studies
45:59why is it even an argument there are
46:01lots of studies in the literature many
46:04of which have never been
46:06replicated
46:08or frankly are wrong that's why we do
46:11peer review okay the European
46:14Association of study of diabetes has
46:17been period reviewed or I don't know
46:19what study you're you're referring to
46:21and in the absence of being able to see
46:23that study I'm not going to comment I
46:25could show it to you I'm sorry I don't
46:27have the time for that I just don't
46:28understand why it's an argument though
46:29or
46:38okay that was interesting what he wanted
46:41to talking about was people living
46:43longer with diabetes but once you
46:45mention eliminating diabetes or
46:47prevention oh whoa now you cross the
46:49line prevention and cure whoa whoa let's
46:52not go
46:54there not only did Dr Ratner the chief
46:57medical officer of the American Diabetes
46:59Association not want to talk about diet
47:01but the fact that he had such an
47:03emotional reaction to my question made
47:04it feel I was digging into something
47:06that he didn't want uncovered I had
47:09always thought there was no prevention
47:11for type 1 diabetes but then I did
47:13research and came across countless
47:15studies referencing the link between
47:16exposure to Dairy at a young age and
47:18type 1 diabetes I mean this is a food
47:21made for baby cows cow milk protein gets
47:24into the bloodstream and the body says
47:25hey this isn't supposed to be in the
47:26bloodstream it makes antibodies to the
47:28calic protein which then attack the
47:30pancreas and destroy the pancreas how is
47:33this possible that ADA wouldn't have
47:35this Forefront on their website why
47:36wouldn't they be warning all parents
47:38about this even if there were only a
47:39slight chance why would they
47:41recommending people to actually eat
47:43these Foods linked to diabetes it seemed
47:46all of the large health organizations
47:47were encouraging people to eat the very
47:49Foods linked to the diseases they're
47:51supposed to be fighting against American
47:53Heart Association promoting beef
47:55American can Society promoting processed
47:57meat pink ribbons on dairy products and
47:59bacon wrapped shrimp on American
48:01Diabetes
48:02Association and then it all came
48:05together what
48:07[Music]
48:11if and there it was the American
48:14Diabetes Association was taking money
48:15from Danon one of the world's largest
48:17dairy yogurt producers craft Foods
48:19makers of velv processed cheese Oscar
48:21Meyer processed Meats Lunchables
48:23processed kids meals and Bumblebee Foods
48:25makers of less canned
48:30Meats American Cancer Society was taking
48:32money from Tyson one of the world's
48:34largest meat producers and yum brand
48:36owner of Pizza Hut KFC and Taco Bell
48:39Susan G colan was supposed to be
48:41fighting breast cancer was corporate
48:43partnering with KFC Deets Watson
48:45processed meats and yop play
48:47yogurt and the American Heart
48:49Association was probably the most
48:51disturbing of all taking hundreds of
48:53thousands of dollars from the beef
48:54industry p Tre and Dairy Producers and
48:57millions from fast food and processed
48:59food
49:02manufacturers every single one of these
49:04organizations was taking money from meat
49:07and dairy companies that are associated
49:08with the causes of these diseases this
49:11would be like the American Lung
49:12Association taking money from the
49:14tobacco industry I was sick of not
49:17getting answers so I went to the
49:19headquarters of these organizations
49:21myself we have to speak someone in
49:23person there's millions of people dying
49:26from the foods that they are
49:27recommending people to eat I wanted to
49:30find out why Susan Gom had accepted $35
49:32million from yl when their products can
49:35increase a woman's chance of dying from
49:36breast cancer
49:3849% and ask American Cancer Society if
49:40taking money from KFC and Tyson was the
49:42reason they promote eating meat but
49:45every one of these organizations
49:47declined to be
49:48interviewed what's really sad is that we
49:51cannot trust information from these
49:54leading health organizations like the
49:56American Heart Association the American
49:57Diabetes Association because they are
50:01taking money from the very Industries
50:02who are causing the problems that
50:04they're you know supposed to be helping
50:06to prevent so that makes the the truth
50:10something that you are not going to be
50:11hearing as far as nutrition goes uh from
50:14these organizations well that would be
50:15the end of their funding that would be
50:17the end of their jobs that would be
50:18lawsuits that they would bring the
50:20entire catastrophe down upon their heads
50:22and they would essentially disappear as
50:23organizations this one time I got
50:25invited to a charity fundraiser for the
50:28American Diabetes Association and I
50:30showed up and they had a whole buffet
50:32and it was all just animal products I
50:35remember like a big thing of barbecued
50:37chicken and and I was like I stormed out
50:40I said I said like serving chicken at a
50:45diabetes event is like serving alcohol
50:47at an AA meeting it just doesn't make
50:50sense we had scheduled to film an
50:53interview with a prominent surgeon but
50:55but before we could get inside the
50:56building the hospital's media relations
50:58manager stopped us actually I understand
51:01that doct said that you could film here
51:03today but unfortunately that's not going
51:05to be able to happen um I know that he
51:07advocates for patients changing their
51:09diets but the hospital makes money off
51:11these surgeries and the reality is he
51:13does too so uh we can't do anything
51:16that's going to negatively impact the
51:17hospital so unfortunately you're not
51:19going to be able to fil here
51:20[Music]
51:21today I was sickened by how open she was
51:24about the hosital hospital being more
51:26interested in profits than People's
51:28Health but it wasn't just this hospital
51:31or these organizations even the US
51:33government is involved too every 5 years
51:36the US Department of Agriculture creates
51:37dietary guidelines for Americans the
51:39committee who writes these guidelines
51:41has been made up of individuals who have
51:43received money from McDonald's the
51:44national Dairy Council the American Meat
51:46Institute the national Dairy board the
51:48national livestock and meat board the
51:49American egg board Dannon candy and
51:51sugar companies Coca-Cola and anheiser
51:53just to name a few which which means we
51:55are getting our dietary recommendations
51:57from the very industries that are
51:58killing us and when they the USDA makes
52:02a pyramid or a power plate every 5 years
52:05for the American public they're going to
52:06guarantee that on that plate are going
52:08to be foods which when
52:10consumed will result in millions of
52:13Americans perishing the USDA which is
52:16supposed to be protecting us has two
52:18missions it's supposed to protect us and
52:20it's supposed to protect the producer
52:22and guess what when those two come ahead
52:24to head they usually choose the producer
52:26in internal documents uncovered by Dr
52:28Gregor the USDA admitted that eggs
52:30cannot legally be called nutritious
52:32lowfat part of a balanced diet low
52:34calorie healthful healthy can't say it's
52:36good for you or even safe yet they still
52:39promote these products to the American
52:40people through Federal checkoff programs
52:43if you ask somebody if they've heard of
52:44a check off program the odds are they
52:46haven't although daily they are seeing
52:48the messaging that these programs
52:50produce so check off programs are
52:52responsible for the messages that we see
52:54on TV on the internet on bus Billboards
52:57and magazines that say things like milk
52:59it does a body good or milk life beef
53:02it's what's for dinner pork be inspired
53:05the Incredible Edible Egg the dairy
53:07check off program gave $12 million to
53:11Dominoes to just Market cheese heavy
53:13products and this is the USDA this is
53:15the government if you've seen those ads
53:17for the Pizza Hut pizza the stuffed
53:19crust or a pound of cheese those are all
53:22government advertising schemes for the
53:24industry how can we put more cheese on
53:27beef how can we put more milk in a
53:29coffee things like that to just drive
53:32consumption of these just unbelievably
53:34unhealthful products so McDonald's for
53:37instance has six people staffed
53:39full-time according to records we found
53:42whose salaries are paid for by this
53:44government program but funded by the
53:47producers who are regulated by it and
53:49these six people sit there at McDonald's
53:51headquarters and just come up with
53:54ideas triple cheese Decker MC cheese
53:58muffin stuffed bacon cheese
54:03slider with extra
54:06cheats you don't think of it on a
54:08day-to-day basis that these are
54:10government programs the Wendy's bacon
54:13double
54:14cheeseburger government programs the
54:17steak fajita Dunkin Donuts government
54:20program you would just never think that
54:22this just pure garbage from a food
54:24stando point is coming from a ferally
54:27funded program that's one of the things
54:29that makes check offs so incredibly
54:31creepy is that it is our government
54:34telling us eat more beef drink more milk
54:36eat more cheese eat more pork one of the
54:39very effective ways that the dairy
54:40industry promotes its products is to
54:44reach children because kids are
54:46impressionable they're going to be
54:48consumers for their entire lives and you
54:50might as well get them while they're
54:51young so Deary spends at least $50
54:53million promoting a its products in
54:56public schools throughout the country
54:58with postard with people with milk
55:01mustaches and messages like milk it does
55:04a body good or milk life targeting young
55:07people right the tobacco industry had to
55:09keep replacing their customers who are
55:11dying with new customers meat industry
55:14knows they have to Target young people
55:16that's why we have these Foods in
55:17schools and marketing messages at a
55:19younger and younger age for kids to get
55:20hooked on all the wrong kinds of foods
55:23so there's all kinds of parallels school
55:25districts where processed meats are all
55:27over the place maybe it's going to be
55:29bacon on the menu sausage hot dogs or
55:32pepperoni pizza any of those things are
55:33processed meats and those are pretty
55:35much the worst of the worst with a
55:37direct link to colon cancer mean and yet
55:39you have every day in the schools meal
55:41items with processed Meats if the
55:43Surgeon General puts warning labels on
55:45Tobacco because of their cancer risk why
55:47aren't the same warning labels on
55:50meat based on the publicly available
55:53data we know they spend at least 500
55:54$157 million promoting their goods
55:57through check off programs we know that
55:59they spend at least $138 million
56:02lobbying Congress we expect that they
56:04spend a good deal more than that that in
56:06figures that simply aren't publicly
56:07disclosed the industry's lobbying power
56:09is so strong that they can create laws
56:11and push through legislation that
56:13doesn't benefit Americans in any way
56:15such as AG gag laws that criminalize
56:17whistleblowing or photographing abuses
56:19by this industry activists in the US can
56:21be charged as terrorists for disrupting
56:23the profits of any business that you
56:24uses animals under the animal Enterprise
56:26terrorism act to the even more
56:28ridiculous ones like cheeseburger laws a
56:32cheeseburger law is a law that says a
56:34plaintiff cannot recover against a
56:36manufacturer distributor retailer on the
56:38theory that the food made the plaintiff
56:40obese or caused an obesity related
56:44disease cheeseburger laws are a direct
56:46response to a problem that the tobacco
56:50industry has had big tobacco has paid
56:52$400 billion to State Medicaid Program
56:54programs cheeseburger laws proponents
56:57say we don't want to see the same kind
56:59of thing happen to the meat and dairy
57:00Industries the fact that these laws are
57:02based on a Model template called The
57:04Common Sense consumption Act is actually
57:07ironic because what they're saying is
57:09you the consumer should have the common
57:11sense to know that our food is bad for
57:13you I've often typified the meat
57:16industry to people who maybe don't
57:19understand its power and reach as it's
57:21got all the money of big tobacco and big
57:24Pharma and it has the personality of the
57:26National Rifle
57:27Association so any any little thing that
57:31comes up man they they beat it to death
57:34Robert Martin wasn't exaggerating when
57:36the profits of the egg industry were
57:37threatened by egg alternative company
57:39Hampton Creek Foods extremely disturbing
57:42emails were uncovered by Ryan Shapiro
57:44and Jeffrey light we uncover documents
57:46demonstrating the American egg board
57:48considers Hampton Creek quote a crisis
57:50and major threat to the future of the
57:53American egg industry the American
57:54eggboard considers a successful egg
57:56replacer company to be such a threat
57:59that they joke on their government email
58:01addresses about murdering the CEO in
58:04internal government emails with the
58:06heads of the egg industry they suggest
58:08having the CEO of Hampton Creek Josh
58:10tetric murdered including a menacing
58:13email from the executive director of the
58:15American egg
58:21board the meat producers don't have to
58:24pay for the heart disease or the
58:26environmental destruction or any of the
58:28other um externalities as economists
58:31call them that their products cause you
58:35know then there's the whole
58:36pharmaceutical aspect of it and the fact
58:38that there's a very strong
58:39pharmaceutical industry and Lobby that
58:41has a huge stake in preserving the
58:43status quo and these chronic diseases
58:45these are the cash cows of the
58:47pharmaceutical industry you have A5
58:49billion stent industry do they ever want
58:51to see that go away we've got a $35
58:53billion St stattin drug industry do they
58:56ever want to see that go away I'm
58:57talking about the pharmaceutical
58:58industry effectively controls what
59:00doctors are told most research isn't put
59:03into prevention it's put into the
59:05medication that we might use for that
59:07particular disease I'm on two different
59:11high blood pressure medicines six asthma
59:14type medicines even after four years of
59:18shots and then another medicine to help
59:20take care of side effects from some of
59:22those medicines I'm on on highle
59:26anti-depressants a couple of different
59:29pain meds for my back and hips I'm
59:31taking about 16 drugs not counting the
59:35insulin in the morning I I take insulin
59:38morning insulin night you know 32 to 34
59:41units uh of insulin lantis to be exact
59:46some of these meds are for diabetes this
59:49is for peeing I have to use this for my
59:52prostrate and then I have to use this
59:54this for the heart and I have to use
59:57this for blood pressure and and it's
59:59just on and on and on and on the doctors
1:00:03are telling me this is what I got to do
1:00:04for my whole life and it's frustrating
1:00:07and it's very stressful and I I don't
1:00:10know how long my liver is going to last
1:00:11taking all this stuff under conventional
1:00:13medical treatment whether it be for
1:00:15autoimmune disease or even conditions
1:00:17like high blood pressure or diabetes
1:00:19you're told that you have to take drugs
1:00:22and not just for a week or a month or
1:00:24year you're told you have to take drugs
1:00:27forever you're guaranteed that if you
1:00:29follow your doctor's advice you'll be
1:00:31sick forever you'll never get well
1:00:34that's the guarantee because the
1:00:36strategies are all about manipulating
1:00:39the symptoms not dealing with the
1:00:41underlying cause you come in with that
1:00:42diagnosis you get a bunch of pills that
1:00:44have nothing to do with the disease
1:00:46causation or you get these procedures
1:00:48that have nothing to do with disease
1:00:50causation it's a deception to say this
1:00:52pill will help you unclog your artery
1:00:54this one will save you from a stroke no
1:00:56it doesn't the people who take the STS
1:00:58Etc they still get their heart attacks
1:01:00they still get their strokes this is not
1:01:02reverse disease this does not make
1:01:03plaques smaller this is a fraud of
1:01:06massive proportions in the US treating
1:01:09chronic disease such as heart disease
1:01:10cancer and diabetes is a $ 1.5 trillion
1:01:14industry that's the GDP equivalent of
1:01:17the 10th richest country in the world I
1:01:20went back and dug deeper into the health
1:01:22organization's funding and there it was
1:01:24again again these organizations were
1:01:26accepting millions of dollars from
1:01:28pharmaceutical companies that are making
1:01:30billions of dollars from the very same
1:01:32diseases these Health groups are
1:01:33supposedly trying to end it seemed like
1:01:36a major conflict of interest unless
1:01:38ending these diseases isn't really the
1:01:40goal the pharmaceutical industry spends
1:01:42more money on lobbying than any other
1:01:44single industry just like animal
1:01:46agriculture they are so powerful they
1:01:47write their own laws that have had
1:01:49activists in prison to silence them
1:01:51government's in bed with anyone that
1:01:52gives them the most money which is the
1:01:54pharmaceutical industry which is the
1:01:56animal egg industry is like they are
1:01:58pumping the government full of money and
1:02:00resources and in return the government's
1:02:01giving them what they want subsidies
1:02:03imprisoning activists that go against
1:02:06them and I think it's quite telling that
1:02:07these industries are working so hard and
1:02:10spending so much money to criminalize
1:02:13people for simply taking a picture for
1:02:15simply recording what's going on inside
1:02:17of these facilities and making it known
1:02:19to the public they're behind walls
1:02:21they're underground they're in these
1:02:22secret facilities that no one knows
1:02:25about but if they did they would be
1:02:26shocked and outraged and I think people
1:02:28would not want to think that that
1:02:30they're Pharmaceuticals that their food
1:02:32are coming from these places and that's
1:02:33why I think it's such the agag laws are
1:02:36what they are is because they are trying
1:02:37to silence people into not speaking out
1:02:40and not showing the truth I finally
1:02:42realized how deep the collusion truly is
1:02:44between government and these industries
1:02:46and how dangerous it could be to expose
1:02:48them these concerns intensified after
1:02:50meeting the USDA whistleblower who
1:02:52revealed mad cow disease in the US meets
1:02:54Supply uh USDA operates like the
1:02:56military so when I got on TV and that
1:02:58right away USDA sent out memos to all
1:03:00the veterinarians and food inspectors if
1:03:02anybody from the media ever contacts you
1:03:04do not talk to them refer them to
1:03:07Washington DC and we will talk to them
1:03:10so right away shut up everybody American
1:03:12public should very very concerned about
1:03:14this what's going on with USDA here in
1:03:17the United States we have at least four
1:03:20cases of M Cal disease but I'm almost
1:03:22positive there's more cases than that
1:03:24but the government isn't looking for it
1:03:25what you're saying is that there could
1:03:26be already mad cow disease and in humans
1:03:29right I think a lot of it was
1:03:31misdiagnosed with the Alzheimer's or
1:03:33dementia it takes several years you see
1:03:35the progression but to make it easier
1:03:37these doctors just sign off on as
1:03:38Dementia or Alzheimer's without actually
1:03:41taking a biopsy to the brain to see if
1:03:42it's that or is it actually a preon
1:03:45disease like cruo yaka disease or miral
1:03:48disease do you think it's safe to eat
1:03:50meat I personally don't think it's safe
1:03:53to eat it because of the fact
1:03:54how the line speeds are increasing and
1:03:57also our inspectors are not well trained
1:03:59enough at the present time the line
1:04:01speed now is going about 220 Cals an
1:04:03hour that gives you about somewhere
1:04:05around 4 Cals per minute so that's 15
1:04:08seconds per cow these dangerous
1:04:11Slaughter speeds means that animal waste
1:04:13ends up everywhere testing shows 88% of
1:04:16pork chops are contaminated with feal
1:04:18bacteria 90% of ground beef and 95% of
1:04:21chicken breast sample contain animal
1:04:23waste bacteria IA there is nothing clean
1:04:26about eating this way but it just isn't
1:04:28waste it's also pus filled infections
1:04:32you can see there's a bump or some kind
1:04:33of absess underneath the hide most of
1:04:36the time when the hide's pulled off
1:04:39either that will open up the absess and
1:04:41the puss will come out or if it's deep
1:04:43seated when inspectors are doing their
1:04:45work or the company employees they might
1:04:47stick their knife into an absess and it
1:04:50explodes all over the
1:04:52place I had heard enough I was utterly
1:04:55disgusted by the corruption the greed
1:04:57the disease and the abuse I was learning
1:04:59about the very animals we were killing
1:05:01were killing us and the planet but so
1:05:04many people eat meat and dairy every day
1:05:06of their lives and we are so concerned
1:05:08about getting enough protein do we have
1:05:10to eat meat to get complete protein oh
1:05:13my God oh my God you want me to jump off
1:05:16this Bell don't you well first of all
1:05:19all protein is made by plants I'll state
1:05:23that again for the record all protein is
1:05:25initially made by plants all of it and
1:05:28it is not necessary to eat animal tissue
1:05:31in order to get protein only plants have
1:05:35the ability to actually take nitrogen
1:05:37from the air break those molecules apart
1:05:40and incorporate that nitrogen into amino
1:05:42acids and then make protein any protein
1:05:45you get from an animal is simply
1:05:46recycled plant protein if you ate a diet
1:05:49that was calorically adequate and even
1:05:51things like brown rice and broccoli and
1:05:53you got enough of it it you'd get enough
1:05:55both quantity and quality of protein
1:05:572,000 calories of brown rice and
1:05:58broccoli is going to be about 80 gram of
1:06:00protein a day including the essential
1:06:02amino acids that you need in order to
1:06:04maintain Optimum Health I mean grains
1:06:06are loaded with protein beans are loaded
1:06:09with protein vegetables are loaded with
1:06:11protein you really want to get your
1:06:14protein from Plants because plant
1:06:16proteins have a much more beneficial
1:06:18effect on our physiology the funny thing
1:06:20about protein is most Americans get
1:06:22about twice the amount they need
1:06:24most Americans get less than half the
1:06:26amount of fiber they need but the
1:06:28conversation tends to always be about
1:06:29protein so in my mind it's just this
1:06:32magical marketing campaign that protein
1:06:34has taken on over the decades the
1:06:36question is not where do you get your
1:06:37protein it's where do you get your fiber
1:06:39I have never in my professional career
1:06:41seen a protein deficiency I've never
1:06:43seen someone come in eating normal
1:06:44amounts of calories and they're protein
1:06:46deficient you just don't see that so
1:06:49human milk has the lowest protein
1:06:51content ever in any species ever ever
1:06:54tested I mean that's the fluid that's
1:06:56been designed by Evolution over millions
1:06:58of years and that's just like the
1:07:00perfect food for human babies right
1:07:03perfect food lowest protein content any
1:07:06other mammal and so it gives a sense of
1:07:08kind of protein
1:07:10requirement
1:07:12anything then rat milk eight milk donkey
1:07:15milk any milk has ever been tested and
1:07:18you hear this a lot in bodybuilders
1:07:19they're like well I need you know
1:07:21chicken or I need fish to be you know to
1:07:23be WR to build muscle tissue that is
1:07:26utter nonsense the largest strongest
1:07:29terrestrial animals on the planet are
1:07:31all herbivores the biggest strongest
1:07:33animals are all herbivores when we bring
1:07:36in people and they're on meaty diets and
1:07:38we transition them to a plant-based diet
1:07:39we always track what they're eating
1:07:41their vitamin intake goes up their
1:07:43nutrition overall goes up dramatically
1:07:45better and these same people might worry
1:07:48in advance will I get the nutrition that
1:07:50I need on a plant-based diet the fact is
1:07:52you're not getting the nutrition you you
1:07:54need on a meat-based diet and you're
1:07:55going to get dramatically better
1:07:57nutrition on a plant-based diet for an
1:07:58average sized guy like myself I need
1:08:01about 56 grams of protein a day that's
1:08:04Optimum probably I really need 30 to 40
1:08:06grams a day diets that are really high
1:08:08in these protein create diabetes create
1:08:11heart disease create cancer create the
1:08:12diseases that that I'm treating on a
1:08:14daily basis but this is the opposite of
1:08:16what all the high protein diet fads say
1:08:18the food you eat determines the bacteria
1:08:21that live in your gut well you eat
1:08:22animal flesh every every day you are
1:08:25summoning up bacteria that eat carnitin
1:08:28and those bacteria will turn that
1:08:30carnitin into a molecule called
1:08:33trimethylamine your liver then turns
1:08:35that into trimethylamine oxide that's a
1:08:38molecule from hell that molecule drives
1:08:40cholesterol into the artery walls and
1:08:43the people who are consume this flesh-
1:08:45based diet are contributing to plaque
1:08:47building up they may lose weight on this
1:08:49diet and that's good but what's
1:08:50happening inside your arteries paleo
1:08:53friends what what's happening is that
1:08:54black is building up and these are the
1:08:56folks who drop dead at the gym at 39 Bo
1:08:58he was lean he looked really good but
1:09:01where is that cholesterol going it's
1:09:03going into your artery walls so I
1:09:05believe these paleo folks are setting
1:09:07themselves up for an epidemic of clogged
1:09:10arteries colon cancers autoimmune
1:09:13diseases uh this is not a healthy diet
1:09:15we are not carnivorous Apes humans
1:09:17closest living relatives are chimps who
1:09:19get 97% of their calories from plants
1:09:22and the remaining 3% mostly from insects
1:09:24comparing the anatomy of true omnivores
1:09:26like Bears who eat both meat and plants
1:09:28to frugivores like primates who eat
1:09:30almost exclusively plants the
1:09:31differences are pretty clear frugivore
1:09:34teeth have flat MERS for chewing plants
1:09:35where omnivore teeth are serrated for
1:09:37stabbing and tearing flesh fuore Jaws
1:09:40can move forward and back and side to
1:09:41side omnivore Jaws cannot omnivores have
1:09:44much stronger stomach acid for digesting
1:09:46meat compared to less acidic stomach
1:09:48acid of frugivores the intestines of
1:09:50frugivores is nine times their body
1:09:52length compared to three times for
1:09:53omnivores this is because meat will
1:09:55purify in the gut unless it is moved
1:09:57through quickly if humans were indeed
1:09:59true omnivores we would need to change
1:10:01our physiology and appearance quite a
1:10:03lot but we fit every requirement of a
1:10:05frugivore we may behave like omnivores
1:10:08but anatomically we're fuor human beings
1:10:11unlike bears and raccoons and to some
1:10:13extent dogs don't have that mixed
1:10:17anatomy and physiology that you see in
1:10:19the true omnivores and thus we are not
1:10:21true omnivores in humans the C n have
1:10:24become really small and rounded and
1:10:27actually function like accessory in
1:10:29sizers they're utterly useless for
1:10:31ripping and tearing anything other than
1:10:33an envelope so the idea that the mere
1:10:37presence of the K9 somehow means that
1:10:38we're supposed to eat meat is silly he
1:10:41was right I always thought my canines
1:10:42were for meat but what kind of animal
1:10:44could I actually kill and eat raw with
1:10:46these tiny teeth the thought alone was
1:10:48disgusting I mean everybody loves a
1:10:51smoothie made with fruit and even some
1:10:53some vegetables but if you think about
1:10:55putting a fish or a piece of beef in a
1:10:58blender and grinding it up the thought
1:11:01is absolutely repulsive all these
1:11:03diseases I had learned about were from
1:11:05eating a diet our body wasn't designed
1:11:06for what would happen if we started
1:11:08eating a diet our body actually was
1:11:10designed for the data is crystal clear
1:11:13that you can stop and reverse heart
1:11:15disease with plant-based diets uh
1:11:17scientifically shown I've seen it in my
1:11:19own patients people who adopt low-fat
1:11:21plant-based diets can actually reverse
1:11:23their heart disease and that literally
1:11:25means watching the plaque start to go
1:11:27away something they didn't think Could
1:11:29Happen my experience with patien is and
1:11:31those studies show that when people
1:11:33adopt a fully plant-based diet their
1:11:34cholesterol levels plummet within a few
1:11:36days and if you do blood tests in a
1:11:38couple of weeks you'll see dramatic
1:11:39improvements yes your numbers are going
1:11:41to look great within a week or two your
1:11:43cholesterol can come crashing down in
1:11:45fact if you're on medications your
1:11:46doctor may have to pull off your blood
1:11:48pressure medication so your blood
1:11:49pressure don't drop too low because it
1:11:51can work too good like that the side
1:11:53effect is not having to take drugs in a
1:11:55groundbreaking study published by Dr
1:11:57eleston following patients suffering
1:11:59from cardiovascular disease
1:12:0199.4% were able to avoid major cardiac
1:12:04events by going plant-based because it's
1:12:06not just heart disease it's hypertension
1:12:09it's diabetes its Strokes its heart
1:12:11attacks it's several of the autoimmune
1:12:13diseases lupus asthma gird osteoporosis
1:12:18I mean there's a multitude of diseases
1:12:21even rheumatoid arthritis it can be so
1:12:23atic when you see these poor souls with
1:12:26just absolutely crippled with rheumatoid
1:12:28arthritis go plant-based then they come
1:12:30off come off their medication I wanted
1:12:32to follow up with Jane Chapman who had
1:12:34been suffering from severe
1:12:35osteoarthritis and I could not believe
1:12:38what I saw after only a few weeks of
1:12:40fasting and changing your diet so those
1:12:42are so amazing see like this few weeks
1:12:45later I know from going from The Walker
1:12:49needing wheelchair assistance at the
1:12:51airport to strolling down the street
1:12:55enjoying the fresh air the
1:12:58sunshine two weeks it's all it took two
1:13:01weeks to get off all the meds and uh
1:13:04start to to feel the inflammation just
1:13:06kind of drain out of the body where the
1:13:09movement was much
1:13:11easier uh just a lot of healing occurred
1:13:14very very rapidly just by doing the
1:13:16right things for your body when you're
1:13:19treating diseases with drugs you know
1:13:21there's one drug you take for cl
1:13:23different class of drugs you take for
1:13:25high blood pressure different class of
1:13:27drugs you take for diabetes but with
1:13:29diet a plant-based diet affects all
1:13:31these diseases one diet to kind of rule
1:13:33them all the impacts of eating this way
1:13:35go far beyond ourselves by getting rid
1:13:38of heart disease alone we would save up
1:13:39to $48 trillion in USA three times the
1:13:43US GDP conditions like high blood
1:13:45pressure you don't have to take the
1:13:47drugs the rest of your life and be sick
1:13:49forever what you can do is live in such
1:13:51a way that it gives the body a chance to
1:13:53heal itself we took 174 consecutive
1:13:55patients with high blood pressure and
1:13:57174 people were able to lower their
1:14:00blood pressure enough to eliminate the
1:14:01need for medication for uh inflammatory
1:14:04bow disease like Crohn's the best
1:14:05remission rates ever achieved through
1:14:08plantbase diet Ms multiple sclerosis the
1:14:11best results ever achieved compared to
1:14:13any medical surgical any kind of
1:14:15intervention was a plant-based diet you
1:14:17can see that with every sequential
1:14:19reduction in animal products people live
1:14:21longer they have less heart disease they
1:14:23have less cancer they have less diabetes
1:14:25you can actually take human cancer cells
1:14:27and put them in a Petri dish you can
1:14:28drip the blood of those eating vegan get
1:14:30about 72% suppression in human prostate
1:14:34cancer cell growth in vitro they wanted
1:14:36to try this again with women and breast
1:14:38cancer they said let's see what a
1:14:39plant-based die can do after just two
1:14:41weeks their body's cleaned up you drop
1:14:44their blood on the same carpet of cancer
1:14:46cells you can clear off the whole plate
1:14:48this is after just two weeks eating
1:14:50healthy which raises the question you
1:14:51know what kind of blood do we want in
1:14:53our body body my background is in
1:14:55industrial and systems engineering and
1:14:57that was my career path um for a long
1:15:00time until I had thyroid cancer and
1:15:04everything changed from there I decided
1:15:08that I wanted to uh try alternative
1:15:11methods and treatments rather than have
1:15:13surgery and have my thyroid removed
1:15:16which meant I'd be on medication forever
1:15:17and I didn't want that I just started
1:15:19reading how a plant-based diet can heal
1:15:22the body and it has worked for so many
1:15:24people so I immediately just switched to
1:15:28a completely Whole Food plant-based diet
1:15:30after a year um the cancer was
1:15:33completely gone and my thyroid had
1:15:35shrunk to normal size and I was
1:15:38completely free of that this was tough
1:15:40to believe couldn't this all just be
1:15:42from eating healthier though like no
1:15:43sugar turns out Dr Walter Kempner from
1:15:46Duke University back in the 1940s was
1:15:49reversing some of our worst killer
1:15:51diseases with diet alone and the diet he
1:15:53was using was not only strictly
1:15:54plant-based but it was made up of white
1:15:57rice fruit and table sugar and he was
1:16:00reversing diabetes he was reversing
1:16:02malignant hypertension reversing heart
1:16:04disease the diabetic complications
1:16:07reversing diabetic blindness so these
1:16:09people basically had death sentences
1:16:11went to him and were given basically
1:16:13sugar you know this horrible diet but it
1:16:17was strictly plant-based if this
1:16:19information had been around since the
1:16:211940s why don't all doct know this we're
1:16:24not taught about the power of food in
1:16:26medical school no one is taught that the
1:16:30changes that we make with our diet are
1:16:33probably the single most powerful thing
1:16:34we can do to determine our destiny it
1:16:37trumps our genetics why isn't your
1:16:38doctor telling this odds are your doctor
1:16:41never learned any of this in fact there
1:16:42was even a bill introduced just
1:16:44mandating Physicians get seven hours
1:16:46nutrition training every couple years
1:16:48just kind of stay on top of it and who
1:16:50came out against that the California
1:16:53medical association even the family
1:16:55physicians the surgeons all the
1:16:56mainstream medical groups came out
1:16:58opposed at 7 hours that's that's a lot
1:17:01even if it's over one foure period so
1:17:04they're not just kind of neutral but
1:17:06they're actually actively opposing
1:17:08nutrition education ironically when
1:17:10patients come to doctors with questions
1:17:11they assume that the doctor knows
1:17:13something about nutrition and so it's
1:17:14kind of a double whammy that doctors
1:17:16haven't been taught much about nutrition
1:17:18why don't we hear about this from
1:17:19dietitians when nutrition is their
1:17:21entire specialty turns out the American
1:17:23nutrition and dietetics Association puts
1:17:25out nutrition fact sheets ridden by the
1:17:26industries themselves the industries pay
1:17:29$20,000 per fact sheet and explicitly
1:17:31take part in writing them so you can
1:17:33learn about eggs from the egg industry
1:17:35you can learn about lamb from the lamb
1:17:36industry this would be like learning
1:17:38about the benefits of smoking from the
1:17:40tobacco industry when people are eating
1:17:42meat I think of it as a bit like smoking
1:17:44it's sort of Russian Roulette you may
1:17:47not get diabetes but your chances of
1:17:49getting diabetes about one and three you
1:17:51may not get cancer but your chances if
1:17:53you're a man about one in two a woman
1:17:55one in three your chances of gaining
1:17:56weight two out of three it's not all
1:17:58diet but most of it is the best thing
1:18:00that you can do to make sure that you
1:18:02empty all those bullets out of the
1:18:04chamber and you're not taking risks with
1:18:06your health is to get the animal
1:18:08products out of your diet and eating
1:18:09healthy foods I came to True North to
1:18:12help me with my asthma and to lose a
1:18:14little weight and it's amazing just in 2
1:18:17weeks of changing my diet don't have to
1:18:19take any asthma
1:18:21medication no
1:18:23anti-depressants no pain medication no
1:18:26heart medication nothing no medications
1:18:30at all and it's really it's just
1:18:33incredible I was taking oxie and Advil
1:18:36and I was taking 800 migs of Motrin
1:18:39three times a day just to get through
1:18:41the day because I was in so much pain
1:18:44and now nothing wow nothing at all two
1:18:46weeks two weeks 14 days all that
1:18:49medication are completely off completely
1:18:52off everything it's just been so
1:18:53frustrating to me because I went to so
1:18:56many different doctors for help and I
1:19:00tried so many different medications to
1:19:01help me with my asthma and nothing
1:19:04helped and I was stuck on the couch for
1:19:05the last 10 months uh unable to breathe
1:19:10and now in 2 weeks time 14 days I'm off
1:19:14my medication and I can breathe and I
1:19:17feel good and I can walk my life has
1:19:19changed and it only took 2 weeks of a
1:19:22whole plant-based diet that's incredible
1:19:26yeah that is
1:19:28incredible it really is that's amazing
1:19:31it really is I feel so blessed and so
1:19:33good and just so happy um to be doing
1:19:38this and I'm hoping that I can be a role
1:19:40model for other people and um not be
1:19:43pushy about it because everyone's going
1:19:45to do it in their own time um but thank
1:19:48God my time is
1:19:50n so
1:19:55thanks
1:19:57thanks as powerful as Amy's story was I
1:20:00knew for some eating 100% plant-based
1:20:03would still seem extreme I think there's
1:20:05this sense that everything's okay in
1:20:08moderation right but we haven't seen
1:20:12that moderation works there really isn't
1:20:15a study that shows that by eating meat
1:20:17and eggs in moderation you can actually
1:20:19turn your heart disease around and get
1:20:20better but I know people who've given up
1:20:22meat and they felt sick yeah it's it's
1:20:25unlikely that anybody's symptoms are
1:20:27caused by a dead decaying flesh
1:20:29deficiency the the lack of Highly
1:20:31processed animal food products in the
1:20:33diet is not going to be associated with
1:20:35the causal Factor about why they're
1:20:37they're sick there is going to be a
1:20:38reason why they're not feeling well but
1:20:39that's not going to be one of them so
1:20:41I've had people go vegan and they come
1:20:42back to me and they're like I'm
1:20:43hypothyroid and my doctor says I'm
1:20:45hypothyroid because uh plant-based diet
1:20:47makes you
1:20:49hypothyroid I'm like so what does your
1:20:51doctor tell all his Med eers that are
1:20:53hypothyroid well what's an animal flesh
1:20:55or dairy that you can't get in
1:20:57plant-based
1:20:59cholesterol heterocylic
1:21:01amines ecoi you know if you think about
1:21:04it U there is nothing in an animal-based
1:21:07diet that you can't get in healthier
1:21:09form somewhere else the only other
1:21:11vitamin is vitamin B12 it's not made by
1:21:14plants not made by animals either made
1:21:16by little microbes the blank of the
1:21:17earth so because the way we live in our
1:21:19sanitized World unless you're eating
1:21:21bacteria contamin ated Foods we need to
1:21:24get a source of B12 from somewhere so
1:21:26the healthiest cheapest safest source is
1:21:28to get a vitamin B12 fortified food or
1:21:31vitamin B12 supplement not to get it for
1:21:33meat and dairy what about people who say
1:21:35they have to eat meat for their blood
1:21:36type or their genes I it's just like
1:21:39it's like I need me because I'm a
1:21:41Capricorn or I need me because I have an
1:21:42A+ blood I mean it's like what do you
1:21:44say no one has to eat meat I mean
1:21:46there's no vitamin mineral nutrient that
1:21:48you can't get from non-animal sources
1:21:52Valentine 's day I decided to go vegan
1:21:55and give up all meat which was never in
1:21:58my thoughts in a wild million years but
1:22:01I've heard so much success from people
1:22:02that are vegan and so we I gave up all
1:22:05Animal product whatsoever I've lost uh
1:22:0829 PBS I've been able to cut my meds in
1:22:12half I've been able to cut my insulin in
1:22:14half and now I'm going for the moon I'm
1:22:16going to cut it all out in the last six
1:22:19weeks we've just had three grandchildren
1:22:21and my ugly face is going to be around
1:22:23to see him graduate from high school and
1:22:25college I'm going to be here my mission
1:22:27is to let everybody know you do not have
1:22:29to suffer from diabetes and cancer and
1:22:32heart disease because someone in your
1:22:34family had it or because the doctors are
1:22:36telling you this is what's going to
1:22:38happen you can take charge of your
1:22:39health and have a positive outcome just
1:22:42like I did the reason I'm so committed
1:22:45to this is um you know my grandmother
1:22:47had diabetes and I didn't know what I
1:22:51know now about healing the body and if I
1:22:54did I feel like she could have lived at
1:22:56least a few years longer and so it's in
1:22:59her
1:23:00honor that I do what I do because I
1:23:03could save someone else's grandmother
1:23:05Aunt Uncle father from that you
1:23:09know um
1:23:13so so I'm excited about about getting
1:23:16the message out there there's a common
1:23:19belief that eating plant-based is
1:23:20expensive not at all it can be done in a
1:23:24very inexpensive way where you buy foods
1:23:27that are in season and you shop in the
1:23:29bulk bins and that saves a lot of money
1:23:32you can eliminate a lot of your expenses
1:23:35on your grocery bill by not buying meat
1:23:37and dairy because those things are
1:23:39expensive our meal plan for a family of
1:23:42four is $25 per person in the family 264
1:23:47should told 2064 W that's for an entire
1:23:50week of food really an exploding
1:23:53movement of elite athletes are utilizing
1:23:55vegan diets to heal injuries speed
1:23:57recovery times and enhance their
1:23:58performance before I was vegan I was
1:24:01only bench pressing 315 like five times
1:24:04then after going vegan I was doing 400
1:24:07425 465 and I was like oh my God this is
1:24:11amazing I'm vegan and I'm bench pressing
1:24:13465 lbs this is ridiculous and as soon
1:24:16as I went vegan ton night it started
1:24:18disappearing my strength in my right arm
1:24:20started coming back high blood pressure
1:24:22was going went down you you can't be
1:24:24strong and be dying on the inside that's
1:24:26not strong that's weak that's really
1:24:29weak because yeah you look big and
1:24:31strong on the outside yeah big man no
1:24:33but your heart's crying for help on the
1:24:35inside you're you're dying I'm a
1:24:38professional parkour athlete uh two-time
1:24:39world free winning champion and more
1:24:41recently I got into Ninja Warrior where
1:24:42I'm captain of Team Europe as we win uh
1:24:45USA versus the world for something like
1:24:46Ninja Warrior and parkour specifically
1:24:49you really need to have a good strength
1:24:51to body weight ratio so I was carrying
1:24:53mass that I really didn't need and when
1:24:54I went vegan you know I lost 15 20 I was
1:24:56more agile I was more efficient more
1:24:58stamina in my body just that extra bit
1:25:00of pop that I didn't have before it just
1:25:01gave me that extra strength this is a
1:25:04very vibrant way to live it can enhance
1:25:07you as an athlete for me 100% better
1:25:09athlete than I was before it unlocked a
1:25:11whole new chapter of my training the
1:25:13science is there the health is there the
1:25:14the athletes are there proving that you
1:25:15don't need to eat dead animals to be
1:25:17strong to be healthy I started working
1:25:19out when I was 47 years old all the mus
1:25:22you see I gained as vegan I gained the
1:25:2515 lbs of muscles on my body eating all
1:25:28plant-based vegan foods all the aches
1:25:31and pains in my body it just went away
1:25:34because I'm not ingesting so many
1:25:36inflaming foods the acidic foods that
1:25:38animal products are gorillas rhinos and
1:25:40elephants they all get their muscles and
1:25:43strength from eating plants that's what
1:25:45I do I travel all around the world for
1:25:48my surfing and I've always been able to
1:25:51eat vegan I feel like if you want
1:25:54something you can make it happen I just
1:25:56don't make any excuses I would never not
1:25:58be vegan now that I know all the
1:26:00benefits and now that I know how it
1:26:01feels to be vegan every aspect of my
1:26:04life has been improved by adopting this
1:26:06lifestyle I feel better I perform better
1:26:09athletically I sleep better my energy
1:26:11with my kids is better my focus at work
1:26:14is better everything is better my skin
1:26:15cleared up kept myself trim for 9 years
1:26:19now doing this all I can tell you is
1:26:21that I felt and I continue to feel
1:26:24better than I ever felt before my friend
1:26:26Jason lar and I were the first people to
1:26:29uh do this challenge called epic five
1:26:31which entailed doing Five Iron Man's on
1:26:34five Hawaiian Islands in under a week an
1:26:36Iron Man is a 2.4 mile swim followed by
1:26:39112 mile bike and then running a
1:26:42marathon 26.2 miles after that so we did
1:26:45five of those in a row on five different
1:26:47islands and a little under a week you
1:26:49want die no die so I guess the famous
1:26:53question where did you get your protein
1:26:54in
1:26:55there from
1:26:58plants like so many people I was looking
1:27:00for excuses not to change my diet but
1:27:03once I finally did I felt liberated
1:27:05within days I could feel the blood
1:27:07running through my veins with a new
1:27:08Vitality within weeks I felt a
1:27:10transformation throughout my entire body
1:27:12and mind not only could I survive on a
1:27:15purely plant-based vegan diet I could
1:27:17Thrive I felt amazing I competed in my
1:27:20first marathon in six years training
1:27:22half the amount and beat my personal
1:27:24record by 23 minutes less than a month
1:27:26later I did my first full Iron Man
1:27:29although I could possibly get away with
1:27:31eating a little bit of meat and dairy
1:27:32without ill effects to my personal
1:27:34health I could no longer willingly
1:27:35support an industry I knew was causing
1:27:37so much suffering to communities
1:27:39families and all life on the planet A
1:27:42Whole New World opened up I felt whole
1:27:44again connected to a greater sense of
1:27:46what true health is and where true
1:27:48Health doesn't end with me but begins
1:27:51with us if people adopted a plant-based
1:27:55diet the changes we would see in our
1:27:59individual health in our national health
1:28:02situation and in this physical
1:28:04environmental world we live in would be
1:28:07so profound I mean today you you can say
1:28:11I'm not going to eat that stuff anymore
1:28:13it's the one thing that I can do myself
1:28:15personally to make a difference it will
1:28:18give you a greater sense of well-being
1:28:19and happiness when you know that one
1:28:22you're not destroying your health every
1:28:23time you sit down to eat you're not
1:28:25promoting cruelty and you're not
1:28:27damaging the earth I don't want my gains
1:28:29to be at the detriment of the planet of
1:28:30other things and yet I'm not weaker I'm
1:28:33stronger that's the beauty of it when
1:28:34you're altruistic when you make choices
1:28:35for the greater good of others it comes
1:28:37around benefits me as well it benefits
1:28:39us all studies show that we can not only
1:28:41survive but we can Thrive I just feel
1:28:44this is a great way to live not harming
1:28:46other beings when we can be healthy and
1:28:49happier I love it it's a great life
1:28:52I never thought that I could feel this
1:28:54good at this age and I just want
1:28:56everybody to feel this way I feel like a
1:28:5920-year-old I'm almost 50 nothing tastes
1:29:02as good as healthy feels basically and
1:29:05so the choices that we make every single
1:29:07day day in and day out around our food
1:29:09has the capacity to bring us true health
1:29:12and Optimal Wellness not just
1:29:14individually but collectively as a
1:29:16species and for our planet we're not
1:29:19going to live forever but while we are
1:29:21alive we can live well and for me as a
1:29:24doctor that's what I want to see where
1:29:26there's a wheel there is a
1:29:28way and I believe
