The average American now has an excess of 23 pounds of body weight.
Heart disease and stroke will take away
the lives of 460,000 American women.
69 grams of fat.
12 gr more still save

if you eat a stick of butter.
We're talking about diabetes and hypertension and bone disease, osteoporosis.
Prostate cancer is now the most common cancer in American men.
said the doctor we really need to reduce eat red and processed meat.
and arterial sclerosis and cancer
And autoimmune diseases.
The number of type2 diabetes in children is unprecedented
and we start looking at hypertension
in our children in elementary school.
If you want to know, 2,120 calories.
Obviously the western diet has risks.
This should open all of our eyes.
We have a growing problem,
and the growth is us.
Food! It's the center of our lives and traditions.
Every special event always involves food and entertainment.
But can the same food,
Including what we think is good for our health,
turns out to be the cause of some our serious health problems?
Indeed, we face a major health crisis .
No less than 40% of people America is currently obese,
and about half of us are drug consumers.
statin, Lipitor,
is the most commonly prescribed drug in the world.
Nearly 1 in 5 children America is 4 years old
suffering from obesity.
Although Mexican and American children are and African-American still more likely to have an excess weight.
This will be the first generation of children Americans who live shorter lives than their parents.
We spend $ 2.2 trillion / year for health,
five times the defense budget.
In fact, our health budget is more expensive from any industrial country in the world,
but we still continue to get sick.
see, the budget is not for the healthy,
or dead. The money
in the middle, those who live, that kind of thing,
but with one or more chronic conditions.
Obesity, diabetes, heart disease,
High blood pressure
all health problems that are related to diet It costs more than of 120 billion dollars / year.
every minute, 1 person in America
die of heart disease.
1500 people / day died of cancer.
In total, these 2 diseases kill
more than 1 million people Americans every year.
Diabetes cases skyrocket,
especially in our young generation.
- Diabetes. - Diabetes.
Diabetes is life threatening.
1 of 3 people who were born in the US today
potentially paralyzed during life.
Millions more suffer
a number of degenerative diseases.
Millions more are so obsessed with sugar,
coffee, and energy drinks
which is the mask of our chronic fatigue.
But maybe there is a single solution
for all these problems?
Such a comprehensive solution, directly,
Isn't it confusing, we are still
haven't seriously responded?
Someone must stand up and say the answer
is no longer a pill.
The answer is spinach.
More and more researchers claim
That if we remove, or reduce a lot,
mashed, processed, and animal-based foods
we can prevent and, in certain cases, even reverse some of our worst diseases.
He said, we only need to change the whole meal,
with a plant-based diet.
sounds too simple to be true.
You might not expect someone like me
explores the relationship between diet and disease.
During the trip, I drank these two Red Bulls.
I also have a 12 ounce Coke
and half a 12-ounce Coke.
I don't always
Live a healthy lifestyle.
And I eat fast food more than my portion.
But as my effort learn more about the relationship
between food and health,
I visited two doctors in Los Angeles,
Dr. Matt Lederman and Dr. Alona Pulde.
- Hi. - How are you & apos;
- Lee Fulkerson. - Lee, nice to meet you.
Nice to meet you too.
This is Dr. Pulde.
Hi, Dr. Pulde. Nice to meet you too.
Both are M.Ds.
Dr. Lederman expert internal medicine
and Dr. Pulde in family practice. (general practitioner?)
They enter all plant-based nutritional standards for the treatment of their patients.
So let's start there,
Then we talk.
142/82.
It's far more than I thought.
Like many Americans,
I think my health is pretty good.
There is no danger of disease I know.
But lately I haven't had a thorough check-up,
so I decided to do it.
When Dr. Lederman gave me the result,
it amazes me.
I'm quite surprised.
I'm really worried with my blood pressure.
240 and 241 for cholesterol
never been that high before.
I got 6.
That, for me, is the most worrying number I got.
number 6 is the result
from what is called the CRP test,
which measures inflammation in the liver and blood pressure.
Makes me enter the category of high risk of heart attack.
So I joined the nutrition program 12 weeks
under the supervision of Dr. Lederman.
The plan is to treat my health problems
by eating whole foods, plant-based diet.
"Let the food be the medicine." (Hippocrates)
The idea of using nutrition
for health it's not new.
Indeed, Hippocrates,
Father of ancient western Greek medicine
said, "let food be your medicine," more than 2,000 years ago.
But only lately
The science behind this observation
systematically examined and applied.
2 researchers who have made innovative contributions
in this effort Dr. Colin Campbell
and Dr. Caldwell Esselstyn.
Born only separated several months in 1933 and & apos; 34,
they grew up on a farm.
farms in Campbell's childhood are rural Virginia,
his family raised broiler and dairy cows.
My mother and father moved here in 1943
when I was 9 years old.
And at that time, the cows we had
around 20-30 cows,
which at that time was quite large.
At that time, milk was believed to be
perfect food from nature.
So perfect, until the government films it since the beginning of the 20th century recommended babies
who have just been weaned from their mother's milk
Have to switch immediately to cow's milk.
That's the joy of doing something,
producing perfect natural food, if you want.
Founded in 1675,
Esselstyn farm is in New York.
on this hillside,
they raise cattle and dairy farms.
This can be considered central
operation?
More or less, of course.
This is a kind of epicenter, these barns.
This is the way to farm at that time.
So this is the kind of place you study
Crafts... trade.
Agricultural trade.
your age when you moved here?
7
I just started driving a tractor
at the age of 8 years.
it's too late, huh?
Yes, exactly.
I enjoyed it,
and I really got a big kick by raising.
Although at that time they had not known each other yet,
influential agricultural life deep and strong
on Campbell and Esselstyn.
to be successful, you must be diligent,
tough, and consistent in purpose.
I think it's ironic because of us
recommends for not to consume products
we have ever produced with our family.
in the days of Campbell and Esselstyn,
American diet changes dramatically.
Near the beginning of the 20th century,
every American eats about 120 pounds of meat / year.
in 2007, the number exploded
no less than 222 pounds.
in 1913, we ate around 40kg
processed sugar annually.
But in 1999,
our consumption of all soft sweeteners Increases to more than 147 pounds.
in 1909, Americans consumed
around 294 pounds of every dairy product.
But in 2006, the annual intake of our dairy products
more than double that at 605 pounds.
early 1950s, Campbell to college at Penn State
while Esselstyn to Yale.
As part of the Yale rowing team,
Esselstyn won the Olympic gold medal in 1956.
in the same decade,
the pace of American life is accelerating,
including our food.
the end of the 50s is the heyday of the burger franchise & drive-in & apos;
A new supermarket is starting to develop built after World War II.
that's when & apos; delicious food & apos; born,
like & apos; TV Dinner & apos; the legendary foil wrap ,
not to mention a number of other delicious -processed dishes
designed so that our lives are easier and better.
Right now, Colin Campbell
at graduate school at Cornell University,
which has one department
the most prestigious nutrition science in America.
His research is about animal and biochemical nutrition.
But it is more focused on breastfeeding animals Because of its ability to produce
meat, milk and eggs, produce protein.
So my own research is focused on protein,
make sure we don't lack (protein).
is considered a vital nutrient.
is one of the first nutrients found without protein, animals will die,
so that is life force.
In fact, in the early 1900s,
there is a statement that
protein is civilization itself.
Protein is also almost always identical
with animal foods like meat .
To this day throughout America.
Why is it that for you meat is important in our diet?
Protein.
- Protein. - Protein.
- Protein. - Lots of protein in it.
We need protein, right?
You can't live without protein.
The idea that plants have protein
also doesn't appear
until the late 1800s, early 1900s,
and continues to be resisted for years.
No matter where the protein comes from,
in the late 1950s, most scientists were convinced
The world needs more than that.
there is a lot of hunger
and malnourished children in the world.
And so in my community, in the nutrition community,
there is a discussion about & apos; why is that. & apos;
You know, what can we do?
And one of the most prominent thoughts is making sure they can get enough protein.
I certainly agree this view.
At the same time,
Dr. Caldwell Esselstyn just started
his medical career
at the famous Cleveland Clinic in Cleveland, Ohio.
Surgery then becomes his specialty.
Some are satisfying when
You can get rid of diseases.
For example, if the patient has gallstones
You can throw it away.
If it's a gastric ulcer or gastric ulcer,
You can immediately take care of it.
Likewise hernias.
During the 1960s,
heart disease increases in America
the doctor usually calls "coronary artery disease"
generally caused by arterial condition
which supplies blood to the heart.
What always happens is,
Fat in the bloodstream called cholesterol
accumulates in coronary arteries,
blocks blood flow to the heart.
This can eventually cause some problems,
from chronic chest pain, called angina,
until a heart attack.
Cholesterol is a natural substance
all animals, including humans ,
and is an important component our cell wall.
But when we consume cholesterol foods,
which is only found in animal foods such as meat, eggs and dairy products ,
it tends to survive in blood flow.
This is the collected plaque in our veins
and is the main cause coronary artery disease.
in the late 1960s, colleague Dr. Esselstyn
at Cleveland Clinic made a big breakthrough
in the treatment of this disease.
In fact, Esselstyn works with him
in the surgical clinic dressing room.
His name is Dr. Rene Favaloro.
Rene is very bright in the operating room.
In 1967, he did the first graft cut in the clinic... coronary artery bypass graft.
This revolutionary new procedure
Achieved by taking a vein from the patient's foot,
then sew it to the heart the blocked coronary artery
so that blood can flow past the blockage.
Today, more than 500,000 Americans are dissected every year
for heart bypass surgery.
for $ 100,000 / patient,
own operation spend
almost 50 billion dollars.
Joey Aucoin lives in Tampa, Florida,
he owns and runs a landscaping company there.
I'm telling everyone... everyone's jokes about me are:
I don't eat for life, I live to eat.
And I... during my life, I ate whatever I wanted.
in 2004, the doctor found
Joey 320 high cholesterol levels
and sugar content at 480.
it doesn't just make it become type 2 diabetics,
but the main candidate for heart attack and stroke.
This is my regiment pill of the day.
Um, 2 pills for my diabetes.
Then 1 for cholesterol, 1 again for high blood pressure,
Then Byetta, which is injection medicine,
every morning before breakfast and every night before dinner.
And I've done it for almost 4 years now.
And I know that makes me tired,
and I just... I just don't feel normal.
I only sleep 4 hours every night.
I just hate to swallow it.
in the mid 1960s,
Dr. Campbell is in the Philippines,
try to get more protein
for millions of malnourished children.
to keep costs low,
he and his colleagues decided not to use animal protein.
This program starts shows success.
But then, Dr. Campbell stumbles an information
which is very important.
centered on a prosperous family in the Philippines,
where food consumption is relatively high.
But at the same time, they turned out
have a child who
susceptible to liver cancer.
This is very unusual,
because liver cancer is usually found in adults.
But the fact that this happens to children
there is something here.
quite significant.
Shortly thereafter, Dr. Campbell
publish a scientific paper
Published in a not-so-famous Indian medical journal .
contains details of the work he did
in a number of experimental mice
the first to be exposed to carcinogen named aflatoxin,
then fed casein, the main protein in milk.
They test the effects of protein in the development of liver cancer.
They use two different levels of protein.
20% of total calories,
then lower, only 5%.
20% turn on cancer, 5% turns it off.
This Indian Journal,
Together with what Dr. Campbell has learned about increasing liver cancer in children
who consume animal food,
combined into a defining moment for his work also his life.
Because we found that animal protein
Very good at turning cancer.
at the same time,
the way America eats has changed, again.
the number of fast-food franchises explodes
because of the increasing number of Americans
use it as a convenient
for him to eat, also his family.
While the fast food revolution sweeps the nation,
deaths from cancer in America
continues to increase.
As a result, in 1971,
President Richard Nixon started the program
which was dubbed the "War on Cancer."
We are here today for
signing Cancer Cancer Act of 1971. & apos;
And I hope in the coming years
that we will see back to today
that this action is the most significant action taken during this administration.
On the front line this new war
is Caldwell Esselstyn.
in 1978, he became chairman Breast Cancer Task Force
at the Cleveland clinic.
But he immediately began to doubt
the medical procedure which he uses.
No matter how much this operation
I did it for breast cancer sufferers,
I don't do a single thing
for those who have not been infected.
Then Dr. Esselstyn starts investigating
global statistics on breast cancer.
One of the facts he found
is that breast cancer in Kenya
much lower than United States.
In fact, in 1978, was probably a woman
breast cancer in Kenya
82 times lower than America
Dr. Esselstyn was even more surprised by the numbers he found in several other types of cancer.
Throughout Japan in 1958,
how many deaths
due to prostate cancer?
18.
18 throughout Japan.
That, for me, is very confusing a form of public health that I think I'll ever experience.
in the same year, US population
Only about twice Japan,
but the number of prostate cancer deaths
more than 14,000.
Dr. Esselstyn also found that
early 1970, risk of heart disease in rural China
12 times lower than US
And in the Papua New Guinea highlands,
heart disease is rarely found.
The relationship between all the area he studied was simple.
Western diet is almost nothing there.
there are no animal products.
They don't have milk, meat.
a more interesting one for Esselstyn
are some historical data that have long been ignored.
During World War II, Germany occupied Norway.
the first thing they did was confiscating
all cattle and livestock
to supply their troops.
Norway is forced to eat plant foods.
Let's look at Norwegian mortality rates,
only in this period,
due to heart attack and stroke.
1927, 1930, & apos; 35.
Look right here.
Right at the top, 1939.
Bingo! Come German.
Immediately, 1940, wow.
& apos; 41, & apos; 42, & apos; 43, & apos; 44, & apos; 45.
Have we ever seen a population that has
has a decrease in cardiovascular disease
like this with statins,
bypass operation,
or from a stent?
No
But see what happens soon.
With the cessation of the 1945 war,
there is more meat, milk,
strokes and heart attacks also return.
I mean, that's really an absolute example, good lesson.
But, we don't understand it.
Because of evidence like this,
Dr. Esselstyn made the same rating
like Dr. Campbell on his work in the Philippines,
see the causal relationship between animal foods
and some of the most deadly diseases.
But not only they are researchers who has this conclusion.
namely Dr. John McDougall.
mid-1970s,
he started practicing on a sugar plantation in Hawaii.
what I found is public health
dramatically different dependent
how long have they been in Hawaii.
those who grew up in Japan, Philippines, Korea, China,
The first generation who moved from their homeland,
always slim, never has heart disease,
prostate cancer, intestine cancer, breast cancer,
rheumatoid arthritis, multiple sclerosis,
never been overweight.
when ages 80 and 90 is still healthy.
Their children start getting a little fat, a little sick.
Their grandchildren in the next generation just as fat and sick as everything I've seen.
And what is quite clear is the difference in eating.
The first generation has learned to eat rice and vegetables in their homeland.
But children, they start to reject rice and replace it with animal food,
dairy products, meat,
and the results are clear.
They get fat and sick.
at that time I knew, was the main cause of the disease.
however, at that time Campbell and Esselstyn
I don't know anything about this information.
Even so, they finally reached a revolutionary conclusion...
that many of these paralysis conditions
can be reduced, if is not completely eradicated,
only by eating whole foods, plant-based diet.
This means eating foods that are mainly sourced
complete and minimal process
such as fruits, vegetables, grains , and nuts.
This also means avoiding animal foods like meat, milk and eggs,
as well as processed foods such as flour bleached,
refined sugar and oil.
Campbell and Esselstyn research in this field
will change their lives forever.
"Doctors in the future no longer treat humans with drugs, but instead cure and prevent diseases with nutrition." (Thomas Edison)
I read your initial form.
My goal... let me know if it's missed...
get rid of the injection and your medicine.
You want to get away from it.
want to sleep well at night.
You can't.
get tired and tired.
reduce weight.
- That's it. You already know. - So that's your target.
your energy is a little, ears are ringing,
sinus problems, post nasal drip , shortness of breath,
wheezing, coughing, digestive disorders , and reflux,
loose stools, diarrhea, bloating,
black stools and bleeding after consuming meat,
difficulty walking,
difficult to lose weight, chronic hunger,
Grogi after eating, always wants to chew,
eating anxiety in general.
All of that... sounds like I'm dead.
So I don't mean, you know,
give you bad things, but, you know,
it's all... most will improve.
I added my target what is your target?
reversing all your medical ailments,
that we can turn it around,
and most can.
I told you all the risks and benefits.
Based on that, I want to stop all these drugs.
I'll stop this, with all the risks.
Okay, I tried.
I will do it... my best effort.
I can promise that. You will be able to.
You will do it well.
In 1975, Dr. Campbell at Cornell University,
examine the findings while in the Philippines.
from the start, our work was designed,
in a sense, to do two main things.
One, I want to imitate, if possible, works in India,
because it's so provocative.
Second, if this is really true,
I want to learn how does it work?
Just like Indian researchers ,
Campbell feed half the mouse
20% casein,
the main protein in dairy products.
The other half is only 5% casein.
For 12 weeks of research,
eating mice that have high protein diets
the initial growth of liver cancer tumors is very high.
On the other hand, eating only 5% protein
nothing has been proven to have cancer.
But Dr. Campbell decided
bring this finding further.
This time, instead of continuing to give the test mouse
with the same diet during the study,
he made them one group
and change the diet between 5% and 20%,
with a three-week interval.
The results are astounding.
Every time rats are given 20% protein,
the initial growth of an exploding liver tumor.
But when the same mouse is given 5% protein,
tumor growth really drops.
I mean, this is very provocative, this information.
We can turn off cancer growth
Only by adjusting protein intake.
5% to 20%
is the general number of Americans.
Study of carcinogen chemicals cause cancer
done at the level
maybe 3 or 4 levels higher
than we experience.
Even more surprising,
Dr. Campbell found that 20% diet
plant proteins from soybeans and wheat
does not trigger cancer.
However, there are old beliefs in the community
that animal protein is important for human health.
Connie Diekman supports this.
Ms. Diekman is the director of nutrition
at Washington University in St. Louis , Missouri.
He is the former President of the American Dietetic Association,
and National Dairy Council advisor.
when you remove animal elements from your diet,
You're at risk for protein shortages.
Animal protein gives all amino acids
what we need for cell growth,
network repair, and overall health.
Eating whole foods is almost impossible can lack protein without lacking calories too.
Because even if you select food
the least protein
say potatoes, for example, or rice.
You know, 8%, 9%.
the number that we need is approximately.
Dr. Campbell's research brings it to conclusions about genes, chemicals,
and interacting nutrition produces cancer.
Cancer starts with genes.
Maybe the innate gene,
may change due to chemicals,
so that the genes can produce cancer cells.
we have cancer or not
very much related to the way we treat
Cancer cells grow over time.
That's where the role of nutrition plays.
cells grow faster when is fed animal protein.
Dr Campbell and other nutrition scientists
found that only a few cases of cancer
which is only due to genes.
General Consensus in my research
maybe no more than 1% or 2% the most
related to cancerous genes or not.
And that is the most information
It is useful and gives hope to people.
Because if you
thinking what happened to you in terms of health based on genes,
it's like giving up.
My diet is quite cruel.
I think of 2 main food groups
caffeine and sugar.
Dr. Pam Popper is executive director
Wellness Forum in Columbus, Ohio,
and experts in the field of health and nutrition.
women in my family are all overweight. I do not.
I don't eat and live like they do, you know.
So, I have changed my health destiny By not being involved in the same habits.
Over the next few years,
Dr. Campbell starts broader lab studies
use various animal and vegetable nutrients.
The results are consistent:
Nutrition from animal foods triggers cancer growth,
while nutrients from plant foods reduce cancer growth.
But Campbell doesn't identify certain biological mechanisms cause of this effect.
And finally it occurred to me
that the mechanism does not exist.
what we see is a symphony mechanism.
We think nutrition is
individual nutrition.
And that is the way to marketing it the way the company tells us,
When, in fact, nutrition,
cooperate with each other create this symphony,
hundreds of thousands
types of chemicals in food,
works well together.
I mean, total complexity.
That is a holistic concept.
And I have to tell myself, is a very interesting idea.
Dr. Campbell realized
that the discovery is in the lab
very significant, but limited.
How are these findings relevant in the community?
How about various types of food
Does it affect cancer and other diseases?
Campbell needs large-scale population studies.
He will soon find a perfect opportunity.
So mangoes are really good.
It feels really good.
- OK. - That's something...
You want more mature ones.
Dr. Matt Lederman and his wife, Dr. Alona Pulde,
is one of the few doctors that continues to grow
who use whole foods, plant-based diet
As the main medicine for their patients.
From shopping with patients to teach them
how to read nutrition labels...
I don't care about the writing
in front, back or side
See composition.
care about that.
shows patients how to prepare food,
they are not ordinary orthopedics
Doctor Lederman and Pulde use food as medicine
because they feel it is the best medicine available...
which not only heals patients but also improve their health.
1973, US Congress
passed the new agricultural subsidy bill.
These include incentives
which drives a large increase in corn production.
One of the main byproducts of this large surplus of corn
is an inexpensive sweetener named "high fructose corn syrup".
Companies can add this sweetener to anything from soda pop to hot dogs,
and make the product many available and cheap.
Processed sugar and other processed foods
much more calorie dense
from the original source plant.
dramatic increase in its use
is the main reason why our food is now richer.
for evolutionary psychologists and author Dr. Doug Lisle,
consumption of calorie-dense natural foods is the main reason for the obesity epidemic in America.
does not mean people are getting spoiled.
or because they are more lazy than before.
but because & apos; satiety mechanism & apos; they are
has been tricked.
The process starts from
various receptors in the stomach
what helps us measure how much we eat.
there are stretch receptors that help measure
volume of food in our stomach.
We also have density receptors,
help determine calorie density,
or more often called the wealth of our food.
For example, 500 calories natural plant food
filling the entire stomach,
triggers density receptors and stretches
tell our brain that we have enough to eat.
But 500 calories from non-natural foods are rich or processed
less stomach filling,
deceiving receptors to tell the brain
That we need to eat more.
Even worse, 500 oil calories,
which is almost pure fat
barely triggered a response at all.
Problems with weight control in humans
is that if your food is made,
like now,
people have to overeat
just to be full.
But why is this -concentrated food
which is so dangerous for us gives a lot of pleasure?
according to Dr. The answer answer is related to
a system called triad motivation.
This is a trio biological mechanism
nature that exists in every creature on earth
to survive
to the next generation.
first from triad motivation
is looking for pleasure.
And, especially, two things are the cause,
namely food and sex.
on large white sharks,
it's like there's a neon sign blinking on his forehead
say, "Food, sex, food, sex, food, sex."
If male, then is written, "sex, food, sex, food,"
But it's basically the same.
the second from triad motivation
is avoiding pain
and doing something as easy as possible.
seeking pleasure, avoiding pain,
and save energy,
is a summary of animal behavior,
from paramecium under a microscope
until the big white shark.
Foods that are rich, naturally stimulate our senses
because that's how nature tells us they will give the highest intake
with a little effort.
This helps our ancestors find the densest form of calories
and the most recent one is food,
who contribute for our survival.
But now,
we can artificially increase calorie density
far beyond what our ancestors can find in nature.
The food produced gives us pleasure is beyond normal,
point us to something
Dr. Lisle calls: _ pleasure trap. & Apos;
what is trapped is interaction
between our natural instincts,
to tell what to do,
and some kind of modern, artificial stimulation The piggyback or hijacks the process.
classic example of pleasure trap
are narcotics and addictions.
narcotics hijacking
pleasure circuits that exist
when certain chemicals affect the area,
they cause a sense of euphoria and joy .
The same effect occurs
when we eat foods that are high concentrated, processed.
We throw away the fiber, we urinate,
we throw away the mineral.
We do everything
so that the -concentrated sugar and fat
And also salt in food,
and now food has been made
a kind of low grade opium.
That is drugs.
there are also other damaging side effects ,
not a few add many empty calories.
Dr. Terry Mason is a health commissioner
city of Chicago.
He is one of the American public officials which openly supports the plant-based diet.
If it's running, jumping, swimming, crawling, crawling,
have eyes, mom and dad... don't eat it.
Dr. Mason argues
That our people are less prosperous makes it difficult for them to choose the best food.
Well, first of all,
the food is rich in calories and poor in nutrition.
This is a real problem.
And, unfortunately, the poor means poor in everything.
They are poor in health, poor food choices,
they are poor in almost every aspect you can think of.
This makes the less fortunate
very vulnerable to low grade opium processed food.
People want fast,
they want fast,
And they like to be salty,
and they like the taste of something fried.
that's what you can
you see in our society.
San & apera; the Nation lives in a quiet suburb
in Cleveland, Ohio, with five of his children.
In October 2008, he got a strange disease.
I want to say something, but it doesn't come out.
I'm really trembling and sweating,
then I have a fever and ache
feels tired, my stomach hurts and everything.
So I went to the doctor,
That's when I was diagnosed with hypertension and diabetes.
Like Joey Aucoin,
San & apos; was given prescription for expensive drugs.
initially I still denied
I heard what they said, but I like denying.
I still eat forbidden.
I'm not
have the knowledge I need to know,
I really rely on medicine to cure me.
Then San & apos; was thrilled to meet Dr. Esselstyn,
which recommends it to treat the disease by eating whole foods, plant-based diet.
Enter, and we will start.
I'm a little nervous, but it made it easy for me.
I'm really interested in what he said which he will teach me
and a new trip that I will pass with him.
"Those who take medicine but ignore their diet, actually has wasted their doctor's time." (Ancient Chinese proverb)
Between China and United States...
1974, Chinese PM Zhou Enlai
treated in hospital due to bladder cancer.
Know the disease is deadly,
he decided
gives the country a more complete understanding of cancer.
then he starts what will become
one of the biggest scientific studies
and most comprehensive in history.
650,000 researchers cataloged death patterns
due to several types of cancer
between 1973 and 1975.
Research covers all of China
and more than 880 million people.
Zhou died 1976, years before his research was completed.
Okay, and you need how many shirts?
Maybe three?
- Yes. - Well.
Zhou Enlai's cancer study finally has a big impact
Dr. Campbell calls it
as the cornerstone of his research.
Early 1980.
Are you there for 2 or 3 months?
Dr. Junshi Chen is now senior research professor
in the Control Center and Chinese Disease Prevention.
He first met Dr. Campbell at Cornell in 1980,
when he became a member of the Chinese Institute
of Food and Nutrition Science.
The cold war just started to melt,
and Dr. Chen is one of the first Chinese senior scientists who visited United States.
At that time, Dr. Campbell has become
one of the nutrition biochemists the best known in the world.
When they found this book,
Collaboration significant birth.
This is an death atlas due to cancer in China.
Published 1981, & Atlas of Cancer & apos;
is the result of Zhou Enlai's national research.
shows the geographical distribution is very unusual
of various types of cancer in China,
which tends to group in certain locations.
continues to occur from cancer-to-cancer.
And areas with the highest level
often much bigger
from areas with the lowest level.
So, for example, esophageal cancer,
according to this cancer map,
His death is different 400 times
between different regions in China.
- That's big. - Yes.
And in... I understand, in the United States,
the difference is only a few times. Even...
maybe double or more, we see.
Yes, yes. So that caught our attention meaning, why?
Because they are all Chinese.
Genetically, they are the same.
but why are there so many differences in certain cancer deaths?
So we believe it is definitely related to the environment.
Larger environment.
And from our professional perspective,
of course, it's diet and nutrition.
Dr. Chen and I said, you know,
"why don't we go there and do research?"
For Dr Campbell,
that's the opportunity he was looking for.
Among other things, he can examine how his observations
about liver cancer in Filipino children
and findings from the lab study
applied to large human populations.
This project will examine
367 diet and variables that are related to health,
makes it one of the nutrition studies
the most ambitious ever.
Dr. Campbell and his colleagues
choose 65 regions that are spread throughout China.
especially those located in rural areas or semi-rural.
We use rural districts
because the settlement is stable,
and their lifestyle is
since 20-30 years.
More than 350 workers trained.
carefully surveying diet and lifestyle
from 6,500 people in the selected districts.
Urine and blood samples are also taken.
in 1983, doctor Campbell, chen, and their colleague
start analyzing all information
collected.
It took years.
After 8 weeks of consuming plant-based foods,
Joey Aucoin is still stopping all the drugs.
initially, I felt all side effects
from medicine and from all my illnesses.
But now I continue to improve every day.
I feel healthier.
I am rarely tired during the day.
feels so good all the time.
This... this is my own scale.
8 weeks ago was around 218, 220.
Now between 180 and 185.
my belt isn't right.
This one, I have to make it
two new holes, because I really like it.
Nothing is right. I have to shop.
everything, all my clothes.
I have a problem, a good problem.
This is fun for him,
because I thought he was studying
the fact that he saw the results were so big,
that's all... he likes it.
I don't think he will be the same anymore.
He feels so healthy, and he's like...
even if he changes it occasionally,
he feels too healthy, his energy is too good, he looks younger.
And the fact that it must return
on all drugs, you know, if true,
I think there's a big motivation
for him to maintain that lifestyle.
mid 1980s, Dr. Caldwell Esselstyn
is currently researching
coronary artery disease.
a group of patients is applied
A low-fat plant-based diet,
with a little low-fat meat
and as little as possible cholesterol-lowering drugs.
And slowly for 18 months,
I got 24 patients I needed.
But they sent me.
the disease is a little more severe than I thought.
they are patients who failed first or second bypass operation
first or second angioplasty operation.
There are even 5 patients who
according to their cardiologist
it's not a year away.
One of the patients who has the most serious disease
is a teacher of communication and speech 59 years old,
Evelyn oswick.
I eat all chocolate and candy,
all donuts that I can achieve.
I like everything like that,
lots of snacking.
Then, um, I got...
2 times a heart attack before meeting Dr. Esselstyn.
during a second heart attack,
the doctor said I have to prepare with death,
so he said.
And I looked at him and said,
"what do you mean you want me to buy
rocking chair, sit
shake it and wait?"
And he just saw me and said,
"yes, that's what I meant."
Anthony Yen was born and big in China
And we eat like Chinese culture in general
a very small piece of meat
in the slices again, and it is cooked as a spice
not your American style,
You eat very large pieces of meat,
enough to eat a family in China.
And in China we eat a lot of vegetables.
And we have soup.
But once I'm in the United States,
You start feeling fast food.
Hamburger and cheese burger, pizza.
And I see my weight starts to rise.
when Mr. Yen is 56 years old,
he suddenly experienced severe chest pain.
at that time, I lived open heart surgery.
I have 5 bypasses... 5.
But it's very interesting.
About a week later,
I feel my chest tight again.
So my wife and I met Dr. Esselstyn.
I monitor all patients myself every 2 weeks in the first 5 years.
on that visit, we will take
full cholesterol lipid profile.
blood pressure, weight,
and I arrange each piece of their food.
use simple food
as the patient's main drug,
Dr. Esselstyn goes beyond expensive high-tech system
strong rooted in large pharmacy
and big government.
You know, behind,
I'm known as Dr. Sprouts.
But I think I've always liked challenges.
We heat the oven, remove the water.
I added some spices.
Then we add onion and spinach.
I never woke up in the morning.
And, but before experiencing this,
um, it might be worse than before.
but the need to wake up every morning
I finally need caffeine
with soda and energy drinks and the like,
before I can even think or start working.
We don't make rice noodles,
but can boil it fast
then pour this on it.
Right, right.
He eats more often but the right food, and reduced weight.
he certainly feels much better like that.
you can see on your face, neck,
and, on his stomach.
all... he lost a lot of weight.
He also has better energy.
Um, he woke up early now.
That's good, because we got it in the morning together.
I don't need to carry anything.
you're the doctor.
1990.
After almost a decade intense effort,
Dr. Campbell and his colleagues
finally publish their studies in China.
identifies no less than 94,000 correlation
between diet and disease.
large numbers for any study.
And in the end,
when we did all the correlations in this book here,
we see the amount
statistically significant,
between 8,000 and 9,000.
when there are large correlations
You have to analyze one by one,
is it statistically significant,
means if 19 of 20
points to the same direction,
it's very significant
and very likely is the truth.
Hundreds of details tables and graphs is in the study.
Each presents raw data collected.
then this information is in & apos; cross & apos;
in various ways to ensure reliability
and to show the relation with 367 variables
tested in the study.
I think the main message
of all these correlation analyzes
only one.
Vegetable food based diets,
Especially nuts, vegetables, and fruits,
and very little animal food is always associated with a low death rate from certain cancers,
stroke, and coronary heart disease.
The New York Times calls it
the most comprehensive large study ever done
from the relationship between diets
And the risk of developing the disease "
for Dr. Campbell, he finally had a large scale data for the community,
and it was very consistent with previous findings
Together, he found that scientific evidence is clear: whole plant foods are beneficial for human health,
while animals are not. San & apos; journey for better health not easy at first.
rather difficult, because I eat food fat fat and the like for 38 years,
as I recall,
it becomes rather difficult to leave it
to be able to change everything the next day.
I started making journals, maybe in the first three weeks,
write down my feelings and emotions what do I think... for someone else
know that feeling is normal.
on the way,
San & apos; get strong support from Dr. Esselstyn
and his wife Ann.
They keep in touch, and them,
"We haven't forgotten you yet,"
and I know they don't forget.
I really feel they don't forget me here.
"I'm going to Wal-Mart today
" I want a subway sandwich,
"I think I'll buy meatballs on the subway
" then I get a call when at Wal-Mart
"from Mrs. Esselstyn,
" as if they knew I was weak at this time.
He said, "promise me
you won't eat anything when you get home from Wal-Mart."
makes me shiver because he called at that time
that's why I left the shop
Without buying the meatballs. "
What did you see
When Dr. Campbell published the results of his study in China,
Dr. Esselstyn got some strong data
from research that he started since in 1985.
He started with 24 patients,
but 6 came out in the first year,
so the total patients were only 18.
at the end of the fifth year, we followed up on the angiogram,
And 11 people have stopped the disease (the disease) has not developed. And in 4 other patients, we have rather interesting evidence
from disease regression.
These results are surprising.
Diet produces something the drug can't be done medicine and surgery reversal of real heart disease.
the mechanism of biology that causes reversal is
the center of the lining of blood vessels and our arteries...
endothelial cells.
it's a savior vest
our veins.
if you are young, teenager, your endothelial cells are healthy,
You can have thick layers,
endotel
which can cover 6-8 tennis courts.
1988, scientists discovered
that endothelial cells produce
nitric oxide gas.
what is the function of nitric oxide?
Nitric oxide makes our blood flow smoothly
smoothly.
it also helps to dilate narrowed blood vessels
during physical activity
and inhibits plaque formation.
And most importantly, nitric oxide is power to eliminate inflammation
That will be carried away with him.
However, scientific tests have shown
that when we start eating a typical Western diet,
Our endothelial cells are damaged.
when you were in your 40s, 50s and 60s,
and you have slaughtered your endothelial cells,
You don't have 6 or 8 tennis courts anymore.
maybe only one half or two,
and it can't protect you.
Even though according to Dr. Esselstyn,
when we start eating whole foods, the plant-based diet,
Endothelial cell damage doesn't just stop,
but also backwards.
About 5 years of study,
Esselstyn makes changes small but significant
in the patient menu.
It started in 1990,
as he read the brilliant review Dr. Campbell's study in China
in the New York Times.
Dr. Esselstyn sees it,
he invited me to the conference
yes it is in Arizona.
these two revolutionaries,
which at that time was on the same line but separate
finally face to face.
On the one hand, I came from a scientific group,
generate ideas.
It comes from clinical route
do some dramatic research.
This is the knowledge, this is clinical evidence.
combine the two, amazing.
when he learned from Campbell's research,
Esselstyn removes dairy products from the patient's diet.
The results of the research that took place are increasingly impressive,
in 1995, he published a paper
specify it in the notes scientific journal.
But one of the most successful stories Esselstyn is extraordinary
involving his colleague at the Cleveland clinic,
Dr. Joseph Crowe.
Actually, I, um, are active, healthy,
very busy,
mid 40s, really, um, there are no risk factors
at all for heart problems.
But Dr. Crowe, even with what is considered
healthy cholesterol levels,
actually hit by heart disease.
This angiogram,
taken after his first heart attack almost fatal in 1996,
how severe damage it looks one of his coronary arteries.
This angiogram is done after less than 3 years
plant-based treatment.
Dr. Lucky Crowe.
In 25% of cases, sudden death
Is the first and only sign coronary artery disease.
18 patients Dr. Esselstyn,
all successful passes 12 years of research.
Today, 14 patients are still alive more than two decades after research began.
about Essy, even though he always is very pleasant,
when you say, "I will join this program"
and I will still obey this diet, "
continue the diet, or & apos; there the door is. hard =
that's why I'm still alive.
But, you know, he's just...
He's just an amazing guy.
And I see photos...
Some of my photos, 20 years ago
really looks older than today.
except for his hair, you know?
Anthony and other male patients
also noted other changes.
when you were young,
teenager,
seeing women and the like, we are excited.
first reaction physically,
you know, try to pull it attention, you know?
& apos; Raise the flag, & apos; I call it that.
This happened to us, other patients
Dr. Esselstyn, I call them Guinea pigs (lab).
& apos; Flags are still up. & apos;
Talk to your doctor about e.D.
Maybe the last thing you want to do,
but that is certainly useful.
I'm a urology practitioner
for the past 25 years.
And erectile dysfunction actually
first clinical indicator
in cardiovascular disease.
like a walnut in a coal mine.
makes you know
That you have a significant endothelial problem
and vascular disease,
much earlier than a heart attack
or something.
don't think that
the body is fragmented. Not.
Blood flows throughout the body.
so if you have a problem veins in one place,
it's everywhere too.
Although the success of the dietary approach is clear,
some critics say if the way to eat is extreme.
like this, with a Western style diet,
what guarantees you will be?
half a million people in this country this year
will be split in half the front of the body,
the heart is opened,
veins from the legs taken
and sewn into their hearts.
Some people think it's extreme too.
Dr. Esselstyn now managed to treat
250 more heart disease patients,
with an exclusive whole food method, a plant-based diet.
Heart disease, which I know,
is a toothless tiger from paper
which should never exist.
And if there is one, it should never develop.
Las Vegas, Nevada.
at the Couture Extreme gym,
we found extraordinary plant athletes...
champion Ultimate Fighter, Mac Danzig.
In the world of mixed martial arts,
strength, toughness, and durability are important factors, and Mac have everything.
I haven't drunk milk since I was 18 years old,
um, because I have...
my ears, nose, and throat are allergic to milk,
I can get a lot of ear infections things like that.
So when I get rid of it, the only thing
Which doesn't make me vegetarian is chicken and fish.
I still eat it for years,
and I eat it because I think I need it,
because everyone said that, you know,
if you are an athlete, you need,
at least chicken and fish in your diet for protein.
You know, one myth
which has been rooted so far.
I just have to get rid of chicken and fish,
just like that.
I think it's a common stereotype,
Thinking that vegan is like,
skinny hippies,
and, you know, I don't always
try breaking the stereotype.
I just... tried this diet for personal reasons,
and it works for me,
feels more energetic
and since I didn't eat animal products.
I also feel faster recovering after training.
I don't intend to join some kind of exclusive club
or something.
only works, and, um,
You know, don't plan to eat meat or milk Or something like that all my life.
this guide is called planning guide type "a".
the inside is existing food
in 4 basic food groups,
because we care about total daily needs,
and this part of it.
We have to serve 1/2 lt. fresh liquid milk
for adequate calcium, riboflavin,
and other nutrients that are needed by our children.
For decades,
the dairy industry and the government.
states that milk is good for our bones.
While food is whole contains calcium,
essential nutrients for bone health,
but he said, we need more
and it is in milk.
Children and elderly women in particular
has been devoted to drinking more and more and more milk.
what do you think are the most important nutrients
do we get from milk?
Calcium.
- Calcium. - Calcium.
Calcium.
Science in terms of the role of milk in bone health strong enough,
And, in fact, the national osteoporosis foundation,
of course, use that knowledge in their recommendations.
Osteoporosis is degenerative bone disease,
which is associated with with a lack of calcium.
If this is true, countries with high dairy product intake,
which is the main source of calcium in the western diet,
You should have low osteoporosis.
But according to a study
conducted by Harvard researchers,
countries with high calcium intake
tends to be high level hip fracture,
Which is the key indicator of osteoporosis.
And, in fact, the higher milk consumption,
the higher the level of osteoporosis...
exactly the opposite of the milk industry
tell us all this time.
One of the main mechanisms for that is that animal protein tends to make body conditions like acid
is called metabolic acidosis.
To overcome this condition,
the body removes the most available acid buffer,
that is calcium in our bones.
When calcium is extracted to neutralize excess acid,
Our bones are weakened.
to maintain milk health benefits,
many national health organizations are now recommending
so we consume low-fat milk.
may be milk, yogurt,
cheese, anything made from milk.
But again, the message is important,
message from
American Dietetic Association,
National Osteoporosis Foundation, Cancer, Heart,
we all agree
must be low or fat free.
so the fat is taken,
The protein becomes bigger than the total proportion.
protein gets higher, fat is lower.
And when we compare high-milk milk,
this low fat, for example,
with prostate cancer,
the relationship is as strong as
smoking and lung cancer.
Most of this is not yet a cow.
still a girl, not a cow yet.
I don't have the first calf yet.
Not yet.
they must have the first calf not breastfeeding.
after breastfeeding,
they will be made, today,
continuous pregnancy
for 3-4 years.
Why are they eating grass now?
this is their last time
can see grass.
After this they are in the warehouse,
standing for life.
when we were young, we defended our products,
promote it,
because it's the most perfect natural food.
that's my belief.
but it turns back and forth over time.
I mean, it's indeed perfect food for calves.
And try replacing milk one species to another species
that doesn't make sense.
Only in 2 months of treatment,
San & apos; experienced a dramatic effect in type 2 diabetes and hypertension.
since undergoing a plant-based diet,
my blood pressure is good.
My blood sugar is in the 80s.
This surprised me, 70s.
I was worried at 60.
"ah, isn't it bad at 60 !?"
I talked to a diabetes consultant,
it turns out good.
he said, "no, that's normal blood sugar.
Your pancreas is working, it's flipping"
Ironically, San & apos; in outpatient facilities for diabetic patients
But the care is
successful in diabetes comes from outside the medical system that was built
The positive results far exceed
Chronic illness San & apos; mentally, there is no lethargy anymore,
fears of disease will develop
Because I feel I have control
and the power to choose the right path now.
So, mentally, it feels great.
I eat what I have to eat.
One thing Ann told me and that's true,
"You really started tasting
the real taste of your food,"
when eating peaches, you will think...
I'm in heaven with my white peach.
I can eat,
and it feels good to eat,
reduce sugar,
weight,
everything changes.
I think we are a bit dependent to doctors and our medicines.
We must be a little more responsible and check it yourself.
And talk about doctors and drugs,
what is the opinion of regular doctors San & apos; dera
about his new lifestyle?
when I first met him
talking about my blood sugar that's so good,
my question is, "may I not take my medicine?"
he said, "no, you still have to drink it."
And he said, "what did the doctor try to do?"
get rid of all your medicine? "
And precisely, " yes, I hope that's...
The goal. "
So there are still those who have to we change the faith, yes.
Sally and Jim have breakfast around 7:00
breakfast is good from good basic food.
Today , they have milk, cereal, boiled eggs, and orange slices. They start the day right. The body is the key to determining
nutrition guidelines for America
is the Department of Agriculture United States.
USDA help determine food offerings
for our army on the battlefield
until our children are in the school canteen.
This guideline also is taught in its schools,
influence what they eat
for the rest of their lives.
Dr. David Klurfeld is a nutrition scientist
and chair of the National Program for Human Nutrition
with the USDA agricultural research service.
We have made diet
recommendations since the 1890s, from USDA
And that's before we know about vitamins and minerals.
Next, we've different food groups,
there are 4 bases (4 healthy)
and 5 and 7 and 12,
and more diverse as science changes.
Probably the best known from food groups
is "4 basis," was introduced in 1956
in the leaflet called "Food for fitness"
Mainstay in nutrition education for more than 30 years,
4 basic is
what is believed to be whole
American generation, healthy to eat.
4 food groups were replaced in 1992
by "Food Pyramid," then is updated by "My Pyramid."
This guide recommends
3 servings of dairy products / day,
and meat is still the main protein source.
In following "My Pyramid," 15-year-old girl
can eat a daily menu in the form of
bowl & apos; Lucky Charm & apos; and low-fat milk
and a glass of orange juice concentrate for breakfast,
cheese flavored chips for morning snacks,
cheeseburger with whole wheat bread
with fries and coke for lunch,
chocolate pudding and wine for afternoon snacks,
and chicken nuggets with biscuits
and canned green beans for dinner
and low-fat ice cream for washing your mouth.
I now understand what happened in our way
feed lots of our children in our school system.
We need not be surprised to see obesity
at this level.
Dr. Neal Barnard is a medical researcher
and president Physicians Committee
for Responsible Medicine
Well, the problem is, when kids draw trays waiting in line for lunch at school,
You will see the federal role policy.
There's a burger on top of cheese,
subsidized milk.
But vegetables and fruits, are a little difficult to find.
And this is because of the government contract
in particular meat producers
and other manufacturers too.
children's health has nothing to do.
but financial health from
large agribusiness entities.
we have USDA
as a farmer advocacy organization.
And, okay it's fine,
but the USDA cannot vocate farmers,
help subsidize its operations,
managing food commodities,
or subsidizing plant prices,
then turn around and say,
"Okay, we tell the people what to eat."
They tell what to eat
based on their constituents,
farmers and breeders, is not an American public.
in 1998, Barnard & apos; s Group sued the USDA
Every 5 years, the government forms
diet guidelines for Americans.
That is the blueprint of what is supposed to be American
eat to be healthy.
And we see all members... 11 people.
6 of 11 has financial ties
with the food industry.
hey, wait a minute.
There is a law about what they should do and how transparent it is they should be.
They violated it.
And we take them to court,
it's a long trial, but we won.
But that doesn't change the fact
that the policies they make
continues to support the industry as before.
I don't think there is a real problem
with an industrial connection between scientists and the food industry,
mainly because, if the beef industry
have a question about their product ,
won't they meet with the best scientists?
And if the scientists are the best
is a consultant in the food industry,
I also want to have the best scientists on this committee who makes nutritional recommendations.
Conflict of Financial interests
only one conflict interests.
someone spent their entire career prove that the vegetarian diet is good for you
or red meat is not good for you.
they may not have an industrial relationship,
but they also have a conflict of interest.
You know, we develop our own bias.
I have a bias, too.
the point in my career where
I get a conflicting result
with what I thought was right.
So I need to reflect on myself, criticize my own bias,
observe it carefully,
and I changed my view.
Dr Campbell paid the price due to changing his outlook.
He was marginalized by high officials own campus after becoming chief scientist
and save millions of dollars in research grants
For the Cornell nutrition science division.
He has a popular nutrition class
which was canceled by the division director which has long been
the main consultant for the dairy industry.
Many see it as an arbitrary decision which violates the standard academic freedom.
Dr. Campbell has also seen the company's strong influence in research for development
government nutrition policy.
the example he mentioned is in
The prestigious National Academy of Sciences.
This building behind me is possible
most important buildings
in the field of science in this country.
this is where scientists discuss
about current issues and determine how to implement science in policy.
initially, when I was involved
the activities are mostly financed by public money.
But on the other hand, in recent years,
I see more and more company money
coming to support this activity
and more members of the committee,
especially the chair committee.
And of course, they can choose people they want
to get a certain agreement.
it shouldn't be so,
I'm sure if the public knows
how powerful this influence is, they will definitely be angry.
1/4 of what you eat keeps you alive. The rest so that your doctor can stay alive (Ancient Egyptian proverbs)
I have been a runner for 14 years,
in fact, marathon runners.
age 47, the highlight of my career.
1982, running career Ruth Heidrich
stop suddenly
when he was diagnosed with breast cancer.
After a mastectomy, the doctor recommends chemotherapy And radiation therapy to treat cancer
which at that time had spread to the lungs and bones.
but Ruth just decided to visit Dr. John Mcdougall.
And I said, "Ruth, I spent my time
gathering info about diet and breast cancer
everything is in these files.
to my office and read all
we see your opinion. "
He said," this is research that shows... "
" what am I trying to prove
is that the diet can reverse breast cancer. "
And he reads it,
he comes out and says " Okay, I change my diet. "
He changes his diet. He shows me how to eat.
without additional oil, multiply fruit and vegetables, seeds.
Ruth then start training
Ironman Triathlon in Hawaii,
combined marathon,
long distance bike, and swim.
= = I became obsessed. I still ran away, of course, it wouldn't stop, then then added swimming, cycling,
and to stay fit, lift weights.
people say, "You're crazy .
You have cancer. You have to rest "
Doctor said,
I feel so good
I feel fit, and I want to keep up this fitness And I'm sure if I have a healthy body
and put the right food into it I can beat this cancer
In Ironman Triathlon,
Ruth won a gold medal in her age group.
Stuck this diet I found my arthritis was gone My constipation is gone
my opponent is gone
no signs of depression,
which usually appears after has been diagnosed with cancer.
I feel renewable, refreshed,
here to show that diet
far more important than people think.
there is another woman who has breast cancer
colon cancer, prostate cancer.
Some are metastatic prostate cancer
all over his body
successfully achieved the name spontaneous remission.
In other words, they have recovered.

when you are diagnosed. there is someone who passes it.
Ruth succeeded.
I'm still racing.
practice daily
how many people in their 70s are still in Triathlon?
Not too much.
That gives us hope for everything when we age
not only will you stay healthy and defeat degenerative diseases that are common,
but you can start collecting medals.
The choice of food we make
has a long global effect.
it takes more than 10x amount of energy
fossil fuels to produce animal calories
rather than vegetable calories.
Since the 70s, 20% of the Amazon rainforest has been destroyed.
It's the size of the California region.
80% of the land cleared is now occupied by livestock.
animal feed enough to eat
8.7 billion people,
almost 2 billion more than the total population of the earth.
With almost 1 billion people malnutrition
in the whole world, half of it wheat
fattening the cattle is enough to feed
every mouth is hungry on this planet.
for Gene Baur, such factors,
plus love for animals,
make sure he adopts a plant-based diet.
Mr Baur is the president and the founder of Farm Sanctuary near Watkins Glen, New York.
It is a safe place for animals who was dumped or tortured.
I grew up eating animals like most people in our country,
but when I consider my choice of food
I admit I don't want to eat animals.
And the more I learn, the more I see
that I'm healthier if I don't eat animals and can move lighter on our planet.
The livestock industry has a big contribution
Global warming of all
the transportation industry according to the UN.
So by eating meat, milk and eggs,
we harm our own health,
we slaughter 10 billion innocent animals
every year in America,
and we destroy the planet.
UN compiled statistics
and the World Health Organization (WHO)
shows profound global effects
diet for health.
This is an estimate of the amount of animal food produced in 9 countries,
numbers that are closely related to consumption of animal food.
This is the death rate due to heart disease and cancer in these countries.
In the United States,
the same disease continues has serious consequences.
even with billion dollars
which is spent on heart treatment,
heart disease is still the number one cause of death,
kill 600,000 more people per year.
mainstay so far,
when talking about stents and heart bypass surgery,
is the fact that there is no doubt
in an emergency,
this way really saves lives.
But when done electively,
this procedure does not protect from a new heart attack.
Stents and bypass operations
mainly used to treat blockage of large arteries.
But according to many research studies,
only a small portion heart attack
caused by the biggest plaque.
but precisely by new blockages more,
which is far more inflamed
and much more likely to break rather than older, and more stable large plaques.
so this is why the procedure
Not treating disease.
but treating symptoms.
Doctor Esselstyn eats foods like
he recommended to his patients for more than 25 years.
One of his sons, Rip Esselstyn, uses a plant-based diet to achieve 10 years career success
as a professional tri-athlete.
When Rip was 34, he was ready to change his career and trained to be a firefighter.
Rip was assigned in machine company number 2 (?)
in Austin, Texas.
We are very competitive at this fire station,
and we like to make bets.
One night we were on the outside terrace,
we bet like in the bar
see who has the lowest cholesterol.
So the next day, we go to the lab for tests,
results come.
And we know that JR,
James Ray, our resident redneck, cholesterol is 344.
is like knocking on the door of death.
So what we did, as an act of solidarity,
The next day is our strict plant-based diet,
which basically saved his life and art.
they agreed to change their diet for firefighters.
But in Texas, old eating habits are difficult to change.
Meat is like a sport in Texas.
I have some good friends, they are a kind of barbeque team.
That is their activity.
their sports on weekends.
Texas is serious about the barbeque.
Texas, Kansas.
men often associate masculinity with eating meat.
And if you're a firefighter, exponentially so.
Last year, for example, 133 calls for firefighters in the United States.
52% due to heart disease.
our first killer in the task of saving lives
Firefighter is heart disease.
After only 3 weeks the new diet,
jr Tested for blood cholesterol,
and down 148 points, decreased 43%.
The results inspire others,
who also saw decrease in cholesterol
and increase their energy.
As firefighters, they not only help themselves,
they are also more ready to help others.
One of the firefighter's challenges
is you don't know like what is the waiting task.
may be dangerous,
which requires a ride of 20 feet
with air tubes,
with all complete equipment,
with dangerous devices on our backs.
Anyone can go down this pole,
but not everything can go up, especially without the help of feet.
means we are talking about
additional 75 to 100 pounds load
you have to take up 20 feet.
your aerobic and strength capacity
it must be extraordinary to do that.
Men... true... eat... vegetable.
You know, as a firefighter,
Everyone thinks we fight fire, indeed.
But 70% more calls to us are medical emergencies
we respond to heart disease,
hypertension, type 2 diabetes, acute obesity.
So we see, directly and close,
basically destruction due
American standard diet.
For me, the answer is
so simple, this is criminal.
the community must begin to take responsibility
for their health
and eat more plant-based foods.
that simple.
After 13 weeks whole food, plant-based diet,
it's time I checked the results from Dr. Lederman.
when starting, you weigh 231, 231 pounds
now 211 pounds.
Okay, that's good.

Your blood pressure is 142/82 when you start.

I don't have to depend on drugs.
I have a lot of energy which I didn't have before.
My children love it.
They are so proud of me, they always say that.
I have a small saying that I always hold

The message is, you can control your life.
Joey Aucoin has more than two dozen health problems,
including type 2 diabetes But after 22 weeks of consuming plant-based foods,
His condition has changed dramatically.

Your cholesterol is significantly lower

Your blood pressure is now normal,

That's still high.
And you... just say
I have never felt this way before.
You look... see your condition in the photo.
You look healthy.
So, as I said before,
how can the numbers affect...
our judgment about actual health.
And not just numbers.
but also photos,
and your picture looks fantastic.
I take 9 pills a day and 2 injections.
spend almost 150-200 dollars a month for medicine,
outside my insurance, imagine.
I've been in it for 5 months.
I've saved 800-1000 dollars,
because I haven't used any pill or injection.
imagine, it saved me...
not only me, but also insurance.
The government will give a number
that 75% of the funds are spent on health care
due to chronic illness,
and this is because of diet and lifestyle.
Let's get rid of the problem,
That is a food-borne disease.
enter the age of 70s,
doctors Campbell and Esselstyn are both still healthy and active.
They also continue to spread their message.
If you look at our children's school,
already arteries to their brains,
their carotid arteries, more and more some medial thickening intima.
Dr. Esselstyn gave a lecture about his research throughout the United States and abroad.
His wife Ann often accompanied him help teach patients
and shows how to prepare
plant foods.
Dr. Esselstyn is also the director cardiovascular disease prevention and reversal programs
at the Cleveland Wellness Institute clinic.
Like Dr. Esselstyn, Dr. Campbell
continue to teach throughout America and so on.
Dr. Campbell, you believe that is even though animal protein,
meat, milk, etc.... free from contamination,
it still can't be eaten?
No, I don't think so.
I think the more we eat with a plant-based diet...
I have to say whole food, plant-based diet,
we will all be healthier
In China, where Dr. Campbell
did a large research in the past,
the population has experienced a dramatic increase
consumption of meat, milk, and processed foods
the average population.
at the same time,
the rate of degenerative diseases skyrocketed.
Many Chinese now have nutritional beliefs
the same as America.
Dr. Campbell's message resonated with more and more concern
from all over the world.
Thank you. thanks. thanks.
thanks to this pioneering second effort
And their colleagues,
thousands of people realize
that deep improvement over
health and quality of life can be achieved.
You have two choices:
Unhealthy eating and early death,
or eat good health
and a long, healthy life.
And the way is a plant-oriented diet pattern.
You know, as far as I know in medicine there is no
which can compete with the benefits of a plant-based diet.
I can say this with confident,
that our national authority only needs to enter
Concept of nutrition from debate and discussion
to protect the status quo.
In theory, if everyone does this,
I'm very sure we can cut the health budget, 70% to 80%.
That's amazing.
And that's all from understanding of nutrition,
apply it, and see the results.
The biggest gift that you might be able to give
for yourself and your family,
not only for your generation,
but your children and grandchildren,

I'm sure wholeheartedly,
if anyone listens to this,
they really need to see fill their refrigerator,
Their diet, and try it.
you lose weight, and you are healthier.
Nothing wrong with
if you try it a few weeks.
You can see how easy it is.
I won't say it's difficult.
Once again, I have decided, This is what I will do.
I never felt that couldn't reach what I wanted.
So I don't have ice cream, donuts,
I eat something else.
All of my thanks for them,
and my doctor, especially Matt,
they just don't know their services
in changing my life.
And that's true.
It's not just me, my family, everything.
makes me cringe talking about it,
because this is very serious.
It's a life-changing experience.
you're in control,
I emphasize this, because many things
in a life that I can't control.
And that's my message.
You can control your body expenses.
Eat for life and don't live to eat.
Eat it.
You have to have the recipe.
This is good.
