- 00:00:28,328 --> 00:00:30,563
- - Worldwide, we're
- looking at approximately
- 2
- 00:00:30,563 --> 00:00:33,833
- 350 million people
- with diabetes.
- 3
- 00:00:33,833 --> 00:00:36,002
- There's not question
- that we're in the midst
- 4
- 00:00:36,002 --> 00:00:38,104
- of a diabetes epidemic.
- 5
- 00:00:38,104 --> 00:00:41,307
- Right now, one in
- three Medicare dollars
- 6
- 00:00:41,307 --> 00:00:44,444
- is spent in the care of
- people with diabetes.
- 7
- 00:00:44,444 --> 00:00:47,347
- One in 10 total
- health care dollars
- 8
- 00:00:47,347 --> 00:00:50,216
- is spent on people
- with diabetes.
- 9
- 00:00:50,216 --> 00:00:53,920
- There's no question that
- this is a major problem.
- 10
- 00:00:53,920 --> 00:00:55,155
- - [Kip] What in particular
- 11
- 00:00:55,155 --> 00:00:58,425
- is the relation of
- the diet and diabetes?
- 12
- 00:00:58,425 --> 00:01:00,326
- - I'm not gonna get into that.
- 13
- 00:01:00,326 --> 00:01:01,094
- - [Kip] Into diet?
- 14
- 00:01:01,094 --> 00:01:02,495
- - No.
- 15
- 00:01:24,350 --> 00:01:26,519
- - [Kip] My name is Kip, I'm a
- filmmaker from San Francisco
- 16
- 00:01:26,519 --> 00:01:28,121
- and I have a confession to make.
- 17
- 00:01:28,121 --> 00:01:29,989
- I'm a recovering hypochondriac.
- 18
- 00:01:29,989 --> 00:01:32,859
- Like so many of us, I've a
- family history of diabetes,
- 19
- 00:01:32,859 --> 00:01:34,894
- heart disease, and cancer.
- 20
- 00:01:34,894 --> 00:01:37,130
- My dad had his
- heart bypass at 49,
- 21
- 00:01:37,130 --> 00:01:38,865
- the second at the age 50.
- 22
- 00:01:38,865 --> 00:01:41,334
- My grandpa died young from
- diabetes complications
- 23
- 00:01:41,334 --> 00:01:44,704
- and both my other grandpa
- and grandma died of cancer.
- 24
- 00:01:44,704 --> 00:01:46,439
- I was always paranoid
- that I would also get
- 25
- 00:01:46,439 --> 00:01:47,974
- one of these diseases.
- 26
- 00:01:47,974 --> 00:01:50,810
- Like any good hypochondriac,
- WebMD Symptoms Checker
- 27
- 00:01:50,810 --> 00:01:53,146
- was essentially my
- browser's homepage.
- 28
- 00:01:53,146 --> 00:01:55,348
- Even in my teens, I
- took Metamucil everyday
- 29
- 00:01:55,348 --> 00:01:56,783
- and a daily aspirin.
- 30
- 00:01:56,783 --> 00:01:58,785
- I read all the latest
- self-diagnosis books.
- 31
- 00:01:58,785 --> 00:02:01,120
- I ate every multivitamin
- I can get my hands on
- 32
- 00:02:01,120 --> 00:02:03,523
- and I was obsessed
- with bodily functions.
- 33
- 00:02:03,523 --> 00:02:05,525
- I followed all the large
- health organization's
- 34
- 00:02:05,525 --> 00:02:07,927
- recommendations for
- preventing disease.
- 35
- 00:02:07,927 --> 00:02:10,997
- I exercise regularly, don't
- smoke, don't drink soda,
- 36
- 00:02:10,997 --> 00:02:12,999
- get enough sleep, reduce stress,
- 37
- 00:02:12,999 --> 00:02:14,300
- and grew up eating
- what I thought
- 38
- 00:02:14,300 --> 00:02:16,703
- was a healthy diet, until--
- 39
- 00:02:16,703 --> 00:02:18,171
- - World Health
- Organization this morning
- 40
- 00:02:18,171 --> 00:02:21,407
- has classified processed meats
- such as bacon and sausage
- 41
- 00:02:21,407 --> 00:02:23,877
- as carcinogenic,
- directly involved
- 42
- 00:02:23,877 --> 00:02:26,412
- in causing cancer in humans.
- 43
- 00:02:26,412 --> 00:02:29,115
- - [Announcer] Processed
- meat is clearly linked
- 44
- 00:02:29,115 --> 00:02:30,483
- to an increase in cancer.
- 45
- 00:02:30,483 --> 00:02:32,085
- - Hotdogs or bacon could be just
- 46
- 00:02:32,085 --> 00:02:34,754
- as dangerous as
- smoking cigarettes.
- 47
- 00:02:34,754 --> 00:02:36,422
- - [Kip] The World Health
- Organization that looked
- 48
- 00:02:36,422 --> 00:02:39,726
- over 800 studies from
- 10 different countries
- 49
- 00:02:39,726 --> 00:02:43,296
- finding a direct link
- to consuming processed
- meat in cancer.
- 50
- 00:02:43,296 --> 00:02:45,832
- Just one serving of deli
- meats daily increases
- 51
- 00:02:45,832 --> 00:02:49,969
- your risks of colorectal
- cancer by 18%.
- 52
- 00:02:49,969 --> 00:02:53,139
- I had no idea that what we
- ate affected cancer rates,
- 53
- 00:02:53,139 --> 00:02:55,542
- but I never felt like I'd
- eaten a lot of processed meats
- 54
- 00:02:55,542 --> 00:02:57,544
- until I realized
- that processed meat
- 55
- 00:02:57,544 --> 00:02:59,746
- includes hotdogs,
- bacon, sausage,
- 56
- 00:02:59,746 --> 00:03:03,216
- salami, ham, pepperoni,
- cold cuts, and Deli Slices,
- 57
- 00:03:03,216 --> 00:03:05,552
- basically, everything
- I grew up eating.
- 58
- 00:03:05,552 --> 00:03:07,820
- The World Health Organization
- classifies processed meat
- 59
- 00:03:07,820 --> 00:03:10,323
- as a Group 1 carcinogen.
- 60
- 00:03:10,323 --> 00:03:14,894
- The same group as cigarettes,
- asbestos, and plutonium.
- 61
- 00:03:14,894 --> 00:03:18,064
- And classifies red meat
- as a Group 2 carcinogen.
- 62
- 00:03:18,064 --> 00:03:19,866
- Was this like I'd
- essentially been smoking
- 63
- 00:03:19,866 --> 00:03:21,534
- my entire childhood?
- 64
- 00:03:22,902 --> 00:03:25,071
- If processed meats are labeled
- the same as cigarettes,
- 65
- 00:03:25,071 --> 00:03:28,675
- how is even legal for kids
- to be eating this way?
- 66
- 00:03:28,675 --> 00:03:30,610
- I thought this was
- new information
- 67
- 00:03:30,610 --> 00:03:35,148
- but many of these studies
- had been around for 50 years.
- 68
- 00:03:35,148 --> 00:03:37,417
- I couldn't believe I'd
- been eating processed meats
- 69
- 00:03:37,417 --> 00:03:40,420
- virtually my entire
- life and was just now,
- 70
- 00:03:40,420 --> 00:03:43,089
- finding out how
- dangerous they are.
- 71
- 00:03:43,089 --> 00:03:44,324
- Why hadn't I been
- hearing about it
- 72
- 00:03:44,324 --> 00:03:46,092
- from the American
- Cancer Society,
- 73
- 00:03:46,092 --> 00:03:48,628
- the largest cancer
- group in the nation?
- 74
- 00:03:48,628 --> 00:03:50,163
- When I went on their website,
- 75
- 00:03:50,163 --> 00:03:51,898
- I was shocked to see that
- none of these information
- 76
- 00:03:51,898 --> 00:03:53,766
- was featured on their homepage.
- 77
- 00:03:53,766 --> 00:03:57,103
- But even more shocking,
- on their Eat Healthy page,
- 78
- 00:03:57,103 --> 00:04:00,873
- they actually encouraged eating
- Group 1 carcinogenic foods
- 79
- 00:04:00,873 --> 00:04:03,009
- like processed turkey
- and canned meats.
- 80
- 00:04:03,009 --> 00:04:05,078
- This is after the World
- Health Organization
- 81
- 00:04:05,078 --> 00:04:08,081
- reviewed over 800
- studies definitively
- 82
- 00:04:08,081 --> 00:04:10,183
- linking processed
- meat to cancer.
- 83
- 00:04:10,183 --> 00:04:12,218
- - [Sam] Thank you for calling,
- American Cancer Society.
- 84
- 00:04:12,218 --> 00:04:14,954
- My name is Sam, I'm a cancer
- information specialist.
- 85
- 00:04:14,954 --> 00:04:16,356
- How may I help you today?
- 86
- 00:04:16,356 --> 00:04:17,757
- - Hi, I was calling
- because I was wondering why
- 87
- 00:04:17,757 --> 00:04:18,925
- you all recommend people
- 88
- 00:04:18,925 --> 00:04:22,362
- to eat processed
- meat on your website?
- 89
- 00:04:22,362 --> 00:04:24,230
- Which the World Health
- Organization has classified
- 90
- 00:04:24,230 --> 00:04:26,232
- as a Group 1 carcinogen?
- 91
- 00:04:27,600 --> 00:04:29,569
- Which is in the same
- class as tobacco smoking,
- 92
- 00:04:29,569 --> 00:04:31,571
- asbestos, and plutonium?
- 93
- 00:04:33,473 --> 00:04:35,942
- This would be like a
- lung association having a
- 94
- 00:04:35,942 --> 00:04:39,579
- How to Roll your own Cigarettes
- section on their website.
- 95
- 00:04:39,579 --> 00:04:41,948
- It's kinda the same thing?
- 96
- 00:04:41,948 --> 00:04:42,882
- - [Sam] Well, let
- me just place you
- 97
- 00:04:42,882 --> 00:04:45,151
- on a brief hold because--
- 98
- 00:04:45,151 --> 00:04:46,786
- - He wasn't able to
- answer my questions
- 99
- 00:04:46,786 --> 00:04:49,389
- and said someone would
- get back with me.
- 100
- 00:04:49,389 --> 00:04:50,990
- I had always been
- concerned about cancer
- 101
- 00:04:50,990 --> 00:04:54,460
- because both my grandma
- and grandpa died of cancer.
- 102
- 00:04:54,460 --> 00:04:55,928
- I wondered if things
- would have been different
- 103
- 00:04:55,928 --> 00:04:57,597
- had they known the
- link between diet
- 104
- 00:04:57,597 --> 00:04:59,298
- and this terrible disease.
- 105
- 00:04:59,298 --> 00:05:03,403
- In the US, one out of every
- four deaths is from cancer.
- 106
- 00:05:04,604 --> 00:05:06,072
- Oh sweet, American
- Cancer Society rep
- 107
- 00:05:06,072 --> 00:05:08,908
- confirmed the
- interview this week.
- 108
- 00:05:10,677 --> 00:05:11,944
- So, we just went in
- for the interview
- 109
- 00:05:11,944 --> 00:05:13,880
- with the American
- Cancer Society rep
- 110
- 00:05:13,880 --> 00:05:15,281
- and the security guard said,
- 111
- 00:05:15,281 --> 00:05:17,283
- "There's no
- interview scheduled."
- 112
- 00:05:17,283 --> 00:05:20,186
- So I went on to my phone
- and it turns out last night,
- 113
- 00:05:20,186 --> 00:05:21,921
- after I'd told her that
- the interview's gonna be
- 114
- 00:05:21,921 --> 00:05:24,924
- about the correlation
- between diet and cancer,
- 115
- 00:05:24,924 --> 00:05:28,594
- she said she can no
- longer do the interview.
- 116
- 00:05:29,762 --> 00:05:31,297
- After repeated emails asking why
- 117
- 00:05:31,297 --> 00:05:33,099
- she was declining my interviews
- 118
- 00:05:33,099 --> 00:05:35,568
- to simply talk about
- diet and cancer,
- 119
- 00:05:35,568 --> 00:05:38,371
- she stopped responding
- all together.
- 120
- 00:05:38,371 --> 00:05:40,873
- Why would an American
- Cancer Society rep
- 121
- 00:05:40,873 --> 00:05:43,409
- not wanna talk about this?
- 122
- 00:05:43,409 --> 00:05:45,478
- I was, however, able to
- connect with a growing movement
- 123
- 00:05:45,478 --> 00:05:47,580
- of doctors who are willing
- to talk about the link
- 124
- 00:05:47,580 --> 00:05:49,816
- between the standard
- American diet and disease,
- 125
- 00:05:49,816 --> 00:05:51,984
- and it goes beyond just cancer.
- 126
- 00:05:51,984 --> 00:05:53,953
- I took my old trustee
- van, Super Blue,
- 127
- 00:05:53,953 --> 00:05:56,089
- once again out on the road.
- 128
- 00:05:56,089 --> 00:05:58,424
- - 2/3 of adults are now
- overweight or obese,
- 129
- 00:05:58,424 --> 00:06:01,427
- and we have an epidemic
- cascade of debilitating disease
- 130
- 00:06:01,427 --> 00:06:02,962
- that's overcoming the country.
- 131
- 00:06:02,962 --> 00:06:05,698
- There's no way we can
- sustain the current style
- 132
- 00:06:05,698 --> 00:06:09,102
- of care with the epidemic
- that we're creating
- 133
- 00:06:09,102 --> 00:06:10,970
- with our diet and
- lifestyle choices.
- 134
- 00:06:10,970 --> 00:06:13,573
- - The diabetes, the
- arthritis, the heart disease,
- 135
- 00:06:13,573 --> 00:06:16,375
- the dementia, the
- obesity, the cancers
- 136
- 00:06:16,375 --> 00:06:18,978
- are affecting about
- 70% of deaths.
- 137
- 00:06:18,978 --> 00:06:22,949
- All the data is that those
- 70% of deaths and morbidity
- 138
- 00:06:22,949 --> 00:06:25,685
- are largely lifestyle-related
- and preventable.
- 139
- 00:06:25,685 --> 00:06:30,389
- - Most kids by age 10 in the
- US already have fatty streaks
- 140
- 00:06:30,389 --> 00:06:32,825
- in their arteries the first
- stage of atherosclerosis
- 141
- 00:06:32,825 --> 00:06:35,361
- leading to heart
- attacks, strokes.
- 142
- 00:06:35,361 --> 00:06:36,596
- - Here in American medicine,
- 143
- 00:06:36,596 --> 00:06:39,031
- we operate from
- the disease model.
- 144
- 00:06:39,031 --> 00:06:42,201
- We are in the business
- of treating sick people.
- 145
- 00:06:42,201 --> 00:06:44,270
- We are not in the
- business of trying
- 146
- 00:06:44,270 --> 00:06:46,105
- to prevent people
- from becoming sick.
- 147
- 00:06:46,105 --> 00:06:48,074
- - When you look at
- chronic disease risk,
- 148
- 00:06:48,074 --> 00:06:50,009
- all the things that we
- walk around worrying about.
- 149
- 00:06:50,009 --> 00:06:53,246
- Actually, dietary
- choices trump smoking
- 150
- 00:06:53,246 --> 00:06:54,914
- when it comes to those risks.
- 151
- 00:06:54,914 --> 00:06:57,817
- - If I could deliver one
- message to the researchers
- 152
- 00:06:57,817 --> 00:07:00,319
- who are looking for
- the cause of diabetes
- 153
- 00:07:00,319 --> 00:07:01,988
- and the cause of
- clogged arteries,
- 154
- 00:07:01,988 --> 00:07:03,723
- and the cause of
- high blood pressure,
- 155
- 00:07:03,723 --> 00:07:06,125
- and the cause of obesity,
- I would tell them,
- 156
- 00:07:06,125 --> 00:07:09,428
- the answer's in three words,
- it's the food.
- 157
- 00:07:09,428 --> 00:07:11,464
- It's what Americans are eating.
- 158
- 00:07:11,464 --> 00:07:13,966
- - [Kip] Today, with 2/3 of
- Americans being overweight,
- 159
- 00:07:13,966 --> 00:07:16,602
- clearly, there's a food issue.
- 160
- 00:07:16,602 --> 00:07:18,004
- In the next 25 years,
- 161
- 00:07:18,004 --> 00:07:21,607
- one out of every three
- Americans will have diabetes.
- 162
- 00:07:21,607 --> 00:07:23,509
- - My name's Michael Abdalla.
- 163
- 00:07:23,509 --> 00:07:26,746
- I'm from Atlanta, Georgia,
- and unfortunately,
- 164
- 00:07:26,746 --> 00:07:29,949
- I was diagnosed about 10
- years ago with diabetes,
- 165
- 00:07:29,949 --> 00:07:33,319
- and eight years ago, I
- had two stents put in.
- 166
- 00:07:33,319 --> 00:07:35,588
- I don't know where to
- go, I don't know what do,
- 167
- 00:07:35,588 --> 00:07:38,391
- you just like add the options
- and you don't know what to do.
- 168
- 00:07:38,391 --> 00:07:40,426
- You take in medicine, you
- listen to this doctor,
- 169
- 00:07:40,426 --> 00:07:42,995
- and the cardiologist
- says, "Take this,"
- 170
- 00:07:42,995 --> 00:07:46,299
- and the endocrinologist
- says, "Take that,"
- 171
- 00:07:46,299 --> 00:07:48,367
- then your general
- practitioner doctor says,
- 172
- 00:07:48,367 --> 00:07:49,969
- "You don't know
- what's going on here."
- 173
- 00:07:49,969 --> 00:07:52,371
- It's a real challenging thing
- 174
- 00:07:53,506 --> 00:07:57,443
- and it's something that
- you don't wanna get.
- 175
- 00:07:57,443 --> 00:07:58,911
- You just don't wanna get it.
- 176
- 00:07:58,911 --> 00:08:01,080
- - [Kip] Government and media
- almost exclusively blame
- 177
- 00:08:01,080 --> 00:08:04,884
- lack of exercise and sugary
- foods as a cause of diabetes.
- 178
- 00:08:04,884 --> 00:08:06,552
- But I wanted to talk
- with an actual expert
- 179
- 00:08:06,552 --> 00:08:08,688
- on the role of diet in diabetes.
- 180
- 00:08:08,688 --> 00:08:10,056
- I went to speak with
- premier physician,
- 181
- 00:08:10,056 --> 00:08:13,793
- diabetes expert, and
- researcher, Dr. Neal Barnard.
- 182
- 00:08:13,793 --> 00:08:17,396
- What role does sugar
- play in causing diabetes?
- 183
- 00:08:17,396 --> 00:08:18,598
- - Drive me crazy.
- 184
- 00:08:18,598 --> 00:08:21,000
- Diabetes is not and
- never was caused
- 185
- 00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:23,836
- by eating a high
- carbohydrate diet
- 186
- 00:08:23,836 --> 00:08:25,371
- and it's not caused
- by eating sugar.
- 187
- 00:08:25,371 --> 00:08:27,306
- The cause of diabetes is a diet
- 188
- 00:08:27,306 --> 00:08:29,876
- that builds up the amount
- of fat into the blood.
- 189
- 00:08:29,876 --> 00:08:33,145
- I'm talking about a typical
- meat-based, animal-based diet.
- 190
- 00:08:33,145 --> 00:08:35,581
- You can look into the muscle
- cells of the human body
- 191
- 00:08:35,581 --> 00:08:38,084
- and you find they're building
- up tiny particles of fat
- 192
- 00:08:38,084 --> 00:08:40,386
- which is causing
- insulin resistance.
- 193
- 00:08:40,386 --> 00:08:42,221
- What that means is the sugar
- 194
- 00:08:42,221 --> 00:08:44,457
- that is naturally from the
- foods that you're eating
- 195
- 00:08:44,457 --> 00:08:46,525
- can't get into the
- cells where it belongs.
- 196
- 00:08:46,525 --> 00:08:49,095
- It builds up in the blood
- and that's diabetes.
- 197
- 00:08:49,095 --> 00:08:50,329
- - [Kip] I had never
- heard that meat
- 198
- 00:08:50,329 --> 00:08:52,164
- was associated with
- causing diabetes.
- 199
- 00:08:52,164 --> 00:08:54,934
- We had always been told that
- sugar and obesity caused it.
- 200
- 00:08:54,934 --> 00:08:56,402
- Renowned weight loss
- bariatric surgeon,
- 201
- 00:08:56,402 --> 00:08:58,538
- Dr. Garth Davis, though agreed.
- 202
- 00:08:58,538 --> 00:09:00,439
- - Everyone thinks that you
- diabetic because of carbs,
- 203
- 00:09:00,439 --> 00:09:03,676
- did a huge study and that
- epic study, 500,000 people.
- 204
- 00:09:03,676 --> 00:09:06,512
- Carbs consumption was
- inversely related to diabetes.
- 205
- 00:09:06,512 --> 00:09:08,481
- In other words, the more
- carbs they wanna to eat,
- 206
- 00:09:08,481 --> 00:09:12,351
- the less diabetes they had but
- meat was strongly correlated.
- 207
- 00:09:12,351 --> 00:09:13,619
- Get that aha moment.
- 208
- 00:09:13,619 --> 00:09:15,855
- The starches, the
- carbs are good for you.
- 209
- 00:09:15,855 --> 00:09:17,323
- They're not bad for you.
- 210
- 00:09:17,323 --> 00:09:20,459
- This idea that carbs make you
- fat is utterly ridiculous.
- 211
- 00:09:20,459 --> 00:09:23,629
- Carbs cannot make you
- fat in and of themselves.
- 212
- 00:09:23,629 --> 00:09:26,065
- We have storage in our muscles
- 213
- 00:09:26,065 --> 00:09:28,301
- and in our liver for
- carbs called glycogen.
- 214
- 00:09:28,301 --> 00:09:31,137
- So, when we eat carbs, we
- either store it or we burn it.
- 215
- 00:09:31,137 --> 00:09:33,606
- Now, eat fat that goes
- straight to you fat.
- 216
- 00:09:33,606 --> 00:09:36,375
- Your body can't turn
- those carbs into fat
- 217
- 00:09:36,375 --> 00:09:38,577
- unless you're really
- overdoing your calories.
- 218
- 00:09:38,577 --> 00:09:40,313
- Basically, it's
- a death sentence.
- 219
- 00:09:40,313 --> 00:09:42,248
- You're at much higher
- risk of getting cancer.
- 220
- 00:09:42,248 --> 00:09:44,483
- You're almost certainly
- gonna get diabetes.
- 221
- 00:09:44,483 --> 00:09:45,985
- No one wants to fat shame
- 222
- 00:09:45,985 --> 00:09:47,753
- and we all want everybody to
- be comfortable with our bodies
- 223
- 00:09:47,753 --> 00:09:49,422
- but this movement to be
- comfortable with our bodies
- 224
- 00:09:49,422 --> 00:09:51,324
- has made us comfortable
- with being sick
- 225
- 00:09:51,324 --> 00:09:52,892
- and that's a huge problem.
- 226
- 00:09:52,892 --> 00:09:54,627
- I go into the hospital
- and I look around me,
- 227
- 00:09:54,627 --> 00:09:56,963
- people on dialysis,
- all these sick people
- 228
- 00:09:56,963 --> 00:09:58,631
- and just about every
- disease in there
- 229
- 00:09:58,631 --> 00:10:00,433
- is because of what
- people are eating.
- 230
- 00:10:00,433 --> 00:10:03,669
- - Here's the thing, if
- I eat a sugary cookie,
- 231
- 00:10:03,669 --> 00:10:06,038
- the sugar lures you in
- like the Trojan Horse
- 232
- 00:10:06,038 --> 00:10:07,873
- but waiting inside that cookie
- 233
- 00:10:07,873 --> 00:10:10,476
- is a huge load of
- butter or shortening
- 234
- 00:10:10,476 --> 00:10:11,711
- and that's what fattens you up.
- 235
- 00:10:11,711 --> 00:10:13,679
- That's the part that
- leads to the diabetes.
- 236
- 00:10:13,679 --> 00:10:15,848
- It's the fatty foods, not
- really so much the sugar.
- 237
- 00:10:15,848 --> 00:10:17,350
- - It's not that
- sugar's good for you.
- 238
- 00:10:17,350 --> 00:10:19,652
- There's no nutrients in
- it, it's excess calories,
- 239
- 00:10:19,652 --> 00:10:20,786
- but when you eat sugar,
- 240
- 00:10:20,786 --> 00:10:22,655
- you don't get
- inflammation right away.
- 241
- 00:10:22,655 --> 00:10:24,623
- When you eat sugar,
- you're not getting plaques
- 242
- 00:10:24,623 --> 00:10:26,125
- forming in your vessels.
- 243
- 00:10:26,125 --> 00:10:28,027
- When you're eating sugar,
- your body's gonna store
- 244
- 00:10:28,027 --> 00:10:31,697
- most of it as glycogen
- or burn it as calories.
- 245
- 00:10:31,697 --> 00:10:35,568
- So, this focus on sugar
- has taken all the focus off
- 246
- 00:10:35,568 --> 00:10:39,772
- meat, dairy, eggs,
- pork, turkey, chicken.
- 247
- 00:10:39,772 --> 00:10:41,574
- - People need to understand.
- 248
- 00:10:41,574 --> 00:10:43,476
- If their gets diabetes,
- 249
- 00:10:43,476 --> 00:10:46,912
- you've just take 19 years
- off their life span.
- 250
- 00:10:46,912 --> 00:10:48,948
- We're talking life and death.
- 251
- 00:10:48,948 --> 00:10:50,416
- - I realized, there
- was so much more
- 252
- 00:10:50,416 --> 00:10:52,852
- about diet and disease
- that I hadn't ever learned.
- 253
- 00:10:52,852 --> 00:10:54,286
- It felt as if this information
- 254
- 00:10:54,286 --> 00:10:56,022
- had been practically withheld.
- 255
- 00:10:56,022 --> 00:10:57,857
- Processed meat causes cancer.
- 256
- 00:10:57,857 --> 00:11:00,259
- Sugar doesn't cause diabetes.
- 257
- 00:11:00,259 --> 00:11:02,428
- I had doubt about the claims
- these doctors are making
- 258
- 00:11:02,428 --> 00:11:04,764
- so I did some
- searching on my own.
- 259
- 00:11:04,764 --> 00:11:06,899
- Harvard researchers looked
- at nine perspective studies
- 260
- 00:11:06,899 --> 00:11:09,668
- finding that just one serving
- of processed meat per day
- 261
- 00:11:09,668 --> 00:11:13,839
- increased risk of
- developing diabetes by 51%.
- 262
- 00:11:13,839 --> 00:11:15,074
- The link between eating meat
- 263
- 00:11:15,074 --> 00:11:17,977
- and developing diabetes
- became undeniable.
- 264
- 00:11:17,977 --> 00:11:19,178
- But when I went on
- 265
- 00:11:19,178 --> 00:11:20,946
- the leading diabetes
- organization's website,
- 266
- 00:11:20,946 --> 00:11:22,915
- the American
- Diabetes Association,
- 267
- 00:11:22,915 --> 00:11:24,583
- not only did they not
- have this information
- 268
- 00:11:24,583 --> 00:11:27,386
- front and center, they
- were featuring recipes
- 269
- 00:11:27,386 --> 00:11:30,056
- for red and processed
- meat and on there,
- 270
- 00:11:30,056 --> 00:11:31,991
- Recipes for Healthy Living.
- 271
- 00:11:31,991 --> 00:11:34,193
- They had bacon wrapped shrimp?
- 272
- 00:11:34,193 --> 00:11:36,328
- What the health?
- 273
- 00:11:36,328 --> 00:11:38,564
- All right, send an email to
- American Diabetes Association,
- 274
- 00:11:38,564 --> 00:11:40,633
- see if they get back to us.
- 275
- 00:11:40,633 --> 00:11:42,401
- As destructive as diabetes is,
- 276
- 00:11:42,401 --> 00:11:44,336
- it pales in comparison
- to heart disease.
- 277
- 00:11:44,336 --> 00:11:47,139
- Over 17 million
- people die every year
- 278
- 00:11:47,139 --> 00:11:49,141
- from cardiovascular disease.
- 279
- 00:11:49,141 --> 00:11:51,644
- It is the leading cause
- of death around the world.
- 280
- 00:11:51,644 --> 00:11:54,146
- Nearly, one out of
- every three people
- 281
- 00:11:54,146 --> 00:11:56,115
- will die from this disease.
- 282
- 00:11:56,115 --> 00:11:58,584
- The amount of people who die
- from cardiovascular disease
- 283
- 00:11:58,584 --> 00:12:01,020
- is the equivalent
- of four jumbo jets
- 284
- 00:12:01,020 --> 00:12:03,222
- crashing every single hour
- 285
- 00:12:03,222 --> 00:12:06,225
- every single day,
- every single year.
- 286
- 00:12:10,896 --> 00:12:12,064
- - My name is Amy Resnic,
- 287
- 00:12:12,064 --> 00:12:14,333
- and I'm from Swampscott,
- Massachusetts,
- 288
- 00:12:14,333 --> 00:12:16,102
- little bit north of Boston.
- 289
- 00:12:16,102 --> 00:12:19,772
- And I recently went to
- my doctor for asthma
- 290
- 00:12:19,772 --> 00:12:21,907
- because I had a very
- hard time breathing
- 291
- 00:12:21,907 --> 00:12:24,810
- and while there, she
- did some blood work
- 292
- 00:12:24,810 --> 00:12:28,414
- and one of the tests
- was C-reactive protein
- 293
- 00:12:31,684 --> 00:12:33,986
- and that was a scale
- of one to three.
- 294
- 00:12:33,986 --> 00:12:36,188
- One being low for cardiac event,
- 295
- 00:12:36,188 --> 00:12:38,190
- three being high
- for a cardiac event,
- 296
- 00:12:38,190 --> 00:12:40,192
- and my number was 10.82.
- 297
- 00:12:41,627 --> 00:12:42,862
- - What does that means.
- 298
- 00:12:42,862 --> 00:12:45,164
- - That means I am on the
- road for heart attack
- 299
- 00:12:45,164 --> 00:12:48,467
- and she said, "Probably,
- within the next 30 days."
- 300
- 00:12:48,467 --> 00:12:50,302
- - 30 days?
- - 30 days,
- 301
- 00:12:50,302 --> 00:12:52,404
- if I'm going the
- way I was going.
- 302
- 00:12:52,404 --> 00:12:55,407
- I take this for my
- heart arrhythmia,
- 303
- 00:12:57,109 --> 00:13:00,346
- take this for pain,
- oxycodone for pain,
- 304
- 00:13:01,614 --> 00:13:03,716
- and lorazepam for stress,
- 305
- 00:13:05,284 --> 00:13:07,853
- cyclobenzaprine
- for muscle relaxer.
- 306
- 00:13:07,853 --> 00:13:10,489
- Also take Topamax and Prozac
- 307
- 00:13:10,489 --> 00:13:13,959
- and I also use a CPAP
- machine to help me breathe,
- 308
- 00:13:13,959 --> 00:13:18,330
- and my asthma has been
- so bad this past year.
- 309
- 00:13:18,330 --> 00:13:22,268
- I used to turn the day
- as well to get some air.
- 310
- 00:13:22,268 --> 00:13:26,338
- I am tired when I wake up,
- I'm tired during the day.
- 311
- 00:13:26,338 --> 00:13:30,609
- I take a nap, I'm so
- tired, I can't breathe,
- 312
- 00:13:30,609 --> 00:13:34,780
- and I know I need to make
- at change for my health,
- 313
- 00:13:36,448 --> 00:13:39,952
- I also am not gonna
- be here for my family.
- 314
- 00:13:41,120 --> 00:13:42,388
- - When we speak
- of heart disease,
- 315
- 00:13:42,388 --> 00:13:44,757
- I would say the role of
- alcohol is pretty small.
- 316
- 00:13:44,757 --> 00:13:47,526
- The role of sugar
- is very small too.
- 317
- 00:13:47,526 --> 00:13:49,461
- Smoking is big,
- but the good news
- 318
- 00:13:49,461 --> 00:13:52,331
- is that most people have
- quit or never did smoke.
- 319
- 00:13:52,331 --> 00:13:54,099
- The problem with
- animal-based diet,
- 320
- 00:13:54,099 --> 00:13:56,368
- it's contribution to
- heart disease is huge,
- 321
- 00:13:56,368 --> 00:13:57,670
- and it is pervasive.
- 322
- 00:13:57,670 --> 00:14:01,106
- - All these expensive
- imaging, procedures,
- 323
- 00:14:02,441 --> 00:14:04,176
- bypasses, medication,
- 324
- 00:14:05,611 --> 00:14:09,682
- none of which has one
- solitary single thing to do
- 325
- 00:14:10,883 --> 00:14:12,484
- with the causation
- of the illness
- 326
- 00:14:12,484 --> 00:14:14,253
- so you die with a
- completely benign,
- 327
- 00:14:14,253 --> 00:14:15,521
- full-blown illness,
- 328
- 00:14:15,521 --> 00:14:17,523
- that never had its
- causation treated.
- 329
- 00:14:17,523 --> 00:14:21,060
- - When we eat these kind of
- dead meat bacteria toxins,
- 330
- 00:14:21,060 --> 00:14:23,362
- within minutes,
- we get this burst
- 331
- 00:14:23,362 --> 00:14:25,598
- of inflammation
- within your system
- 332
- 00:14:25,598 --> 00:14:27,733
- such that you basically
- paralyze your arteries.
- 333
- 00:14:27,733 --> 00:14:29,134
- So, you get this
- stiffening of the arteries,
- 334
- 00:14:29,134 --> 00:14:32,238
- their inability to
- relax normally in half.
- 335
- 00:14:32,238 --> 00:14:35,140
- It's not like decades down
- the road, eating unhealthy,
- 336
- 00:14:35,140 --> 00:14:36,408
- there'll be some damage, no.
- 337
- 00:14:36,408 --> 00:14:38,110
- We're talking damage
- right then and there
- 338
- 00:14:38,110 --> 00:14:40,246
- within minutes of
- going into our mouth.
- 339
- 00:14:40,246 --> 00:14:44,617
- - Many people are given the
- diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease
- 340
- 00:14:44,617 --> 00:14:47,253
- when it's not true
- Alzheimer's at all.
- 341
- 00:14:47,253 --> 00:14:49,121
- The vast majority of
- people suffered dementia
- 342
- 00:14:49,121 --> 00:14:51,023
- through that their
- tiny blood vessels
- 343
- 00:14:51,023 --> 00:14:54,326
- in their brain clogging
- up and their nerve cells
- 344
- 00:14:54,326 --> 00:14:56,462
- being short-changed
- of oxygenated blood
- 345
- 00:14:56,462 --> 00:14:58,697
- and guess where their blood
- vessel eventually comes from,
- 346
- 00:14:58,697 --> 00:15:00,699
- those little tiny
- arteries are clogging up
- 347
- 00:15:00,699 --> 00:15:03,602
- from that steady stream of
- fat, cholesterol, et cetera.
- 348
- 00:15:03,602 --> 00:15:06,205
- - It's really quite clear
- from the standpoint of cancer
- 349
- 00:15:06,205 --> 00:15:08,507
- and the standpoint of
- cardiovascular disease,
- 350
- 00:15:08,507 --> 00:15:11,243
- that animal protein
- plays an enormous role.
- 351
- 00:15:11,243 --> 00:15:13,912
- - [Kip] Is chicken better?
- 352
- 00:15:13,912 --> 00:15:16,282
- - It's question of whether
- you be shot or hung.
- 353
- 00:15:16,282 --> 00:15:18,250
- - The flesh food that
- I would eliminate
- 354
- 00:15:18,250 --> 00:15:20,519
- from the American
- diet would be poultry,
- 355
- 00:15:20,519 --> 00:15:22,087
- would be turkey and chicken.
- 356
- 00:15:22,087 --> 00:15:23,989
- Their brilliant
- advertising campaign
- 357
- 00:15:23,989 --> 00:15:25,257
- has convinced people that,
- 358
- 00:15:25,257 --> 00:15:27,192
- "Oh, it's white meat,
- it's healthier."
- 359
- 00:15:27,192 --> 00:15:29,528
- - The leading source of sodium
- 360
- 00:15:29,528 --> 00:15:33,399
- in the American diet
- for adult is chicken.
- 361
- 00:15:33,399 --> 00:15:35,000
- It can be labeled
- all-natural chicken
- 362
- 00:15:35,000 --> 00:15:36,735
- but they inject it
- with a salt water,
- 363
- 00:15:36,735 --> 00:15:38,904
- I think, up to 800
- milligrams of sodium.
- 364
- 00:15:38,904 --> 00:15:41,240
- - Heterocyclic amines
- are clear cut carcinogens
- 365
- 00:15:41,240 --> 00:15:43,609
- and they can form
- in any kind of meat
- 366
- 00:15:43,609 --> 00:15:45,444
- as it's heated, as it's cooked,
- 367
- 00:15:45,444 --> 00:15:48,881
- but by far, the biggest
- source is chicken.
- 368
- 00:15:48,881 --> 00:15:52,751
- We sent researchers into fast
- food and family restaurants.
- 369
- 00:15:52,751 --> 00:15:56,055
- Not only were there carcinogens
- in every single restaurant.
- 370
- 00:15:56,055 --> 00:15:58,924
- Well, we found them in
- every single chicken sample
- 371
- 00:15:58,924 --> 00:15:59,858
- that we took.
- 372
- 00:15:59,858 --> 00:16:01,226
- If somebody brings their family
- 373
- 00:16:01,226 --> 00:16:03,128
- and then they're buying
- a bucket of chicken,
- 374
- 00:16:03,128 --> 00:16:04,997
- nobody tells them that
- there are carcinogens.
- 375
- 00:16:04,997 --> 00:16:07,599
- If you're selling
- carcinogens to people,
- 376
- 00:16:07,599 --> 00:16:09,702
- you've gotta warn them
- that they're in there.
- 377
- 00:16:09,702 --> 00:16:11,670
- - [Kip] But the American Cancer
- Society encourages people
- 378
- 00:16:11,670 --> 00:16:14,406
- to switch from red and
- processed meat to chicken.
- 379
- 00:16:14,406 --> 00:16:16,342
- Why would the American
- Cancer Society tell people
- 380
- 00:16:16,342 --> 00:16:19,178
- to switch from eating one
- carcinogenic food to another
- 381
- 00:16:19,178 --> 00:16:20,479
- when a Harvard University study
- 382
- 00:16:20,479 --> 00:16:22,114
- showed that men
- with prostate cancer
- 383
- 00:16:22,114 --> 00:16:23,615
- who eat large amounts of chicken
- 384
- 00:16:23,615 --> 00:16:27,086
- increased their risk of the
- disease progressing four times?
- 385
- 00:16:27,086 --> 00:16:30,222
- - The number one dietary source
- in America of cholesterol
- 386
- 00:16:30,222 --> 00:16:32,057
- is chicken because
- the volume of chicken.
- 387
- 00:16:32,057 --> 00:16:35,194
- Chickens become grilled
- chicken and organic chicken,
- 388
- 00:16:35,194 --> 00:16:37,863
- if it's machismo,
- but it has nearly
- 389
- 00:16:37,863 --> 00:16:40,165
- as much cholesterol
- per gram as red beef
- 390
- 00:16:40,165 --> 00:16:42,668
- suggests that sheer volume
- is the number one source
- 391
- 00:16:42,668 --> 00:16:44,336
- yet eggs being close by.
- 392
- 00:16:44,336 --> 00:16:46,205
- - [Kip] I'd never really
- thought about eggs much.
- 393
- 00:16:46,205 --> 00:16:47,439
- I just thought of them
- 394
- 00:16:47,439 --> 00:16:49,208
- as a standard part
- of the healthy diet.
- 395
- 00:16:49,208 --> 00:16:50,709
- But then, I found
- a study suggesting
- 396
- 00:16:50,709 --> 00:16:53,145
- that eating just one
- egg a day can be as bad
- 397
- 00:16:53,145 --> 00:16:57,249
- as smoking five cigarettes
- per day for life expectancy.
- 398
- 00:16:57,249 --> 00:17:00,619
- - The yolk of a hen's egg is
- the most concentrated glom
- 399
- 00:17:00,619 --> 00:17:03,055
- of saturated fat
- and cholesterol.
- 400
- 00:17:03,055 --> 00:17:05,858
- It is made to run a
- baby chicken for 21 days
- 401
- 00:17:05,858 --> 00:17:07,726
- with no outside energy.
- 402
- 00:17:07,726 --> 00:17:09,328
- It is pure fat and cholesterol.
- 403
- 00:17:09,328 --> 00:17:11,964
- And when we put that
- into our blood stream,
- 404
- 00:17:11,964 --> 00:17:13,232
- it coats our red blood cells,
- 405
- 00:17:13,232 --> 00:17:15,634
- our blood gets thicker
- and more viscous.
- 406
- 00:17:15,634 --> 00:17:17,136
- It changes our hormone levels.
- 407
- 00:17:17,136 --> 00:17:18,737
- It raises our
- cholesterol levels.
- 408
- 00:17:18,737 --> 00:17:21,840
- There's nothing healthy
- about eating yolk of the egg.
- 409
- 00:17:21,840 --> 00:17:23,308
- - [Kip] But I thought
- cholesterol and saturated fat
- 410
- 00:17:23,308 --> 00:17:25,477
- wasn't an issue anymore?
- 411
- 00:17:25,477 --> 00:17:27,379
- - You know, these saturated
- fat studies that have come out,
- 412
- 00:17:27,379 --> 00:17:29,214
- trying to vindicate
- saturated fat.
- 413
- 00:17:29,214 --> 00:17:30,916
- That's a campaign by
- the dairy industry.
- 414
- 00:17:30,916 --> 00:17:34,486
- Number one source of saturated
- fat is dairy, it's not meat.
- 415
- 00:17:34,486 --> 00:17:37,222
- 2008, the global dairy industry
- got together at a meeting
- 416
- 00:17:37,222 --> 00:17:39,558
- and explicitly read their agenda
- 417
- 00:17:39,558 --> 00:17:43,195
- was to neutralize the
- negative impact of milk fat
- 418
- 00:17:43,195 --> 00:17:45,864
- by regulators and medical
- professionals, unquote.
- 419
- 00:17:45,864 --> 00:17:47,533
- So, what they do,
- they funded studies.
- 420
- 00:17:47,533 --> 00:17:48,734
- - [Kip] The main
- study that started
- 421
- 00:17:48,734 --> 00:17:50,669
- the whole saturated
- fat media craze
- 422
- 00:17:50,669 --> 00:17:53,372
- was funded by the
- National Dairy Council.
- 423
- 00:17:53,372 --> 00:17:55,441
- The egg industry
- similarly fund studies
- 424
- 00:17:55,441 --> 00:17:57,342
- that confuse consumers
- by making claims
- 425
- 00:17:57,342 --> 00:17:59,745
- that eggs don't negatively
- affect heart function.
- 426
- 00:17:59,745 --> 00:18:01,447
- That is only when
- compared to eating
- 427
- 00:18:01,447 --> 00:18:04,116
- a McDonald's Sausage McMuffin?
- 428
- 00:18:04,116 --> 00:18:05,584
- So, what they're
- really saying is that
- 429
- 00:18:05,584 --> 00:18:08,620
- eating eggs is just as
- bad as eating a McMuffin.
- 430
- 00:18:08,620 --> 00:18:10,923
- - When you eat foods
- like beef or steak
- 431
- 00:18:10,923 --> 00:18:12,958
- or a processed meat, a hotdog,
- 432
- 00:18:12,958 --> 00:18:14,326
- you're not just
- getting saturated fat,
- 433
- 00:18:14,326 --> 00:18:17,029
- you're also getting
- other additional toxins
- 434
- 00:18:17,029 --> 00:18:18,464
- that are in that food.
- 435
- 00:18:18,464 --> 00:18:20,732
- There's heme iron, carcinogens,
- and processing chemicals.
- 436
- 00:18:20,732 --> 00:18:22,601
- This is all a lot
- more complicated
- 437
- 00:18:22,601 --> 00:18:24,770
- than just looking
- at saturated fat.
- 438
- 00:18:24,770 --> 00:18:28,674
- - The strategy is not on making
- their products any safer.
- 439
- 00:18:28,674 --> 00:18:31,910
- The strategy is to just
- try to confuse the public
- 440
- 00:18:31,910 --> 00:18:33,579
- to introduce doubt.
- 441
- 00:18:33,579 --> 00:18:35,547
- You know, there was a famous
- tobacco industry memo.
- 442
- 00:18:35,547 --> 00:18:37,549
- It's called, Doubt
- is our product.
- 443
- 00:18:37,549 --> 00:18:38,817
- That's all they had to do.
- 444
- 00:18:38,817 --> 00:18:40,486
- They didn't have to
- convince the Americans
- 445
- 00:18:40,486 --> 00:18:42,554
- that smoking was healthy, right?
- 446
- 00:18:42,554 --> 00:18:46,225
- They just had to introduce
- doubt then they would win.
- 447
- 00:18:46,225 --> 00:18:47,926
- Well, if there's just
- enough controversy,
- 448
- 00:18:47,926 --> 00:18:49,461
- people kinda throw
- up their hands,
- 449
- 00:18:49,461 --> 00:18:50,496
- "I don't know what to eat."
- 450
- 00:18:50,496 --> 00:18:52,498
- Confusion is their gain.
- 451
- 00:18:53,866 --> 00:18:55,767
- I really don't think people
- thought what they ate
- 452
- 00:18:55,767 --> 00:18:57,236
- led to heart disease.
- 453
- 00:18:57,236 --> 00:18:59,171
- They think. "Oh, it's
- genetic, my parents had it."
- 454
- 00:18:59,171 --> 00:19:01,006
- I don't think
- people really think
- 455
- 00:19:01,006 --> 00:19:02,541
- that what they ate
- lead to diabetes.
- 456
- 00:19:02,541 --> 00:19:04,543
- They think, "Oh, my parents
- had it, I was gonna get it."
- 457
- 00:19:04,543 --> 00:19:06,478
- And certainly, cancer,
- they don't think that way.
- 458
- 00:19:06,478 --> 00:19:09,314
- - People have bad lifestyles
- that they've inherited.
- 459
- 00:19:09,314 --> 00:19:10,916
- Environmentally,
- they've been exposed
- 460
- 00:19:10,916 --> 00:19:12,518
- to a certain way of
- eating and living
- 461
- 00:19:12,518 --> 00:19:14,720
- they've carried on
- into their adulthood,
- 462
- 00:19:14,720 --> 00:19:16,255
- passed on to their children.
- 463
- 00:19:16,255 --> 00:19:19,858
- That is why they go on to
- develop the same diseases
- 464
- 00:19:19,858 --> 00:19:22,661
- that their parents
- and grandparents may
- have had before them
- 465
- 00:19:22,661 --> 00:19:24,229
- but it is not inevitable.
- 466
- 00:19:24,229 --> 00:19:25,998
- - Even if you have a
- genetic predisposition,
- 467
- 00:19:25,998 --> 00:19:28,700
- it doesn't mean it's going
- to necessarily manifest.
- 468
- 00:19:28,700 --> 00:19:30,435
- What determines whether
- it manifests or not,
- 469
- 00:19:30,435 --> 00:19:32,104
- maybe those
- epigenetic variables,
- 470
- 00:19:32,104 --> 00:19:33,539
- the things that you can control.
- 471
- 00:19:33,539 --> 00:19:35,407
- The environmental factors,
- the dietary factors,
- 472
- 00:19:35,407 --> 00:19:36,875
- the lifestyle factors.
- 473
- 00:19:36,875 --> 00:19:39,444
- - So, we can actually change
- the expression of genes.
- 474
- 00:19:39,444 --> 00:19:41,847
- Tumor-suppressing genes,
- tumor activating genes
- 475
- 00:19:41,847 --> 00:19:45,117
- by what we eat, what
- we put into our bodies.
- 476
- 00:19:45,117 --> 00:19:49,488
- So, even if you've been
- dealt a bad genetic deck,
- 477
- 00:19:49,488 --> 00:19:52,424
- you can still
- reshuffle it with diet.
- 478
- 00:19:52,424 --> 00:19:53,892
- - I'd always thought
- 479
- 00:19:53,892 --> 00:19:55,394
- that I would develop heart
- disease at a young age
- 480
- 00:19:55,394 --> 00:19:57,362
- because both my dad and
- grandpa had heart attacks.
- 481
- 00:19:57,362 --> 00:19:59,164
- I was taught that
- they were genetic,
- 482
- 00:19:59,164 --> 00:20:01,266
- but the heart attacks probably
- had less to do with genes
- 483
- 00:20:01,266 --> 00:20:03,669
- and more to do with
- their diets high in meat.
- 484
- 00:20:03,669 --> 00:20:06,104
- That's why when I went on the
- American Heart Association's
- 485
- 00:20:06,104 --> 00:20:09,341
- Heart-healthy Recipes
- page, I could not believe
- 486
- 00:20:09,341 --> 00:20:12,611
- they had an entire
- section on beef recipes?
- 487
- 00:20:12,611 --> 00:20:14,746
- This was just like the
- American Cancer Society
- 488
- 00:20:14,746 --> 00:20:17,916
- encouraging eating Group 1
- carcinogens on their site.
- 489
- 00:20:17,916 --> 00:20:21,920
- Meat loaf, pork loin,
- steak on your recipe list?
- 490
- 00:20:23,322 --> 00:20:24,856
- Are you kidding me?
- 491
- 00:20:24,856 --> 00:20:27,326
- It's like this menu's trying
- to get people heart attacks.
- 492
- 00:20:27,326 --> 00:20:29,461
- At your website, we noticed
- heart-healthy recipes,
- 493
- 00:20:29,461 --> 00:20:33,632
- and we're kinda bewildered by
- why there's a bunch of recipes
- 494
- 00:20:35,067 --> 00:20:38,870
- on the whole section
- on beef, beef recipes,
- 495
- 00:20:38,870 --> 00:20:41,006
- and there's also a
- section on egg recipes
- 496
- 00:20:41,006 --> 00:20:43,241
- when there's such a strong link
- 497
- 00:20:43,241 --> 00:20:46,845
- between beef, red meat,
- and heart disease?
- 498
- 00:20:48,480 --> 00:20:51,550
- - [Man] I honestly don't know
- 'cause I don't do that ideas.
- 499
- 00:20:51,550 --> 00:20:53,352
- That's not what I do.
- 500
- 00:20:53,352 --> 00:20:54,920
- - [Kip] Another organization
- rep that wasn't able
- 501
- 00:20:54,920 --> 00:20:56,488
- to answer my questions
- 502
- 00:20:56,488 --> 00:20:59,391
- but he said that he'd have
- someone get in touch shortly.
- 503
- 00:20:59,391 --> 00:21:01,193
- I was, however, able to
- talk to the president
- 504
- 00:21:01,193 --> 00:21:04,663
- of the American College of
- Cardiology, Dr. Kim Williams.
- 505
- 00:21:04,663 --> 00:21:06,331
- - So, the American
- College of Cardiology
- 506
- 00:21:06,331 --> 00:21:09,901
- is a 47,000-member and
- growing organization
- 507
- 00:21:11,336 --> 00:21:13,639
- with a a dedicated mission
- to reduce heart disease
- 508
- 00:21:13,639 --> 00:21:15,907
- and to improve patients' lives.
- 509
- 00:21:15,907 --> 00:21:18,176
- And if you look at the
- incidence of hypertension
- 510
- 00:21:18,176 --> 00:21:21,113
- and diabetes and
- mortality in men,
- 511
- 00:21:21,113 --> 00:21:24,850
- they actually get reduced
- as you go higher and higher
- 512
- 00:21:24,850 --> 00:21:27,686
- in terms of how much you
- restrict animal products.
- 513
- 00:21:27,686 --> 00:21:28,920
- - [Kip] What about fish?
- 514
- 00:21:28,920 --> 00:21:30,622
- - So, fish is a
- little different.
- 515
- 00:21:30,622 --> 00:21:34,793
- You've got the four worries
- which is PCBs, mercury,
- 516
- 00:21:37,295 --> 00:21:39,765
- saturated fat, and cholesterol.
- 517
- 00:21:39,765 --> 00:21:42,868
- And the cholesterol
- is all over the place.
- 518
- 00:21:42,868 --> 00:21:44,903
- You can eat tuna in water,
- 519
- 00:21:44,903 --> 00:21:48,173
- that'll be almost less
- than a glass of milk
- 520
- 00:21:48,173 --> 00:21:52,911
- to salmon or tilapia which
- is higher than a pork chop.
- 521
- 00:21:52,911 --> 00:21:54,846
- - If you look
- objectively at fish,
- 522
- 00:21:54,846 --> 00:21:58,116
- what you find is they become
- essentially mercury sponges.
- 523
- 00:21:58,116 --> 00:21:59,418
- And that's why in many
- parts of the country,
- 524
- 00:21:59,418 --> 00:22:01,420
- they warn you, "Don't
- have more than so many
- 525
- 00:22:01,420 --> 00:22:02,821
- "of these fish a week
- 526
- 00:22:02,821 --> 00:22:04,156
- "because it's getting
- too much mercury.
- 527
- 00:22:04,156 --> 00:22:05,090
- "It can kill you."
- 528
- 00:22:05,090 --> 00:22:06,825
- - Fish are eaten by bigger fish
- 529
- 00:22:06,825 --> 00:22:08,694
- who are eaten by a bigger
- fish and these pesticides
- 530
- 00:22:08,694 --> 00:22:12,164
- or herbicides bioaccumulate
- in the fish flesh.
- 531
- 00:22:12,164 --> 00:22:13,932
- And the big fish
- including the salmon
- 532
- 00:22:13,932 --> 00:22:15,734
- which people think
- is a healthiest fish.
- 533
- 00:22:15,734 --> 00:22:18,236
- Truth is the amount of
- pesticides and herbicides
- 534
- 00:22:18,236 --> 00:22:20,772
- in the flesh of these
- fish are shocking
- 535
- 00:22:20,772 --> 00:22:22,040
- and they have estrogenic
- 536
- 00:22:22,040 --> 00:22:24,643
- and cancer promoting
- properties in them.
- 537
- 00:22:24,643 --> 00:22:26,244
- - They'll say, "Well,
- but don't sardines
- 538
- 00:22:26,244 --> 00:22:29,047
- "have less concentration
- of toxic waste products
- 539
- 00:22:29,047 --> 00:22:30,549
- "than other ones?"
- 540
- 00:22:30,549 --> 00:22:33,785
- Something being less toxic
- doesn't make it healthy.
- 541
- 00:22:33,785 --> 00:22:35,620
- It just makes it less toxic.
- 542
- 00:22:35,620 --> 00:22:38,356
- - Farmed fish is by
- no means healthier.
- 543
- 00:22:38,356 --> 00:22:40,959
- All the antibiotics that
- these animals have to be fed
- 544
- 00:22:40,959 --> 00:22:43,962
- similar to chickens and
- turkeys kept in confinement.
- 545
- 00:22:43,962 --> 00:22:45,497
- These fish get infections.
- 546
- 00:22:45,497 --> 00:22:48,033
- They get fungal infections,
- they get bacterial infections,
- 547
- 00:22:48,033 --> 00:22:50,368
- you've gotta feed them
- antifungals, antibiotics,
- 548
- 00:22:50,368 --> 00:22:54,005
- and these substances accumulate
- in the fish flesh as well.
- 549
- 00:22:54,005 --> 00:22:56,108
- - [Kip] I always knew that
- pollution was bad for our health
- 550
- 00:22:56,108 --> 00:22:57,542
- but I never thought about
- 551
- 00:22:57,542 --> 00:22:59,344
- the environmental
- pollutants affecting food.
- 552
- 00:22:59,344 --> 00:23:02,114
- - Dioxins being the most
- toxic man-made chemicals
- 553
- 00:23:02,114 --> 00:23:04,216
- known to science cause
- all sorts of things.
- 554
- 00:23:04,216 --> 00:23:06,785
- They cause endometriosis,
- they cause cancers,
- 555
- 00:23:06,785 --> 00:23:09,087
- they cause endocrine
- disruption problems.
- 556
- 00:23:09,087 --> 00:23:12,657
- Most of your exposure, 93%
- of it comes from eating meat
- 557
- 00:23:12,657 --> 00:23:14,392
- and dairy products
- because it climbs up
- 558
- 00:23:14,392 --> 00:23:16,161
- in the food chain
- so effectively.
- 559
- 00:23:16,161 --> 00:23:18,697
- So, you can get exposed
- living near these incinerators
- 560
- 00:23:18,697 --> 00:23:21,399
- and breathing it but
- it'll take you 14 years
- 561
- 00:23:21,399 --> 00:23:24,002
- to breathe in as
- much dioxin as a cow
- 562
- 00:23:24,002 --> 00:23:26,404
- ingest by eating the
- grass in one day,
- 563
- 00:23:26,404 --> 00:23:28,907
- and that dioxin will
- accumulate in as fat
- 564
- 00:23:28,907 --> 00:23:31,109
- which includes the
- milk and the meat
- 565
- 00:23:31,109 --> 00:23:33,145
- and anyone eating
- meat or dairy products
- 566
- 00:23:33,145 --> 00:23:35,514
- is going to get
- that dose of dioxin
- 567
- 00:23:35,514 --> 00:23:37,682
- so it climbs up the
- food chain every step.
- 568
- 00:23:37,682 --> 00:23:41,019
- Men have no way in their
- bodies to get rid of dioxins
- 569
- 00:23:41,019 --> 00:23:42,921
- but women have two ways.
- 570
- 00:23:42,921 --> 00:23:44,823
- They're both involving
- having a baby.
- 571
- 00:23:44,823 --> 00:23:47,125
- One is that dioxin
- crosses the placenta
- 572
- 00:23:47,125 --> 00:23:48,560
- into the growing infant,
- 573
- 00:23:48,560 --> 00:23:51,163
- and the other is that it
- comes out from the breastmilk.
- 574
- 00:23:51,163 --> 00:23:53,265
- So, if you have a meat
- and dairy consuming mother
- 575
- 00:23:53,265 --> 00:23:54,833
- breastfeeding that infant,
- 576
- 00:23:54,833 --> 00:23:57,903
- then the highest impacts
- of toxic exposure
- 577
- 00:23:57,903 --> 00:24:00,038
- like mercury and dioxins
- will give that infant.
- 578
- 00:24:00,038 --> 00:24:02,107
- - Pregnant women are told
- of certain types of fish
- 579
- 00:24:02,107 --> 00:24:04,009
- should be avoided but what about
- 580
- 00:24:04,009 --> 00:24:07,846
- all these other animal
- products which are introducing.
- 581
- 00:24:07,846 --> 00:24:09,781
- Imagine as the
- fetus is developing,
- 582
- 00:24:09,781 --> 00:24:12,584
- introducing these
- very harmful toxins
- 583
- 00:24:12,584 --> 00:24:16,054
- which create reproductive
- abnormalities,
- 584
- 00:24:16,054 --> 00:24:18,523
- developmental problems
- and hormonal issues
- 585
- 00:24:18,523 --> 00:24:20,458
- right as the child
- is developing,
- 586
- 00:24:20,458 --> 00:24:22,327
- the most critical
- stage of development.
- 587
- 00:24:22,327 --> 00:24:24,196
- - It does make you
- worry when people say,
- 588
- 00:24:24,196 --> 00:24:26,164
- "Don't you wanna have
- a little bit of milk
- 589
- 00:24:26,164 --> 00:24:27,632
- "because you're pregnant?
- 590
- 00:24:27,632 --> 00:24:28,733
- "Don't you wanna have some
- fish 'cause you're pregnant?"
- 591
- 00:24:28,733 --> 00:24:29,668
- Who do you think is gonna get
- 592
- 00:24:29,668 --> 00:24:31,102
- the chemicals that are in that?
- 593
- 00:24:31,102 --> 00:24:34,339
- - All these environmental
- toxins and toxins from the feed
- 594
- 00:24:34,339 --> 00:24:37,042
- that they're being fed
- accumulate in their tissues
- 595
- 00:24:37,042 --> 00:24:39,277
- and are released into the mother
- 596
- 00:24:39,277 --> 00:24:41,213
- and unfortunately, to the child
- 597
- 00:24:41,213 --> 00:24:43,682
- when you eat these products
- when you're pregnant.
- 598
- 00:24:43,682 --> 00:24:47,319
- So, this includes
- antibiotics, hormones,
- 599
- 00:24:47,319 --> 00:24:49,654
- steroids in animal feed.
- 600
- 00:24:49,654 --> 00:24:53,725
- Commercial animals are
- largely fed GMO corn and soy
- 601
- 00:24:53,725 --> 00:24:56,361
- which are very
- laden in pesticides.
- 602
- 00:24:56,361 --> 00:24:58,697
- PCBs have been
- banned since the '70s
- 603
- 00:24:58,697 --> 00:25:02,067
- but they persist in the
- environment, dioxins.
- 604
- 00:25:02,067 --> 00:25:06,504
- All of these compounds can
- create hormonal reproductive,
- 605
- 00:25:06,504 --> 00:25:08,740
- developmental damage as well.
- 606
- 00:25:08,740 --> 00:25:12,510
- - Eating organic beef,
- poultry, pork or fish
- 607
- 00:25:12,510 --> 00:25:15,180
- will not help you avoid
- contaminants like mercury,
- 608
- 00:25:15,180 --> 00:25:17,415
- like dioxins, like strontium-90
- 609
- 00:25:17,415 --> 00:25:19,417
- because they fall
- out over all sorts
- 610
- 00:25:19,417 --> 00:25:21,119
- of farms fields
- and water bodies,
- 611
- 00:25:21,119 --> 00:25:23,121
- and they don't skip
- over the organic fields.
- 612
- 00:25:23,121 --> 00:25:25,323
- So, really the
- contaminants are coming in
- 613
- 00:25:25,323 --> 00:25:28,426
- regardless of how these
- animals are raised.
- 614
- 00:25:28,426 --> 00:25:29,628
- - [Kip] I had always
- been concerned
- 615
- 00:25:29,628 --> 00:25:31,263
- about the possible
- health impacts of GMOs
- 616
- 00:25:31,263 --> 00:25:33,698
- but then found out that most
- of the world's GMO crops
- 617
- 00:25:33,698 --> 00:25:35,533
- are actually
- consumed by livestock
- 618
- 00:25:35,533 --> 00:25:37,903
- with dairy cows consuming
- the most per animal.
- 619
- 00:25:37,903 --> 00:25:39,638
- This fact with
- everything I'd learned
- 620
- 00:25:39,638 --> 00:25:42,140
- about bioaccumulation
- made dairy terrifying
- 621
- 00:25:42,140 --> 00:25:45,410
- especially considering how
- much cheese I ate in my life.
- 622
- 00:25:45,410 --> 00:25:47,979
- - Cheese is an amazing product
- when you think about it.
- 623
- 00:25:47,979 --> 00:25:51,516
- It's probably one of
- the single desk foods
- 624
- 00:25:51,516 --> 00:25:53,218
- that compromising health
- 625
- 00:25:53,218 --> 00:25:55,053
- that you're gonna
- actually feed to people.
- 626
- 00:25:55,053 --> 00:25:55,987
- Think about it.
- 627
- 00:25:55,987 --> 00:25:57,522
- You've got an animal product,
- 628
- 00:25:57,522 --> 00:26:00,425
- so you've got all the issues
- of biological concentration.
- 629
- 00:26:00,425 --> 00:26:03,261
- You with have a highly
- processed food product
- 630
- 00:26:03,261 --> 00:26:06,231
- and not only does it have
- naturally a lot of saturated fat
- 631
- 00:26:06,231 --> 00:26:07,933
- but you put a lot
- of salt into it.
- 632
- 00:26:07,933 --> 00:26:09,868
- - There's a strong link
- between dairy foods
- 633
- 00:26:09,868 --> 00:26:13,004
- and autoimmune diseases
- so that can show itself up
- 634
- 00:26:13,004 --> 00:26:16,474
- as excessive production of mucus
- 635
- 00:26:16,474 --> 00:26:18,977
- and exacerbation of asthma
- and kids who are prone to that
- 636
- 00:26:18,977 --> 00:26:20,578
- and even adults and also,
- 637
- 00:26:20,578 --> 00:26:21,913
- there's an association
- between dairy foods
- 638
- 00:26:21,913 --> 00:26:25,517
- and multiple sclerosis
- and type 1 diabetes,
- 639
- 00:26:25,517 --> 00:26:27,152
- which is an autoimmune disease
- 640
- 00:26:27,152 --> 00:26:29,788
- and other
- rheumatological problems.
- 641
- 00:26:29,788 --> 00:26:33,491
- - Cow's milk is baby
- calf growth food.
- 642
- 00:26:33,491 --> 00:26:35,627
- That's what the stuff is.
- 643
- 00:26:35,627 --> 00:26:37,796
- There's absolutely no
- child or human on earth
- 644
- 00:26:37,796 --> 00:26:39,798
- who actually needs
- the milk of a cow
- 645
- 00:26:39,798 --> 00:26:42,734
- any more than they need the
- milk of a giraffe or a mouse.
- 646
- 00:26:42,734 --> 00:26:45,904
- - Most people in the world
- are lactose intolerant.
- 647
- 00:26:45,904 --> 00:26:47,505
- I mean, that's the
- normal state of affairs.
- 648
- 00:26:47,505 --> 00:26:50,175
- Why would your body
- create this enzyme
- 649
- 00:26:50,175 --> 00:26:53,011
- to like just lactose after
- weaning, after infancy?
- 650
- 00:26:53,011 --> 00:26:54,512
- It doesn't make any sense.
- 651
- 00:26:54,512 --> 00:26:57,649
- - 73% of African-Americans
- are lactose intolerant,
- 652
- 00:26:57,649 --> 00:27:01,786
- 95% of Asians, roughly
- 70% of Native Americans,
- 653
- 00:27:03,321 --> 00:27:06,725
- and about 53% of
- Hispanic Americans are
- lactose intolerant.
- 654
- 00:27:06,725 --> 00:27:09,894
- Our government is encouraging
- Americans of color
- 655
- 00:27:09,894 --> 00:27:13,098
- to eat foods that it knows
- it's going to make them ill.
- 656
- 00:27:13,098 --> 00:27:14,566
- Ultimately, what that is down to
- 657
- 00:27:14,566 --> 00:27:16,735
- is the government are selling
- me as an African-American
- 658
- 00:27:16,735 --> 00:27:18,703
- to eat food that's gonna make
- me ill for no health benefit
- 659
- 00:27:18,703 --> 00:27:21,539
- so that it will
- benefit dairy farmers
- 660
- 00:27:21,539 --> 00:27:24,042
- as if the farmers have
- institutionalized racism.
- 661
- 00:27:24,042 --> 00:27:26,978
- - Yeah, milk is a risky
- food for human consumption.
- 662
- 00:27:26,978 --> 00:27:30,048
- As a pediatrician, I
- see it on a daily basis,
- 663
- 00:27:30,048 --> 00:27:32,617
- children suffering
- from conditions
- 664
- 00:27:32,617 --> 00:27:35,720
- that are linked or associated
- to dairy consumption
- 665
- 00:27:35,720 --> 00:27:39,090
- such as eczema,
- acne, constipation,
- 666
- 00:27:39,090 --> 00:27:42,394
- acid reflux,
- iron-deficiency anemia.
- 667
- 00:27:42,394 --> 00:27:44,329
- Cow's milk protein is
- the most allergenic food.
- 668
- 00:27:44,329 --> 00:27:46,765
- - People say, "Well no,
- I want a hormone-free,
- 669
- 00:27:46,765 --> 00:27:49,367
- "not injected with
- bovine growth hormone,"
- 670
- 00:27:49,367 --> 00:27:53,371
- but milk is this hormonal
- fluid which is packed
- 671
- 00:27:53,371 --> 00:27:56,574
- with sex hormones and
- natural sex steroid hormones
- 672
- 00:27:56,574 --> 00:27:58,076
- like estrogen, progesterone.
- 673
- 00:27:58,076 --> 00:28:00,111
- In fact, doesn't matter
- if it's conventional milk,
- 674
- 00:28:00,111 --> 00:28:01,980
- doesn't matter if
- it's organic milk.
- 675
- 00:28:01,980 --> 00:28:04,282
- Milk without hormones,
- this is an oxymoron.
- 676
- 00:28:04,282 --> 00:28:07,385
- Organic dairy has just
- as much saturated fat
- 677
- 00:28:07,385 --> 00:28:10,255
- and cholesterol and
- galactose, and all the things
- 678
- 00:28:10,255 --> 00:28:13,224
- that you don't want
- as conventional dairy.
- 679
- 00:28:13,224 --> 00:28:15,093
- - Dairy products, in
- general, have a lot
- 680
- 00:28:15,093 --> 00:28:17,262
- of other products
- associated with it,
- 681
- 00:28:17,262 --> 00:28:18,930
- not the least of which is pus.
- 682
- 00:28:18,930 --> 00:28:21,466
- I mean, they actually have
- laws limiting how much pus
- 683
- 00:28:21,466 --> 00:28:23,568
- you can actually have in
- the milk and still sell it.
- 684
- 00:28:23,568 --> 00:28:26,905
- I believe it's like
- 750,000 pus cells per CC.
- 685
- 00:28:26,905 --> 00:28:28,573
- Because, I mean, you
- wouldn't want too much pus,
- 686
- 00:28:28,573 --> 00:28:30,842
- it would be like pure
- pus people might object.
- 687
- 00:28:30,842 --> 00:28:32,077
- In fact, you could
- think of cheese
- 688
- 00:28:32,077 --> 00:28:34,913
- as coagulated cow
- pus if you will.
- 689
- 00:28:34,913 --> 00:28:36,181
- - [Kip] But I was always told
- 690
- 00:28:36,181 --> 00:28:37,982
- that we need milk
- for strong bones.
- 691
- 00:28:37,982 --> 00:28:41,152
- - I'm Jane Chapman
- and not too long ago,
- 692
- 00:28:41,152 --> 00:28:44,756
- finally got some x-rays
- of the hips and back.
- 693
- 00:28:44,756 --> 00:28:48,326
- Severe bilateral
- osteoarthritis of the hips
- 694
- 00:28:49,761 --> 00:28:52,497
- and actually, I'm scheduled
- for two hip replacements.
- 695
- 00:28:52,497 --> 00:28:56,901
- That's bone on bone, it is
- the grinding of the joints.
- 696
- 00:28:56,901 --> 00:28:59,304
- My stability is scary.
- 697
- 00:28:59,304 --> 00:29:02,207
- I hold on to the
- walls if I'm at home.
- 698
- 00:29:02,207 --> 00:29:04,676
- I've been told to use a walker.
- 699
- 00:29:04,676 --> 00:29:06,444
- I'm only 61.
- 700
- 00:29:06,444 --> 00:29:08,046
- This is not how you're
- supposed to live
- 701
- 00:29:08,046 --> 00:29:09,414
- when you're this old.
- 702
- 00:29:09,414 --> 00:29:12,851
- I have a really hard
- time believing that.
- 703
- 00:29:14,886 --> 00:29:16,721
- That's all that's left.
- 704
- 00:29:16,721 --> 00:29:19,357
- - Researchers have studied
- bone development in kids
- 705
- 00:29:19,357 --> 00:29:21,926
- and whether they get stress
- fractures and that kind of thing
- 706
- 00:29:21,926 --> 00:29:24,529
- and the kids drink the most
- milk have zero protection.
- 707
- 00:29:24,529 --> 00:29:26,631
- Milk does not
- build strong bones.
- 708
- 00:29:26,631 --> 00:29:28,833
- Harvard researchers have
- looked at a large group
- 709
- 00:29:28,833 --> 00:29:31,369
- of older women over
- an 18-year period.
- 710
- 00:29:31,369 --> 00:29:34,572
- The milk drinkers had zero
- protection from fractures.
- 711
- 00:29:34,572 --> 00:29:36,307
- So, this old notion
- that somehow,
- 712
- 00:29:36,307 --> 00:29:38,009
- milk is gonna build strong bones
- 713
- 00:29:38,009 --> 00:29:40,545
- are protect your bones
- later in life, it's a myth.
- 714
- 00:29:40,545 --> 00:29:43,882
- - People that drink milk have
- higher rates of hip fractures,
- 715
- 00:29:43,882 --> 00:29:47,552
- have more cancer, and
- live shorter lives.
- 716
- 00:29:47,552 --> 00:29:48,786
- - [Kip] It turns
- out that countries
- 717
- 00:29:48,786 --> 00:29:50,054
- with the highest
- dairy consumption
- 718
- 00:29:50,054 --> 00:29:52,190
- also have the highest
- rates of osteoporosis.
- 719
- 00:29:52,190 --> 00:29:55,593
- So clearly, drinking more milk
- doesn't protect your bones.
- 720
- 00:29:55,593 --> 00:29:57,529
- Doing more research, I've
- found that dairy was linked
- 721
- 00:29:57,529 --> 00:30:00,031
- to many different types
- of cancer as well.
- 722
- 00:30:00,031 --> 00:30:01,499
- Just like many of us,
- 723
- 00:30:01,499 --> 00:30:03,601
- I thought that the majority
- of cancer's due to genes
- 724
- 00:30:03,601 --> 00:30:07,038
- but only 5% to 10% of
- cancer's actually genetic.
- 725
- 00:30:07,038 --> 00:30:10,441
- - Any cancer is caused
- by a DNA mutation
- 726
- 00:30:10,441 --> 00:30:12,177
- but that's not enough so that
- 727
- 00:30:12,177 --> 00:30:13,444
- can cause that first cancer cell
- 728
- 00:30:13,444 --> 00:30:15,547
- but one cancer cell
- never killed anyone.
- 729
- 00:30:15,547 --> 00:30:17,282
- Two cancer cells
- never killed anyone
- 730
- 00:30:17,282 --> 00:30:19,951
- but a billion cancer cells,
- now, we're running into problems
- 731
- 00:30:19,951 --> 00:30:22,287
- so we need to reduce the
- growth factors in our body
- 732
- 00:30:22,287 --> 00:30:24,756
- like IGF-1, insulin-like
- growth factor 1.
- 733
- 00:30:24,756 --> 00:30:26,491
- It's this cancer
- promoting growth hormone
- 734
- 00:30:26,491 --> 00:30:28,760
- involved in every
- stage of cancer cell,
- 735
- 00:30:28,760 --> 00:30:31,362
- growth and spread
- and metastasis.
- 736
- 00:30:31,362 --> 00:30:35,099
- Any animal protein boosts
- the level of IGF-1.
- 737
- 00:30:35,099 --> 00:30:36,801
- - Dairy products
- increases your risk
- 738
- 00:30:36,801 --> 00:30:38,570
- for various forms of cancer
- 739
- 00:30:38,570 --> 00:30:40,605
- especially those
- related to your hormones
- 740
- 00:30:40,605 --> 00:30:43,274
- so breast cancer, prostate
- cancer, ovarian cancer.
- 741
- 00:30:43,274 --> 00:30:46,377
- So, this is not a product
- even in its most pure state
- 742
- 00:30:46,377 --> 00:30:48,746
- you wanna be consuming because
- it does come with risk.
- 743
- 00:30:48,746 --> 00:30:50,281
- - [Kip] I've found out
- that dairy can increase
- 744
- 00:30:50,281 --> 00:30:53,451
- a man's chance of getting
- prostate cancer by 34%.
- 745
- 00:30:53,451 --> 00:30:55,019
- And for women who've
- had breast cancer,
- 746
- 00:30:55,019 --> 00:30:57,188
- just one serving of
- whole dairy a day
- 747
- 00:30:57,188 --> 00:31:00,525
- can increase their chance of
- dying from the disease, 49%,
- 748
- 00:31:00,525 --> 00:31:03,461
- and dying from anything, 64%.
- 749
- 00:31:03,461 --> 00:31:05,997
- Why weren't breast cancer
- sites like Susan G. Komen
- 750
- 00:31:05,997 --> 00:31:08,366
- warning everyone about this?
- 751
- 00:31:09,767 --> 00:31:11,302
- - [Jocelyn] You're
- calling Susan G. Komen.
- 752
- 00:31:11,302 --> 00:31:13,571
- This is Jocelyn,
- how may I help you?
- 753
- 00:31:13,571 --> 00:31:15,640
- - We're wondering why you
- don't have a huge warning
- 754
- 00:31:15,640 --> 00:31:17,942
- about the dangers of consuming
- dairy in your website
- 755
- 00:31:17,942 --> 00:31:20,211
- when there's a direct
- link to breast cancer?
- 756
- 00:31:20,211 --> 00:31:21,679
- There was a study published
- 757
- 00:31:21,679 --> 00:31:23,081
- in the Journal of the
- National Cancer Institute,
- 758
- 00:31:23,081 --> 00:31:25,250
- that found out women
- consuming dairy
- 759
- 00:31:25,250 --> 00:31:26,784
- who has had breast cancer
- 760
- 00:31:26,784 --> 00:31:30,188
- increases their risk of
- dying of breast cancer 49%.
- 761
- 00:31:30,188 --> 00:31:33,858
- Just wondering why it's
- not on your website?
- 762
- 00:31:35,293 --> 00:31:36,861
- - [Jocelyn] We cannot answer
- these types of questions.
- 763
- 00:31:36,861 --> 00:31:39,030
- - [Kip] Once again, another
- health organization rep
- 764
- 00:31:39,030 --> 00:31:41,299
- saying someone else would
- have to answer my question.
- 765
- 00:31:41,299 --> 00:31:43,201
- Rather than risk
- being stood up again,
- 766
- 00:31:43,201 --> 00:31:45,370
- I went straight to the
- local Susan G. Komen chapter
- 767
- 00:31:45,370 --> 00:31:47,705
- to see if they would
- answer my questions.
- 768
- 00:31:53,077 --> 00:31:55,313
- They didn't wanna answer my
- questions in person either
- 769
- 00:31:55,313 --> 00:31:57,215
- and told us to stop filming,
- 770
- 00:31:57,215 --> 00:31:58,483
- but promised they
- would connect me
- 771
- 00:31:58,483 --> 00:32:01,085
- to the national office directly.
- 772
- 00:32:03,154 --> 00:32:05,556
- Susan G. Komen's pink ribbon
- campaign had done a lot
- 773
- 00:32:05,556 --> 00:32:07,759
- to raise awareness
- for breast cancer,
- 774
- 00:32:07,759 --> 00:32:10,228
- although, it was confusing
- to see pink ribbons
- 775
- 00:32:10,228 --> 00:32:12,697
- on dairy yogurt containers.
- 776
- 00:32:12,697 --> 00:32:14,799
- - Breast cancer can be prevented
- 777
- 00:32:14,799 --> 00:32:17,268
- with a healthy diet and
- lifestyle but we're not,
- 778
- 00:32:17,268 --> 00:32:19,904
- we're talking about pink ribbons
- 779
- 00:32:19,904 --> 00:32:22,140
- and putting all the money
- into research for the cure.
- 780
- 00:32:22,140 --> 00:32:25,843
- I, for one, know that I would
- want my daughter, my mother,
- 781
- 00:32:25,843 --> 00:32:28,913
- me, I wanna focus on not
- getting to that point
- 782
- 00:32:28,913 --> 00:32:30,148
- and that's where I would like
- 783
- 00:32:30,148 --> 00:32:32,550
- to see more energy
- and effort put.
- 784
- 00:32:32,550 --> 00:32:34,385
- - [Kip] I had been a
- hardcore cheesaholic
- 785
- 00:32:34,385 --> 00:32:36,054
- virtually my entire life
- 786
- 00:32:36,054 --> 00:32:37,655
- despite the risks but
- like so many others,
- 787
- 00:32:37,655 --> 00:32:39,757
- I seem to have been
- addicted to it.
- 788
- 00:32:39,757 --> 00:32:42,760
- - It turns out that
- the casein protein,
- 789
- 00:32:42,760 --> 00:32:45,229
- that's the main protein
- in dairy products
- 790
- 00:32:45,229 --> 00:32:46,898
- particularly in
- cheese, it breaks apart
- 791
- 00:32:46,898 --> 00:32:49,000
- in the human digestion to create
- 792
- 00:32:49,000 --> 00:32:50,935
- what are called casomorphins,
- 793
- 00:32:50,935 --> 00:32:54,472
- casein-derived
- morphine-like compounds.
- 794
- 00:32:54,472 --> 00:32:56,007
- They go to the brain
- and they attach
- 795
- 00:32:56,007 --> 00:32:59,677
- to the vary same receptor
- that heroin attaches to.
- 796
- 00:32:59,677 --> 00:33:01,813
- Don't get me wrong, they're
- not as strong as that
- 797
- 00:33:01,813 --> 00:33:04,849
- but they are strong enough
- to make you come back
- 798
- 00:33:04,849 --> 00:33:06,451
- again and again and again
- 799
- 00:33:06,451 --> 00:33:08,052
- despite the fact that
- you're gaining weight,
- 800
- 00:33:08,052 --> 00:33:10,021
- you're more unhealthy
- than you've ever been,
- 801
- 00:33:10,021 --> 00:33:12,523
- but that cheese just
- calls out to people.
- 802
- 00:33:12,523 --> 00:33:15,259
- - Casomorphin may
- play a role in SIDS,
- 803
- 00:33:15,259 --> 00:33:18,363
- in sudden infant death syndrome,
- they play a role in autism.
- 804
- 00:33:18,363 --> 00:33:22,233
- This is one of the reasons
- why don't want infants
- 805
- 00:33:22,233 --> 00:33:24,435
- drinking milk from cows.
- 806
- 00:33:24,435 --> 00:33:28,005
- - [Kip] Human breastmilk has
- 2.7 grams of casein per liter
- 807
- 00:33:28,005 --> 00:33:31,209
- compared to 26 grams per
- liter for cow's milk.
- 808
- 00:33:31,209 --> 00:33:33,411
- That's practically
- 10 times more.
- 809
- 00:33:33,411 --> 00:33:35,213
- No wonder it's so addictive.
- 810
- 00:33:35,213 --> 00:33:37,014
- This talk about addiction
- made me think about
- 811
- 00:33:37,014 --> 00:33:39,050
- all the drugs animals are fed.
- 812
- 00:33:39,050 --> 00:33:40,284
- I went to the headquarters
- 813
- 00:33:40,284 --> 00:33:41,819
- of the Center for
- Food and Safety,
- 814
- 00:33:41,819 --> 00:33:44,789
- the nation's leading FDA
- government watchdog group
- 815
- 00:33:44,789 --> 00:33:47,959
- to see how concerned we need
- to be about drugs in our food.
- 816
- 00:33:47,959 --> 00:33:51,929
- - So, that we know of there are
- at least 450 different drugs
- 817
- 00:33:51,929 --> 00:33:53,197
- that are administered to animals
- 818
- 00:33:53,197 --> 00:33:54,999
- either alone or in combination.
- 819
- 00:33:54,999 --> 00:33:58,369
- These drugs are given to animals
- for a variety of reasons.
- 820
- 00:33:58,369 --> 00:34:01,105
- Very, very few of which
- are actually beneficial
- 821
- 00:34:01,105 --> 00:34:02,540
- to consumer health.
- 822
- 00:34:02,540 --> 00:34:05,410
- - We've got drug companies
- that work real hard
- 823
- 00:34:05,410 --> 00:34:08,279
- to make sure they can
- sell lots of drugs
- 824
- 00:34:08,279 --> 00:34:11,115
- to people raising cows,
- pigs, and chickens.
- 825
- 00:34:11,115 --> 00:34:13,684
- - The pharmaceutical
- industry sells 80%
- 826
- 00:34:13,684 --> 00:34:15,987
- of all the antibiotics that
- it makes in the United States
- 827
- 00:34:15,987 --> 00:34:17,688
- to animal agriculture.
- 828
- 00:34:17,688 --> 00:34:19,524
- Antibiotic residues
- are found in meat.
- 829
- 00:34:19,524 --> 00:34:21,392
- Other antimicrobials
- are found in meat.
- 830
- 00:34:21,392 --> 00:34:23,361
- There has been a
- ractopamine found in meat.
- 831
- 00:34:23,361 --> 00:34:25,029
- There's been hormones
- found in meat.
- 832
- 00:34:25,029 --> 00:34:27,131
- So, right there, you're talking
- about four different drugs.
- 833
- 00:34:27,131 --> 00:34:29,834
- They could be in the
- same piece of meat.
- 834
- 00:34:29,834 --> 00:34:31,803
- The pharmaceutical
- company supposed
- 835
- 00:34:31,803 --> 00:34:33,938
- to show the safety
- of animal drugs.
- 836
- 00:34:33,938 --> 00:34:35,373
- They're not really
- testing to see
- 837
- 00:34:35,373 --> 00:34:37,108
- what the impacts of these
- drugs are on humans,
- 838
- 00:34:37,108 --> 00:34:38,409
- they're really looking
- to see what impacts
- 839
- 00:34:38,409 --> 00:34:40,077
- that these drugs are on animals.
- 840
- 00:34:40,077 --> 00:34:44,015
- - We try to get information
- on some of the health studies
- 841
- 00:34:44,015 --> 00:34:47,218
- and the environmental studies
- from federal agencies.
- 842
- 00:34:47,218 --> 00:34:52,023
- We get back page after page
- of blacked out information
- 843
- 00:34:52,023 --> 00:34:56,794
- because the company
- claim confidential
- business information.
- 844
- 00:34:56,794 --> 00:35:00,565
- - Consumers have no idea
- what is in the products
- 845
- 00:35:00,565 --> 00:35:01,899
- that they consume.
- 846
- 00:35:01,899 --> 00:35:03,668
- - So, how sick
- something makes me
- 847
- 00:35:03,668 --> 00:35:06,771
- and how bad it pollutes
- the environment
- 848
- 00:35:06,771 --> 00:35:08,673
- is a secret for a company.
- 849
- 00:35:08,673 --> 00:35:10,241
- - In the animal
- agriculture industry,
- 850
- 00:35:10,241 --> 00:35:11,709
- as in the tobacco industry,
- 851
- 00:35:11,709 --> 00:35:14,278
- these companies really
- have a vested interest
- 852
- 00:35:14,278 --> 00:35:17,181
- in making sure that the public
- doesn't have information
- 853
- 00:35:17,181 --> 00:35:19,484
- about their effects
- and what risks
- 854
- 00:35:19,484 --> 00:35:21,686
- are really post
- to consuming them.
- 855
- 00:35:21,686 --> 00:35:23,454
- - Have the system where animals
- 856
- 00:35:23,454 --> 00:35:25,389
- are living in their own waste,
- 857
- 00:35:25,389 --> 00:35:29,193
- they're living next to animals
- that are sick or even dead
- 858
- 00:35:29,193 --> 00:35:31,028
- and they're stuck in
- cages with these animals.
- 859
- 00:35:31,028 --> 00:35:33,564
- The bacteria tends to
- spread that the pathogens
- 860
- 00:35:33,564 --> 00:35:36,334
- that are being created in
- these filthy conditions
- 861
- 00:35:36,334 --> 00:35:38,169
- are breeding resistance
- to antibiotics
- 862
- 00:35:38,169 --> 00:35:40,538
- and the public are
- becoming exposed to those.
- 863
- 00:35:40,538 --> 00:35:42,840
- - We already had people
- dying from salmonella
- 864
- 00:35:42,840 --> 00:35:45,443
- and other things that you eat.
- 865
- 00:35:45,443 --> 00:35:48,412
- We have about 3,000
- people die every year
- 866
- 00:35:48,412 --> 00:35:49,981
- in the United States.
- 867
- 00:35:49,981 --> 00:35:51,983
- That's more than
- the number of people
- 868
- 00:35:51,983 --> 00:35:56,387
- that were killed in 9/11 in
- the Twin Towers of New York.
- 869
- 00:35:56,387 --> 00:35:58,656
- If we had some
- terrorists organization
- 870
- 00:35:58,656 --> 00:36:02,126
- killing 3,000 people a year,
- we would be all over it.
- 871
- 00:36:02,126 --> 00:36:06,063
- The antibiotic-resistant
- bacteria deaths that we have
- 872
- 00:36:06,063 --> 00:36:10,134
- on top of that, you get a
- 20,000 people die in a year.
- 873
- 00:36:10,134 --> 00:36:13,638
- That's seven 9/11's every year.
- 874
- 00:36:14,972 --> 00:36:16,541
- Can you imagine?
- 875
- 00:36:16,541 --> 00:36:18,543
- If that many people
- were being killed
- 876
- 00:36:18,543 --> 00:36:21,646
- by some terrorist group in
- the United States every year,
- 877
- 00:36:21,646 --> 00:36:23,014
- we would find them.
- 878
- 00:36:23,014 --> 00:36:25,349
- - The World Health Organization
- had said we're nearing
- 879
- 00:36:25,349 --> 00:36:27,585
- in a post-antibiotic
- era in medicine.
- 880
- 00:36:27,585 --> 00:36:29,086
- You'll be at risk
- in minor surgeries
- 881
- 00:36:29,086 --> 00:36:31,088
- to have a fatal infection.
- 882
- 00:36:31,088 --> 00:36:32,623
- You'll be at risk
- going to the dentist
- 883
- 00:36:32,623 --> 00:36:35,760
- if you have a tooth extracted
- or be like Civil War medicine.
- 884
- 00:36:35,760 --> 00:36:38,296
- You get an infection in your
- leg and you cut your leg off.
- 885
- 00:36:38,296 --> 00:36:40,731
- So, you have this very
- dangerous situation.
- 886
- 00:36:40,731 --> 00:36:42,733
- By crowding these animals in,
- 887
- 00:36:42,733 --> 00:36:46,304
- they become a perfect
- engine for generating
- 888
- 00:36:46,304 --> 00:36:49,540
- usually a virus that can
- come out into the community.
- 889
- 00:36:49,540 --> 00:36:52,577
- If you lived near a
- swine spray field,
- 890
- 00:36:52,577 --> 00:36:56,080
- not even decay field but
- the waste disposal field,
- 891
- 00:36:56,080 --> 00:37:00,518
- you are three times more
- likely to have MRSA infection.
- 892
- 00:37:00,518 --> 00:37:04,922
- You can't see how that impacts
- the average person's life
- 893
- 00:37:04,922 --> 00:37:07,058
- in Duplin County, North Carolina
- 894
- 00:37:07,058 --> 00:37:09,961
- and not be a little
- upset about it.
- 895
- 00:37:11,028 --> 00:37:12,763
- - From environmental standpoint,
- 896
- 00:37:12,763 --> 00:37:14,198
- from a community standpoint,
- 897
- 00:37:14,198 --> 00:37:16,434
- from all other aspects,
- North Carolina,
- 898
- 00:37:16,434 --> 00:37:18,135
- we're in a state of emergency.
- 899
- 00:37:18,135 --> 00:37:21,105
- We've already had bouts
- of swine flu or H1N1
- 900
- 00:37:21,105 --> 00:37:22,673
- as they prefer to refer to it.
- 901
- 00:37:22,673 --> 00:37:25,576
- That particular swine flu
- incident was originated
- 902
- 00:37:25,576 --> 00:37:28,045
- on a farm here in
- North Carolina.
- 903
- 00:37:28,045 --> 00:37:30,514
- There's approximately
- the same number of hogs
- 904
- 00:37:30,514 --> 00:37:32,450
- in North Carolina
- as there are people.
- 905
- 00:37:32,450 --> 00:37:35,720
- Between eight to 10
- times the amount of feces
- 906
- 00:37:35,720 --> 00:37:37,888
- is produced by a
- hog, an adult hog
- 907
- 00:37:37,888 --> 00:37:40,157
- as compared to an adult human.
- 908
- 00:37:40,157 --> 00:37:41,792
- - [Kip] 10 million
- pigs in North Carolina
- 909
- 00:37:41,792 --> 00:37:44,929
- produce the waste equal
- to 100 million humans.
- 910
- 00:37:44,929 --> 00:37:48,332
- This is the equivalent of the
- entire US eastern sea board
- 911
- 00:37:48,332 --> 00:37:50,868
- flushing their toilets
- into North Carolina
- 912
- 00:37:50,868 --> 00:37:52,336
- but there's no waste treatment.
- 913
- 00:37:52,336 --> 00:37:54,438
- The pigs' waste falls
- through slats in the floors
- 914
- 00:37:54,438 --> 00:37:56,173
- of the sheds they are
- forced to live in.
- 915
- 00:37:56,173 --> 00:37:58,109
- It is then pumped in
- the giant waste pits
- 916
- 00:37:58,109 --> 00:37:59,977
- which leach in the
- rivers and streams
- 917
- 00:37:59,977 --> 00:38:02,546
- and is pumped out
- unfiltered on the fields
- 918
- 00:38:02,546 --> 00:38:06,217
- further polluting
- the environment and
- neighboring health.
- 919
- 00:38:06,217 --> 00:38:07,918
- - When you go back
- and you look at
- 920
- 00:38:07,918 --> 00:38:10,187
- where these hog
- facilities are located,
- 921
- 00:38:10,187 --> 00:38:12,723
- there's a disproportionate
- number of them
- 922
- 00:38:12,723 --> 00:38:15,826
- that are located near
- communities of color,
- 923
- 00:38:15,826 --> 00:38:17,061
- low income communities.
- 924
- 00:38:17,061 --> 00:38:20,231
- It is definitely a
- human rights issue.
- 925
- 00:38:20,231 --> 00:38:22,733
- - My sister, she have
- asthma and you know,
- 926
- 00:38:22,733 --> 00:38:25,336
- her brother, he have asthma.
- 927
- 00:38:25,336 --> 00:38:29,440
- He's three and we don't
- know what she might have.
- 928
- 00:38:30,841 --> 00:38:34,545
- I have asthma, I have
- sinus, I have sarcoidosis,
- 929
- 00:38:34,545 --> 00:38:36,247
- that's what the bacteria,
- 930
- 00:38:36,247 --> 00:38:40,851
- and I have a pacemaker which
- is sick sinus syndrome.
- 931
- 00:38:40,851 --> 00:38:43,220
- Mostly everybody in
- this neighborhood
- 932
- 00:38:43,220 --> 00:38:45,423
- got asthma or even cancer.
- 933
- 00:38:45,423 --> 00:38:49,593
- My neighbor there died from
- cancer probably just last year.
- 934
- 00:38:49,593 --> 00:38:51,696
- My nephew down the
- street, he's got cancer.
- 935
- 00:38:51,696 --> 00:38:54,065
- He's in terminal
- cancer stage four,
- 936
- 00:38:54,065 --> 00:38:56,634
- not a smoker, not a drinker.
- 937
- 00:38:56,634 --> 00:38:59,670
- And it's not in his lungs,
- it's in his lip nose.
- 938
- 00:38:59,670 --> 00:39:03,007
- 'Cause if you live here
- and saw the way they do,
- 939
- 00:39:03,007 --> 00:39:04,709
- you will eat no pork.
- 940
- 00:39:04,709 --> 00:39:07,611
- We don't eat bacon because
- I know it come from.
- 941
- 00:39:07,611 --> 00:39:10,181
- When they die,
- they go into a box
- 942
- 00:39:10,181 --> 00:39:12,550
- and they decompose
- because they swell from,
- 943
- 00:39:12,550 --> 00:39:14,218
- especially from heat.
- 944
- 00:39:14,218 --> 00:39:17,054
- A truck come and pick 'em up,
- 945
- 00:39:17,054 --> 00:39:19,957
- take 'em to the processing
- plant in Roseville,
- 946
- 00:39:19,957 --> 00:39:24,829
- round 'em up into feed, and
- feed it back to the hogs.
- 947
- 00:39:24,829 --> 00:39:26,564
- Come at this door, if
- he's spraying there,
- 948
- 00:39:26,564 --> 00:39:28,032
- it's then come in my face.
- 949
- 00:39:28,032 --> 00:39:29,567
- It hits you right in that face.
- 950
- 00:39:29,567 --> 00:39:31,435
- It smells like something that
- you had never smelled before,
- 951
- 00:39:31,435 --> 00:39:34,538
- something rotten and dead body.
- 952
- 00:39:34,538 --> 00:39:36,107
- It's the family graveyard.
- 953
- 00:39:36,107 --> 00:39:37,908
- I have my grandmother there,
- 954
- 00:39:37,908 --> 00:39:40,511
- my sisters, my brothers.
- 955
- 00:39:40,511 --> 00:39:42,880
- When we go to funeral,
- he used to spray.
- 956
- 00:39:42,880 --> 00:39:44,081
- - [Kip] During the funeral?
- 957
- 00:39:44,081 --> 00:39:46,517
- - Yes, during the funeral.
- 958
- 00:39:46,517 --> 00:39:48,686
- Yeah, they spray,
- 959
- 00:39:48,686 --> 00:39:50,287
- and when the people come,
- 960
- 00:39:50,287 --> 00:39:52,890
- everybody be closing their
- nose up saying how it stank.
- 961
- 00:39:52,890 --> 00:39:56,093
- They can wanna with a cookout
- on Sunday, he'll spray.
- 962
- 00:39:56,093 --> 00:39:57,595
- - Do you think he
- does that on purpose?
- 963
- 00:39:57,595 --> 00:40:00,531
- - I think so 'cause he
- just spray at Sunday.
- 964
- 00:40:00,531 --> 00:40:02,700
- He always spray at Sunday.
- 965
- 00:40:02,700 --> 00:40:06,370
- And most of these area, hog
- houses and turkey house,
- 966
- 00:40:06,370 --> 00:40:09,940
- is in the black area
- or the Hispanic area.
- 967
- 00:40:09,940 --> 00:40:11,575
- It's either or.
- 968
- 00:40:11,575 --> 00:40:13,778
- - Do you think it's
- also civil rights issue?
- 969
- 00:40:13,778 --> 00:40:16,113
- - Yes, yes, I do, yes, I do.
- 970
- 00:40:23,821 --> 00:40:26,190
- - There have been
- times in the past
- 971
- 00:40:26,190 --> 00:40:29,326
- that I have gotten
- rid on the Sunday,
- 972
- 00:40:29,326 --> 00:40:30,795
- gotten rid of going to church
- 973
- 00:40:30,795 --> 00:40:33,631
- and come out and the
- smell was so strong
- 974
- 00:40:33,631 --> 00:40:36,433
- that I had to go
- back and regroup
- 975
- 00:40:36,433 --> 00:40:37,868
- because it got in my clothes
- 976
- 00:40:37,868 --> 00:40:40,437
- and I ain't just
- gonna go to church
- 977
- 00:40:40,437 --> 00:40:43,140
- smelling like hogs,
- I just can't do it.
- 978
- 00:40:43,140 --> 00:40:46,343
- I don't think to grow my kids.
- 979
- 00:40:46,343 --> 00:40:49,180
- They care more about cooperation
- 980
- 00:40:49,180 --> 00:40:52,149
- than do people's inner visions.
- 981
- 00:40:52,149 --> 00:40:53,417
- - And they're gonna keep on.
- 982
- 00:40:53,417 --> 00:40:54,919
- They're gonna put more
- chickens in this state.
- 983
- 00:40:54,919 --> 00:40:56,387
- This is the feces and you're
- in captain of the world
- 984
- 00:40:56,387 --> 00:40:59,423
- right here in North
- Carolina, my state.
- 985
- 00:40:59,423 --> 00:41:01,425
- There's a blue line
- stream right here
- 986
- 00:41:01,425 --> 00:41:03,093
- come into my property almost
- 987
- 00:41:03,093 --> 00:41:04,528
- and the continue
- creek, right here.
- 988
- 00:41:04,528 --> 00:41:06,831
- I've seen that blue line
- stream in that field
- 989
- 00:41:06,831 --> 00:41:08,999
- with feces and urine
- from that hog pen
- 990
- 00:41:08,999 --> 00:41:11,268
- and they can say, "Well,
- we feed the world."
- 991
- 00:41:11,268 --> 00:41:12,903
- They're not interested
- in feeding the world,
- 992
- 00:41:12,903 --> 00:41:14,371
- they're interested
- in making money.
- 993
- 00:41:14,371 --> 00:41:17,141
- You take the money away from
- and let the folks starve
- 994
- 00:41:17,141 --> 00:41:18,609
- 'cause if you want
- to feed the world,
- 995
- 00:41:18,609 --> 00:41:21,312
- you can feed the world with
- more corn, using corn and wheat,
- 996
- 00:41:21,312 --> 00:41:22,813
- instead of that and
- your canned meat.
- 997
- 00:41:22,813 --> 00:41:24,315
- Meat is a luxury item.
- 998
- 00:41:24,315 --> 00:41:27,384
- When we are doing things
- that hurt other people,
- 999
- 00:41:27,384 --> 00:41:30,020
- we're wrong, but a
- lot of good people
- 1000
- 00:41:30,020 --> 00:41:33,691
- will sit there and
- eat bacon knowing
- 1001
- 00:41:33,691 --> 00:41:37,862
- that it's causing someone
- else to be very unhappy.
- 1002
- 00:41:39,463 --> 00:41:40,631
- - I woke up the next morning
- 1003
- 00:41:40,631 --> 00:41:42,066
- to find the Bern
- River had experienced
- 1004
- 00:41:42,066 --> 00:41:43,734
- another massive fish kill
- 1005
- 00:41:43,734 --> 00:41:46,370
- from the pollution
- running off hog farms.
- 1006
- 00:41:46,370 --> 00:41:50,774
- Tens of thousands of fish
- were washing up on shore.
- 1007
- 00:41:50,774 --> 00:41:52,076
- All this talk about
- health, I realized
- 1008
- 00:41:52,076 --> 00:41:55,179
- that I was only focused
- on personal health,
- 1009
- 00:41:55,179 --> 00:41:57,715
- but health started to
- mean so much more to me.
- 1010
- 00:41:57,715 --> 00:42:00,284
- It was about health of my
- family and our communities.
- 1011
- 00:42:00,284 --> 00:42:02,253
- I couldn't honor good,
- conscious supporting industry
- 1012
- 00:42:02,253 --> 00:42:04,755
- that I knew is harming others.
- 1013
- 00:42:06,657 --> 00:42:09,293
- Pollution from animal
- agriculture isn't just an issue
- 1014
- 00:42:09,293 --> 00:42:10,728
- in North Carolina though.
- 1015
- 00:42:10,728 --> 00:42:13,430
- Raising animals for food
- produces more greenhouse gases
- 1016
- 00:42:13,430 --> 00:42:15,900
- than the entire
- transportation sector.
- 1017
- 00:42:15,900 --> 00:42:17,935
- It's the leading cause of
- rainforest destruction,
- 1018
- 00:42:17,935 --> 00:42:20,437
- species extinction,
- ocean dead zones,
- 1019
- 00:42:20,437 --> 00:42:22,673
- and freshwater consumption.
- 1020
- 00:42:27,745 --> 00:42:31,015
- American Diabetes Association
- actually finally got back
- 1021
- 00:42:31,015 --> 00:42:33,684
- and they agreed to an interview.
- 1022
- 00:42:35,052 --> 00:42:37,454
- Preparing for the American
- Diabetes Association interview,
- 1023
- 00:42:37,454 --> 00:42:39,023
- I took a look at their diabetes
- 1024
- 00:42:39,023 --> 00:42:40,758
- diet meal plan recommendations
- 1025
- 00:42:40,758 --> 00:42:42,726
- and they were loaded with foods
- 1026
- 00:42:42,726 --> 00:42:45,262
- associated with
- causing diabetes.
- 1027
- 00:42:45,262 --> 00:42:47,598
- How could they expect
- people not to get diabetes
- 1028
- 00:42:47,598 --> 00:42:50,701
- if this was the food
- they're recommending?
- 1029
- 00:42:50,701 --> 00:42:53,437
- And then, I saw multiple
- peer reviewed studies
- 1030
- 00:42:53,437 --> 00:42:55,572
- published on the National
- Institute of Health website
- 1031
- 00:42:55,572 --> 00:42:57,608
- showing that a low-fat
- plant-based diet
- 1032
- 00:42:57,608 --> 00:42:59,810
- was more than twice as
- powerful at controlling
- 1033
- 00:42:59,810 --> 00:43:03,414
- and even reversing diabetes
- than the 88 recommended diet
- 1034
- 00:43:03,414 --> 00:43:06,250
- that included meat and dairy.
- 1035
- 00:43:06,250 --> 00:43:09,820
- - Well, the mission of the
- American Diabetes Association
- 1036
- 00:43:09,820 --> 00:43:13,991
- is to identify a prevention
- and a cure for diabetes.
- 1037
- 00:43:16,460 --> 00:43:19,063
- But in the meantime,
- to improve the lives
- 1038
- 00:43:19,063 --> 00:43:22,333
- of all people who are
- affected by diabetes.
- 1039
- 00:43:22,333 --> 00:43:25,836
- - And what's the best
- way to prevent this?
- 1040
- 00:43:27,471 --> 00:43:30,307
- - For type II
- diabetes, it's unclear.
- 1041
- 00:43:30,307 --> 00:43:34,745
- We can't prevent type II
- diabetes in everybody.
- 1042
- 00:43:34,745 --> 00:43:37,948
- - During a research, we
- came across a lot of studies
- 1043
- 00:43:37,948 --> 00:43:42,119
- that said that you actually
- could potentially cure
- 1044
- 00:43:43,554 --> 00:43:47,091
- or reverse diabetes with
- a purely plant-based diet.
- 1045
- 00:43:47,091 --> 00:43:49,026
- - I don't believe there
- is sufficient evidence
- 1046
- 00:43:49,026 --> 00:43:50,694
- to demonstrate that.
- 1047
- 00:43:52,162 --> 00:43:56,266
- - How does it compare to the
- ADA diet that you recommend?
- 1048
- 00:43:56,266 --> 00:43:58,135
- - We don't recommend
- a specific diet.
- 1049
- 00:43:58,135 --> 00:44:00,738
- We recommend healthy eating.
- 1050
- 00:44:00,738 --> 00:44:02,239
- - The one that's on the website?
- 1051
- 00:44:02,239 --> 00:44:04,842
- - We recommend healthy
- eating, there is--
- 1052
- 00:44:04,842 --> 00:44:08,512
- - You have a whole list
- of exact day-to-day,
- 1053
- 00:44:09,947 --> 00:44:11,582
- the meal plan, the
- whole meal plan?
- 1054
- 00:44:11,582 --> 00:44:14,785
- - All they are are selections
- of foods to consider.
- 1055
- 00:44:14,785 --> 00:44:17,121
- We do not have a diabetes diet.
- 1056
- 00:44:17,121 --> 00:44:21,525
- - But with that selections,
- do you consider that plan
- 1057
- 00:44:21,525 --> 00:44:24,228
- compared to a whole
- plant-based plan?
- 1058
- 00:44:24,228 --> 00:44:26,497
- - No one's done that study.
- 1059
- 00:44:26,497 --> 00:44:28,265
- - We've found
- actually some studies,
- 1060
- 00:44:28,265 --> 00:44:31,035
- a 74-week study found
- that low-fat vegan diet
- 1061
- 00:44:31,035 --> 00:44:34,772
- versus the ADA plan
- in type II diabetes--
- 1062
- 00:44:34,772 --> 00:44:36,473
- - I think we're done here.
- 1063
- 00:44:36,473 --> 00:44:39,309
- I'm not gonna get into
- an argument about--
- 1064
- 00:44:39,309 --> 00:44:43,180
- - Oh no, I just went
- into studies of, the
- studies of the...
- 1065
- 00:44:43,180 --> 00:44:46,050
- If this is true or if
- it's shows out of--
- 1066
- 00:44:46,050 --> 00:44:47,451
- - Any diet works.
- 1067
- 00:44:49,319 --> 00:44:52,256
- Any diet works if
- people follow it.
- 1068
- 00:44:53,690 --> 00:44:57,061
- - But if it's a diet
- that's not the proper diet,
- 1069
- 00:44:57,061 --> 00:44:59,096
- like if anyone follows
- a diet that the--
- 1070
- 00:44:59,096 --> 00:45:02,699
- - I can't tell you
- what a proper diet is.
- 1071
- 00:45:02,699 --> 00:45:05,469
- I can tell you what
- an improper diet is.
- 1072
- 00:45:05,469 --> 00:45:09,073
- - So then, we can talk
- about the good diets.
- 1073
- 00:45:09,073 --> 00:45:10,007
- I'm not sure why--
- 1074
- 00:45:10,007 --> 00:45:11,675
- - I'm not gonna get into that.
- 1075
- 00:45:11,675 --> 00:45:12,509
- - Into diet?
- 1076
- 00:45:12,509 --> 00:45:13,844
- - No.
- - Well, why not?
- 1077
- 00:45:13,844 --> 00:45:16,447
- - If that's where you
- wanna go with this,
- 1078
- 00:45:16,447 --> 00:45:18,982
- I'm sorry, I'm not the person
- that you should be talking to.
- 1079
- 00:45:18,982 --> 00:45:20,350
- - And why is that though?
- 1080
- 00:45:20,350 --> 00:45:22,219
- - If that's what
- you wanna get into,
- 1081
- 00:45:22,219 --> 00:45:24,021
- I'm not the person you
- need to be talking to.
- 1082
- 00:45:24,021 --> 00:45:26,623
- - [Kip] Who do we
- talk to about diet?
- 1083
- 00:45:26,623 --> 00:45:28,525
- - You can talk to
- anybody you want.
- 1084
- 00:45:28,525 --> 00:45:30,861
- - But that's interesting,
- then why not recommend a diet?
- 1085
- 00:45:30,861 --> 00:45:32,896
- - Because the data don't
- exist to support it.
- 1086
- 00:45:32,896 --> 00:45:36,567
- - But if I've see, we see
- data that we looked up,
- 1087
- 00:45:36,567 --> 00:45:39,002
- that supports it
- with like the NIH,
- 1088
- 00:45:39,002 --> 00:45:41,171
- in Europe, the European--
- 1089
- 00:45:42,339 --> 00:45:43,440
- - We're done.
- 1090
- 00:45:44,975 --> 00:45:46,210
- We're done, I'm sorry.
- 1091
- 00:45:46,210 --> 00:45:47,377
- I'm not gonna get
- into that argument.
- 1092
- 00:45:47,377 --> 00:45:48,645
- - But why is there an argument?
- 1093
- 00:45:48,645 --> 00:45:49,580
- - I'm not gonna get
- into that argument.
- 1094
- 00:45:49,580 --> 00:45:51,081
- - But why is there an argument?
- 1095
- 00:45:51,081 --> 00:45:54,451
- It's just the talking about
- in European Study of Diabetes
- 1096
- 00:45:54,451 --> 00:45:58,222
- and other places that
- have studies why--
- 1097
- 00:45:58,222 --> 00:45:59,623
- - There are lots of studies.
- 1098
- 00:45:59,623 --> 00:46:01,058
- - [Kip] Why is this
- even an argument?
- 1099
- 00:46:01,058 --> 00:46:04,194
- - There are lots of
- studies in the literature,
- 1100
- 00:46:04,194 --> 00:46:07,064
- many of which have
- never been replicated
- 1101
- 00:46:07,064 --> 00:46:09,133
- or frankly, you're wrong.
- 1102
- 00:46:10,634 --> 00:46:13,704
- That's why we do
- peer review, okay?
- 1103
- 00:46:13,704 --> 00:46:16,740
- - The European Association
- of Study of Diabetes
- 1104
- 00:46:16,740 --> 00:46:18,809
- has been peer reviewed or--
- 1105
- 00:46:18,809 --> 00:46:21,111
- - I don't know what
- study you're referring to
- 1106
- 00:46:21,111 --> 00:46:23,614
- and yeah, in the absence of
- being able to see that study,
- 1107
- 00:46:23,614 --> 00:46:24,882
- I'm not gonna comment.
- 1108
- 00:46:24,882 --> 00:46:26,083
- - I could show it to you.
- 1109
- 00:46:26,083 --> 00:46:27,718
- - I'm sorry, I don't
- have the time for that.
- 1110
- 00:46:27,718 --> 00:46:28,652
- - I just don't understand why
- 1111
- 00:46:28,652 --> 00:46:31,221
- it's an argument though or okay.
- 1112
- 00:46:39,596 --> 00:46:41,198
- That was interesting.
- 1113
- 00:46:41,198 --> 00:46:42,432
- What he wanna talk about
- 1114
- 00:46:42,432 --> 00:46:44,468
- was people living
- longer with diabetes
- 1115
- 00:46:44,468 --> 00:46:47,804
- but once he mentioned
- eliminating diabetes
- or prevention,
- 1116
- 00:46:47,804 --> 00:46:50,274
- oh, whoa, now you
- cross the line.
- 1117
- 00:46:50,274 --> 00:46:55,145
- Prevention and cure, whoa,
- whoa, let's not go there.
- 1118
- 00:46:55,145 --> 00:46:57,948
- Not only did Dr. Ratner,
- the chief medical officer
- 1119
- 00:46:57,948 --> 00:47:00,150
- of the American
- Diabetes Association
- 1120
- 00:47:00,150 --> 00:47:02,019
- not wanna talk about
- diet but the fact
- 1121
- 00:47:02,019 --> 00:47:04,588
- that he had such an emotional
- reaction to my question
- 1122
- 00:47:04,588 --> 00:47:06,590
- made it feel, I was
- digging into something
- 1123
- 00:47:06,590 --> 00:47:08,559
- that he didn't want uncovered.
- 1124
- 00:47:08,559 --> 00:47:10,794
- I had always thought
- there was no prevention
- 1125
- 00:47:10,794 --> 00:47:13,430
- for type I diabetes but then,
- 1126
- 00:47:13,430 --> 00:47:15,499
- I did research and came
- across countless studies
- 1127
- 00:47:15,499 --> 00:47:17,134
- referencing the link
- between exposure
- 1128
- 00:47:17,134 --> 00:47:20,537
- to dairy at a young
- age in type I diabetes.
- 1129
- 00:47:20,537 --> 00:47:22,739
- - This is a food
- made for baby cows.
- 1130
- 00:47:22,739 --> 00:47:25,409
- Cow milk protein get in the
- bloodstream and the body says,
- 1131
- 00:47:25,409 --> 00:47:27,077
- "Hey, this is not supposed
- to be in bloodstream."
- 1132
- 00:47:27,077 --> 00:47:28,812
- It makes antibodies,
- the cow milk protein,
- 1133
- 00:47:28,812 --> 00:47:32,616
- which then attack the pancreas
- and destroy the pancreas.
- 1134
- 00:47:32,616 --> 00:47:34,084
- - [Kip] How is this
- possible that ADA
- 1135
- 00:47:34,084 --> 00:47:36,386
- wouldn't have this
- forefront on their website?
- 1136
- 00:47:36,386 --> 00:47:38,422
- Why wouldn't they be warning
- all parents about this
- 1137
- 00:47:38,422 --> 00:47:40,557
- even if there are
- only a slight chance?
- 1138
- 00:47:40,557 --> 00:47:42,226
- Why were they
- recommending people
- 1139
- 00:47:42,226 --> 00:47:45,095
- to actually eat these
- foods linked to diabetes?
- 1140
- 00:47:45,095 --> 00:47:47,197
- It seemed all of the
- large health organizations
- 1141
- 00:47:47,197 --> 00:47:49,366
- were encouraging people
- to eat the very foods
- 1142
- 00:47:49,366 --> 00:47:50,801
- linked to the diseases,
- 1143
- 00:47:50,801 --> 00:47:52,936
- they're supposed to
- be fighting against.
- 1144
- 00:47:52,936 --> 00:47:55,005
- American Heart Association
- promoting beef,
- 1145
- 00:47:55,005 --> 00:47:57,341
- American Cancer Society
- promoting processed meat,
- 1146
- 00:47:57,341 --> 00:47:59,209
- pink ribbons on dairy products,
- 1147
- 00:47:59,209 --> 00:48:03,447
- and bacon wrapped shrimp on
- American Diabetes Association.
- 1148
- 00:48:03,447 --> 00:48:06,750
- And then, it all came together.
- 1149
- 00:48:06,750 --> 00:48:07,584
- What if?
- 1150
- 00:48:12,256 --> 00:48:13,390
- And there it was.
- 1151
- 00:48:13,390 --> 00:48:14,758
- The American
- Diabetes Association
- 1152
- 00:48:14,758 --> 00:48:16,426
- was taking money from Dannon,
- 1153
- 00:48:16,426 --> 00:48:18,428
- one of the world's largest
- dairy yogurt producers,
- 1154
- 00:48:18,428 --> 00:48:20,697
- Kraft Foods, makers of
- Velveeta processed cheese,
- 1155
- 00:48:20,697 --> 00:48:22,099
- Oscar Mayer processed meats,
- 1156
- 00:48:22,099 --> 00:48:23,834
- Lunchables processed
- kids' meals,
- 1157
- 00:48:23,834 --> 00:48:28,005
- and Bumble Bee Foods, makers
- of processed canned meats.
- 1158
- 00:48:30,974 --> 00:48:33,543
- American Cancer Society was
- taking money from Tyson,
- 1159
- 00:48:33,543 --> 00:48:35,512
- one of the world's
- largest meat producers
- 1160
- 00:48:35,512 --> 00:48:39,716
- and Yum brand, owner of Pizza
- Hut, KFC, and Taco Bell.
- 1161
- 00:48:39,716 --> 00:48:42,386
- Susan G. Komen was supposed
- to be fighting breast cancer
- 1162
- 00:48:42,386 --> 00:48:44,454
- was corporate
- partnering with KFC,
- 1163
- 00:48:44,454 --> 00:48:48,458
- Dietz & Watson processed
- meats, and Yoplait yogurt.
- 1164
- 00:48:48,458 --> 00:48:49,826
- And the American
- Heart Association
- 1165
- 00:48:49,826 --> 00:48:52,296
- was probably the most
- disturbing of all.
- 1166
- 00:48:52,296 --> 00:48:53,897
- Taking hundreds of
- thousands of dollars
- 1167
- 00:48:53,897 --> 00:48:57,200
- from the beef industry,
- poultry, and dairy producers,
- 1168
- 00:48:57,200 --> 00:48:58,969
- and millions from fast food
- 1169
- 00:48:58,969 --> 00:49:01,672
- and processed food
- manufacturers.
- 1170
- 00:49:03,273 --> 00:49:05,342
- Every single one of
- these organizations
- 1171
- 00:49:05,342 --> 00:49:07,844
- was taking money from
- meat and dairy companies
- 1172
- 00:49:07,844 --> 00:49:11,214
- that are associated with the
- causes of these diseases.
- 1173
- 00:49:11,214 --> 00:49:12,749
- This would be like the
- American Lung Association
- 1174
- 00:49:12,749 --> 00:49:16,219
- taking money from
- the tobacco industry.
- 1175
- 00:49:16,219 --> 00:49:18,922
- I was sick of not
- getting answers
- 1176
- 00:49:18,922 --> 00:49:19,856
- so I went to the headquarters
- 1177
- 00:49:19,856 --> 00:49:21,758
- of these organizations myself.
- 1178
- 00:49:21,758 --> 00:49:23,794
- We have to speak
- someone in person.
- 1179
- 00:49:23,794 --> 00:49:26,563
- There's millions of people
- dying from the foods
- 1180
- 00:49:26,563 --> 00:49:29,433
- that they are recommending
- people to eat.
- 1181
- 00:49:29,433 --> 00:49:31,101
- I wanted to find out
- why Susan G. Komen
- 1182
- 00:49:31,101 --> 00:49:34,137
- accepted 35 millions
- dollars from Yoplait
- 1183
- 00:49:34,137 --> 00:49:36,006
- when their products can
- increase a woman's chance
- 1184
- 00:49:36,006 --> 00:49:38,975
- of dying from breast cancer 49%.
- 1185
- 00:49:38,975 --> 00:49:40,410
- And asked American
- Cancer Society
- 1186
- 00:49:40,410 --> 00:49:42,012
- of taking money
- from KFC and Tyson
- 1187
- 00:49:42,012 --> 00:49:45,248
- what's the reason they
- promote eating meat.
- 1188
- 00:49:45,248 --> 00:49:46,750
- But everyone of
- these organizations
- 1189
- 00:49:46,750 --> 00:49:49,820
- declined to be interviewed.
- 1190
- 00:49:49,820 --> 00:49:52,723
- - What's really sad is that
- we cannot trust information
- 1191
- 00:49:52,723 --> 00:49:55,625
- from these leading
- health organizations
- 1192
- 00:49:55,625 --> 00:49:57,127
- like the American
- Heart Association,
- 1193
- 00:49:57,127 --> 00:49:58,862
- the American
- Diabetes Association,
- 1194
- 00:49:58,862 --> 00:50:02,366
- because they are taking money
- from the very industries
- 1195
- 00:50:02,366 --> 00:50:04,034
- who are causing the problems
- 1196
- 00:50:04,034 --> 00:50:07,070
- that they're supposed to
- be helping to prevent.
- 1197
- 00:50:07,070 --> 00:50:09,973
- - So, that makes
- the truth something
- 1198
- 00:50:09,973 --> 00:50:13,143
- that you are not gonna be
- hearing as far as nutrition goes
- 1199
- 00:50:13,143 --> 00:50:15,145
- from these organizations.
- 1200
- 00:50:15,145 --> 00:50:16,680
- Well, that would be the
- end of their funding,
- 1201
- 00:50:16,680 --> 00:50:18,348
- that would be the
- end of their jobs,
- 1202
- 00:50:18,348 --> 00:50:20,283
- there would be lawsuits,
- they would bring
- 1203
- 00:50:20,283 --> 00:50:22,619
- the entire catastrophe
- down upon their heads,
- 1204
- 00:50:22,619 --> 00:50:24,688
- and they would essentially
- disappear as organizations.
- 1205
- 00:50:24,688 --> 00:50:27,924
- - So, one time I got invited
- to a charity fundraiser
- 1206
- 00:50:27,924 --> 00:50:30,193
- for the American
- Diabetes Association.
- 1207
- 00:50:30,193 --> 00:50:32,129
- I showed up and they
- had a whole buffet
- 1208
- 00:50:32,129 --> 00:50:35,098
- and there was all
- just animal products.
- 1209
- 00:50:35,098 --> 00:50:39,069
- I remember like a big
- thing of barbecue chicken,
- 1210
- 00:50:39,069 --> 00:50:40,737
- and I was, like I stormed out.
- 1211
- 00:50:40,737 --> 00:50:44,408
- I said, "Serving chicken
- at a diabetes event
- 1212
- 00:50:45,909 --> 00:50:48,412
- "is like serving alcohol
- in an AA meeting.
- 1213
- 00:50:48,412 --> 00:50:50,814
- "It just doesn't make sense."
- 1214
- 00:50:51,982 --> 00:50:53,316
- - [Kip] We had scheduled
- a filming interview
- 1215
- 00:50:53,316 --> 00:50:55,185
- with a prominent surgeon
- 1216
- 00:50:55,185 --> 00:50:57,020
- but before we could get
- inside the building,
- 1217
- 00:50:57,020 --> 00:51:00,457
- the hospital's media
- relations manager stopped us.
- 1218
- 00:51:00,457 --> 00:51:01,925
- - [Lady In White Blouse]
- Actually, I understand
- 1219
- 00:51:01,925 --> 00:51:03,560
- that Dr. that you
- could film here today
- 1220
- 00:51:03,560 --> 00:51:06,963
- but unfortunately, that's
- not gonna be able to happen.
- 1221
- 00:51:06,963 --> 00:51:09,733
- I know that he advocates for
- patients changing their diets
- 1222
- 00:51:09,733 --> 00:51:12,402
- but the hospital makes
- money off these surgeries
- 1223
- 00:51:12,402 --> 00:51:14,438
- and the reality is he does too.
- 1224
- 00:51:14,438 --> 00:51:16,907
- So, we can't do anything
- that's gonna negatively
- 1225
- 00:51:16,907 --> 00:51:18,742
- impact the hospital
- so unfortunately,
- 1226
- 00:51:18,742 --> 00:51:22,746
- you're not gonna be
- able to film here today.
- 1227
- 00:51:22,746 --> 00:51:24,548
- - [Kip] I was sickened
- by how open she was
- 1228
- 00:51:24,548 --> 00:51:26,450
- about the hospital
- being more interested
- 1229
- 00:51:26,450 --> 00:51:29,419
- in profits than people's health.
- 1230
- 00:51:29,419 --> 00:51:32,456
- But it wasn't just this
- hospital or these organizations,
- 1231
- 00:51:32,456 --> 00:51:35,225
- even the US government
- is involved too.
- 1232
- 00:51:35,225 --> 00:51:37,327
- Every five years, the US
- Department or Agriculture
- 1233
- 00:51:37,327 --> 00:51:39,529
- creates dietary
- guidelines for Americans.
- 1234
- 00:51:39,529 --> 00:51:41,298
- The committee who
- writes these guidelines
- 1235
- 00:51:41,298 --> 00:51:42,699
- has been made up of individuals
- 1236
- 00:51:42,699 --> 00:51:44,334
- who have received
- money from McDonald's,
- 1237
- 00:51:44,334 --> 00:51:46,703
- the National Dairy Council,
- the American Meat Institute,
- 1238
- 00:51:46,703 --> 00:51:47,971
- the National Dairy Board,
- 1239
- 00:51:47,971 --> 00:51:49,439
- the National Livestock
- and Meat Board,
- 1240
- 00:51:49,439 --> 00:51:52,142
- the American Egg Board, Dannon,
- candy and sugar companies,
- 1241
- 00:51:52,142 --> 00:51:55,145
- Coca-Cola, and Anheuser,
- just to name a few,
- 1242
- 00:51:55,145 --> 00:51:57,214
- which means we're getting
- our dietary recommendations
- 1243
- 00:51:57,214 --> 00:51:59,783
- from the very industries
- that are killing us.
- 1244
- 00:51:59,783 --> 00:52:02,986
- - And when they, the
- USDA, makes a pyramid
- 1245
- 00:52:02,986 --> 00:52:06,223
- or a power plate every five
- years for the American public,
- 1246
- 00:52:06,223 --> 00:52:08,058
- they're gonna guarantee
- that on that plate
- 1247
- 00:52:08,058 --> 00:52:11,228
- are gonna be foods
- which when consumed,
- 1248
- 00:52:11,228 --> 00:52:15,332
- will result in means of
- American's perishing.
- 1249
- 00:52:15,332 --> 00:52:17,367
- - The USDA which is
- supposed to be protecting us
- 1250
- 00:52:17,367 --> 00:52:19,503
- has two missions, it's
- supposed to protect us
- 1251
- 00:52:19,503 --> 00:52:22,906
- and it's supposed to protect
- the producer, and guess what?
- 1252
- 00:52:22,906 --> 00:52:25,075
- When those two
- come head to head,
- 1253
- 00:52:25,075 --> 00:52:26,610
- they usually choose
- the producer.
- 1254
- 00:52:26,610 --> 00:52:29,045
- - [Kip] In internal documents
- uncovered by Dr. Gregor,
- 1255
- 00:52:29,045 --> 00:52:31,781
- the USDA admitted that eggs
- cannot legally be called
- 1256
- 00:52:31,781 --> 00:52:34,017
- nutritious, low-fat, part
- of the balanced diet,
- 1257
- 00:52:34,017 --> 00:52:35,785
- low calorie, healthful, healthy,
- 1258
- 00:52:35,785 --> 00:52:38,355
- can't say it's good
- for you, or even safe,
- 1259
- 00:52:38,355 --> 00:52:39,823
- yet they still
- promote these products
- 1260
- 00:52:39,823 --> 00:52:43,126
- to the American people through
- federal checkoff programs.
- 1261
- 00:52:43,126 --> 00:52:44,594
- - If you ask somebody
- if they've heard
- 1262
- 00:52:44,594 --> 00:52:46,496
- the checkoff program, they'll
- answer that they haven't,
- 1263
- 00:52:46,496 --> 00:52:49,132
- although daily, they
- are seeing the messaging
- 1264
- 00:52:49,132 --> 00:52:50,934
- that these programs produce.
- 1265
- 00:52:50,934 --> 00:52:52,702
- So, checkoff programs
- are responsible
- 1266
- 00:52:52,702 --> 00:52:55,505
- for the messages
- that we see on TV,
- 1267
- 00:52:55,505 --> 00:52:57,574
- on the internet, on bus
- billboards, and magazines
- 1268
- 00:52:57,574 --> 00:53:00,076
- that say things like, "Milk,
- it does the body good"
- 1269
- 00:53:00,076 --> 00:53:03,313
- or "Milk life," "Beef,
- it's what's for dinner,"
- 1270
- 00:53:03,313 --> 00:53:06,716
- "Pork, be inspired,"
- "Incredible, edible egg."
- 1271
- 00:53:06,716 --> 00:53:10,554
- - The dairy checkoff program,
- be it 12 million dollars
- 1272
- 00:53:10,554 --> 00:53:14,257
- to dominoes, to just market
- cheese-heavy product.
- 1273
- 00:53:14,257 --> 00:53:16,359
- And this is the USDA,
- this is the government.
- 1274
- 00:53:16,359 --> 00:53:18,428
- If you've seen those ads
- for the Pizza Hut pizza,
- 1275
- 00:53:18,428 --> 00:53:21,898
- the stuffed crust or
- a pound of cheese,
- 1276
- 00:53:21,898 --> 00:53:24,167
- those are all government
- advertising schemes
- 1277
- 00:53:24,167 --> 00:53:25,468
- for the industry.
- 1278
- 00:53:25,468 --> 00:53:26,970
- How can we put more
- cheese on beef,
- 1279
- 00:53:26,970 --> 00:53:31,041
- how can we put more milk in
- a coffee, things like that
- 1280
- 00:53:31,041 --> 00:53:33,543
- to just drive
- consumption of these
- 1281
- 00:53:33,543 --> 00:53:36,446
- just unbelievably
- unhealthful products.
- 1282
- 00:53:36,446 --> 00:53:37,614
- So, McDonald's, for instance,
- 1283
- 00:53:37,614 --> 00:53:40,684
- has six people staffed full-time
- 1284
- 00:53:40,684 --> 00:53:42,218
- according to records we've found
- 1285
- 00:53:42,218 --> 00:53:45,755
- who's salaries are paid for
- by this government program
- 1286
- 00:53:45,755 --> 00:53:48,992
- but funded by the producers
- who are regulated by it.
- 1287
- 00:53:48,992 --> 00:53:51,695
- And these six people sit there
- at McDonald's headquarters
- 1288
- 00:53:51,695 --> 00:53:54,030
- and just come up with ideas.
- 1289
- 00:53:55,231 --> 00:53:58,234
- - Triple cheese decker McCheese
- 1290
- 00:53:58,234 --> 00:54:01,071
- muffin stuffed
- bacon cheese slider?
- 1291
- 00:54:04,774 --> 00:54:05,909
- - With extra cheese?
- 1292
- 00:54:05,909 --> 00:54:07,277
- - [All] Yes.
- 1293
- 00:54:07,277 --> 00:54:09,579
- - You don't think of it
- on a day-to-day basis
- 1294
- 00:54:09,579 --> 00:54:12,048
- that these are
- government programs.
- 1295
- 00:54:12,048 --> 00:54:16,219
- Wendy's bacon
- double cheeseburger,
- government program.
- 1296
- 00:54:17,687 --> 00:54:21,191
- The steak fajita at Dunkin'
- Donuts, government program.
- 1297
- 00:54:21,191 --> 00:54:23,827
- You would just never think
- that this just pure garbage
- 1298
- 00:54:23,827 --> 00:54:26,529
- from a food standpoint is coming
- 1299
- 00:54:26,529 --> 00:54:28,665
- from a federally funded program.
- 1300
- 00:54:28,665 --> 00:54:30,233
- That's one of the things
- that makes checkoffs
- 1301
- 00:54:30,233 --> 00:54:33,837
- so incredibly creepy is
- that it is our government
- 1302
- 00:54:33,837 --> 00:54:36,539
- telling us, "Eat more
- beef, drink more milk,
- 1303
- 00:54:36,539 --> 00:54:38,908
- "eat more cheese,
- eat more pork."
- 1304
- 00:54:38,908 --> 00:54:40,944
- One of the very effective
- ways that the dairy industry
- 1305
- 00:54:40,944 --> 00:54:44,447
- promotes its products
- is to reach children
- 1306
- 00:54:45,315 --> 00:54:47,617
- because kids are impressionable,
- 1307
- 00:54:47,617 --> 00:54:50,020
- they're gonna be consumers
- for their entire lives,
- 1308
- 00:54:50,020 --> 00:54:51,955
- and you might as well get
- 'em while they're young.
- 1309
- 00:54:51,955 --> 00:54:54,424
- So, dairy spends at
- least 50 million dollars
- 1310
- 00:54:54,424 --> 00:54:57,060
- promoting it's products
- in public schools
- 1311
- 00:54:57,060 --> 00:54:59,462
- throughout the
- country with posters
- 1312
- 00:54:59,462 --> 00:55:01,598
- with people with milk mustaches
- 1313
- 00:55:01,598 --> 00:55:05,001
- and messages like, "Milk,
- it does the body good,"
- 1314
- 00:55:05,001 --> 00:55:06,503
- or "Milk life".
- 1315
- 00:55:06,503 --> 00:55:08,872
- - Targeting young people
- like the tobacco industry
- 1316
- 00:55:08,872 --> 00:55:11,107
- had to keep replacing the
- customers who are dying
- 1317
- 00:55:11,107 --> 00:55:13,109
- with new customers.
- 1318
- 00:55:13,109 --> 00:55:15,612
- Meat industry knows they
- have to target young people,
- 1319
- 00:55:15,612 --> 00:55:17,981
- that's why we have
- these foods in schools
- 1320
- 00:55:17,981 --> 00:55:20,150
- and marketing messages at
- a younger and younger age
- 1321
- 00:55:20,150 --> 00:55:22,852
- for kids to get hooked on
- all the wrong kinds of foods.
- 1322
- 00:55:22,852 --> 00:55:25,221
- So, there's all
- kinds of parallels.
- 1323
- 00:55:25,221 --> 00:55:27,457
- - School districts
- where processed meats
- 1324
- 00:55:27,457 --> 00:55:28,692
- are all over the place.
- 1325
- 00:55:28,692 --> 00:55:29,959
- Maybe it's gonna be
- bacon on the menu,
- 1326
- 00:55:29,959 --> 00:55:32,929
- sausage, hotdogs,
- or pepperoni pizza.
- 1327
- 00:55:32,929 --> 00:55:34,397
- Any of those things
- are processed meats
- 1328
- 00:55:34,397 --> 00:55:36,700
- and those are pretty much
- the worst of the worst
- 1329
- 00:55:36,700 --> 00:55:38,835
- with a direct link
- to colon cancer
- 1330
- 00:55:38,835 --> 00:55:41,071
- and yet you have
- everyday in schools,
- 1331
- 00:55:41,071 --> 00:55:43,239
- meal items with processed meats.
- 1332
- 00:55:43,239 --> 00:55:44,774
- - [Kip] If the surgeon
- general puts label warnings
- 1333
- 00:55:44,774 --> 00:55:47,343
- on tobacco because
- of their cancer risk,
- 1334
- 00:55:47,343 --> 00:55:50,613
- why aren't same
- warning labels on meat?
- 1335
- 00:55:51,681 --> 00:55:53,450
- - Based on the publicly
- available data,
- 1336
- 00:55:53,450 --> 00:55:56,486
- we know they spend at
- least 557 million dollars
- 1337
- 00:55:56,486 --> 00:55:59,089
- promoting their goods
- through checkoff programs.
- 1338
- 00:55:59,089 --> 00:56:01,758
- We know that they spend at
- least 138 million dollars
- 1339
- 00:56:01,758 --> 00:56:03,393
- lobbying congress.
- 1340
- 00:56:03,393 --> 00:56:05,695
- We expect that they spend
- a good deal more than that
- 1341
- 00:56:05,695 --> 00:56:08,531
- in figures that simply
- aren't publicly disclosed.
- 1342
- 00:56:08,531 --> 00:56:10,366
- - [Kip] The industry's
- lobbying power is so strong
- 1343
- 00:56:10,366 --> 00:56:12,602
- that they can create laws
- and push through legislation
- 1344
- 00:56:12,602 --> 00:56:15,071
- that doesn't benefit
- Americans in any way
- 1345
- 00:56:15,071 --> 00:56:17,707
- such as Ag-gag laws that
- criminalize whistle-blowing
- 1346
- 00:56:17,707 --> 00:56:20,243
- or photographing abuses
- by this industry.
- 1347
- 00:56:20,243 --> 00:56:22,145
- Activists in the US can
- be charged as terrorist
- 1348
- 00:56:22,145 --> 00:56:24,380
- for disrupting the
- profits of any business
- 1349
- 00:56:24,380 --> 00:56:27,584
- that uses animals under the
- Animal Enterprise Terrorism Act
- 1350
- 00:56:27,584 --> 00:56:32,222
- to the even more ridiculous
- ones like Cheeseburger Laws.
- 1351
- 00:56:32,222 --> 00:56:33,823
- - A Cheeseburger Law
- is a law that states
- 1352
- 00:56:33,823 --> 00:56:35,892
- a plaintiff cannot
- recover against
- 1353
- 00:56:35,892 --> 00:56:37,961
- a manufacturer,
- distributor, retailer
- 1354
- 00:56:37,961 --> 00:56:41,965
- on the theory that the food
- made the plaintiff obese
- 1355
- 00:56:41,965 --> 00:56:44,934
- or caused an
- obesity-related disease.
- 1356
- 00:56:44,934 --> 00:56:47,303
- - Cheeseburger Law
- is a direct response
- 1357
- 00:56:47,303 --> 00:56:51,007
- to a problem that the
- tobacco industry has had.
- 1358
- 00:56:51,007 --> 00:56:53,510
- Big tobacco has paid
- 400 billion dollars
- 1359
- 00:56:53,510 --> 00:56:55,378
- to state medicated programs.
- 1360
- 00:56:55,378 --> 00:56:57,347
- Cheeseburger Law,
- it's proponent say,
- 1361
- 00:56:57,347 --> 00:56:59,783
- "We don't wanna see the
- same kind of thing happen
- 1362
- 00:56:59,783 --> 00:57:01,651
- "to the meat and
- dairy industries."
- 1363
- 00:57:01,651 --> 00:57:04,087
- The fact that these laws are
- based on a model template
- 1364
- 00:57:04,087 --> 00:57:07,624
- called the Commonsense
- Consumption Act
- is actually ironic
- 1365
- 00:57:07,624 --> 00:57:09,092
- because what they're saying is,
- 1366
- 00:57:09,092 --> 00:57:11,294
- you the consumer should
- have a commonsense
- 1367
- 00:57:11,294 --> 00:57:13,963
- to know that our
- food is bad for you.
- 1368
- 00:57:13,963 --> 00:57:17,167
- - I've often typify the
- meat industry to people
- 1369
- 00:57:17,167 --> 00:57:20,537
- who maybe don't understand
- its power and reach
- 1370
- 00:57:20,537 --> 00:57:24,507
- as it's got all the money of
- big tobacco and big pharma
- 1371
- 00:57:24,507 --> 00:57:28,511
- and has the personality of the
- National Rifle Association.
- 1372
- 00:57:28,511 --> 00:57:31,214
- So, any little
- thing that comes up,
- 1373
- 00:57:31,214 --> 00:57:34,217
- man, they beat it to death.
- 1374
- 00:57:34,217 --> 00:57:35,852
- - [Kip] Robert Martin
- wasn't exaggerating.
- 1375
- 00:57:35,852 --> 00:57:38,054
- When the profits of the ag
- industry were threatened
- 1376
- 00:57:38,054 --> 00:57:40,623
- by ag alternative company,
- Hampton Creek Foods,
- 1377
- 00:57:40,623 --> 00:57:43,092
- extremely disturbing
- emails were uncovered
- 1378
- 00:57:43,092 --> 00:57:45,228
- by Ryan Shapiro
- and Jeffrey Light.
- 1379
- 00:57:45,228 --> 00:57:47,931
- - We uncovered documents
- demonstrating the
- American Ag Port
- 1380
- 00:57:47,931 --> 00:57:51,901
- considers Hampton Creek, quote,
- a crisis and a major threat
- 1381
- 00:57:51,901 --> 00:57:54,270
- to the future of the
- American ag industry.
- 1382
- 00:57:54,270 --> 00:57:55,738
- The American Ag Board considers
- 1383
- 00:57:55,738 --> 00:57:58,675
- a successful ag replacer
- company to be such a threat
- 1384
- 00:57:58,675 --> 00:58:01,644
- that they joke under
- government email addresses
- 1385
- 00:58:01,644 --> 00:58:04,047
- about murdering the CEO.
- 1386
- 00:58:04,047 --> 00:58:05,515
- - [Kip] In internal
- government emails
- 1387
- 00:58:05,515 --> 00:58:07,283
- with the heads of
- the ag industry,
- 1388
- 00:58:07,283 --> 00:58:09,819
- they suggest having the
- CEO of Hampton Creek,
- 1389
- 00:58:09,819 --> 00:58:12,455
- Josh Tetric, murdered,
- 1390
- 00:58:12,455 --> 00:58:14,791
- including a menacing email
- from executive director
- 1391
- 00:58:14,791 --> 00:58:16,893
- of the American Ag Board.
- 1392
- 00:58:21,731 --> 00:58:25,501
- - The meat producers don't have
- to pay for the heart disease
- 1393
- 00:58:25,501 --> 00:58:27,704
- and the environmental
- destruction
- 1394
- 00:58:27,704 --> 00:58:32,175
- or any of the other
- externalities as
- economists call them
- 1395
- 00:58:32,175 --> 00:58:34,978
- that their products cause.
- 1396
- 00:58:34,978 --> 00:58:36,212
- - You know, then
- there's the whole
- 1397
- 00:58:36,212 --> 00:58:37,747
- pharmaceutical aspect of it
- 1398
- 00:58:37,747 --> 00:58:39,048
- and the fact that
- there's a very strong
- 1399
- 00:58:39,048 --> 00:58:40,850
- pharmaceutical industry in lobby
- 1400
- 00:58:40,850 --> 00:58:44,120
- that has a huge stake at
- preserving the status quo.
- 1401
- 00:58:44,120 --> 00:58:46,923
- - These chronic diseases,
- these are the cash cows
- 1402
- 00:58:46,923 --> 00:58:48,491
- of the pharmaceutical industry.
- 1403
- 00:58:48,491 --> 00:58:51,094
- - We have a five billion
- dollar stent industry.
- 1404
- 00:58:51,094 --> 00:58:52,762
- Do they ever wanna
- see that go away?
- 1405
- 00:58:52,762 --> 00:58:55,732
- We've had 35 billion dollar
- statin drug industry.
- 1406
- 00:58:55,732 --> 00:58:57,300
- Do they ever wanna
- see that go away?
- 1407
- 00:58:57,300 --> 00:58:58,701
- - I'm talking about the
- pharmaceutical industry
- 1408
- 00:58:58,701 --> 00:59:01,771
- effectively controls
- what doctors are told.
- 1409
- 00:59:01,771 --> 00:59:03,840
- - Most research isn't
- put into prevention,
- 1410
- 00:59:03,840 --> 00:59:05,875
- it's put into the medication
- 1411
- 00:59:05,875 --> 00:59:09,145
- that we might use for
- that particular disease.
- 1412
- 00:59:09,145 --> 00:59:12,849
- - I'm on two different high
- blood pressure medicines,
- 1413
- 00:59:12,849 --> 00:59:17,020
- six asthma-type medicines,
- even after four years of shots,
- 1414
- 00:59:18,922 --> 00:59:21,758
- and then another medicine to
- help take care of side effects
- 1415
- 00:59:21,758 --> 00:59:23,559
- from some of those medicines.
- 1416
- 00:59:23,559 --> 00:59:26,396
- I'm on high level
- antidepressants,
- 1417
- 00:59:27,864 --> 00:59:31,534
- a couple of different pain
- meds for my back and hips.
- 1418
- 00:59:31,534 --> 00:59:34,237
- - I'm taking about 16 drugs
- 1419
- 00:59:34,237 --> 00:59:36,506
- not counting the
- insulin in the morning.
- 1420
- 00:59:36,506 --> 00:59:39,509
- I take insulin morning,
- insulin at night,
- 1421
- 00:59:39,509 --> 00:59:42,111
- like 32 to 34 units of insulin.
- 1422
- 00:59:44,247 --> 00:59:46,082
- Lantus to be exact.
- 1423
- 00:59:46,082 --> 00:59:49,452
- Some of these meds
- are for diabetes.
- 1424
- 00:59:49,452 --> 00:59:53,489
- This is for pN, I have to
- use this for my prostate,
- 1425
- 00:59:53,489 --> 00:59:55,925
- and then I have to
- use this for the heart
- 1426
- 00:59:55,925 --> 00:59:58,494
- and I have to use this
- for blood pressure.
- 1427
- 00:59:58,494 --> 01:00:01,664
- And it's just on and
- on and on and on.
- 1428
- 01:00:03,099 --> 01:00:04,867
- The doctors are telling
- me this is what I gotta do
- 1429
- 01:00:04,867 --> 01:00:06,970
- for my whole life
- and it's frustrating,
- 1430
- 01:00:06,970 --> 01:00:09,238
- and it's very stressful.
- 1431
- 01:00:09,238 --> 01:00:11,474
- I don't know how long
- my liver is gonna last
- 1432
- 01:00:11,474 --> 01:00:13,142
- taking all these stuff.
- 1433
- 01:00:13,142 --> 01:00:14,477
- - Under conventional
- medical treatment,
- 1434
- 01:00:14,477 --> 01:00:16,012
- whether it be for
- autoimmune disease,
- 1435
- 01:00:16,012 --> 01:00:19,382
- or even conditions like high
- blood pressure or diabetes,
- 1436
- 01:00:19,382 --> 01:00:22,218
- you're told the you
- have to take drugs
- 1437
- 01:00:22,218 --> 01:00:25,054
- and not just for a week
- or a month or a year,
- 1438
- 01:00:25,054 --> 01:00:27,824
- you're told that you have
- to take drugs forever.
- 1439
- 01:00:27,824 --> 01:00:30,593
- You're guaranteed that if you
- follow your doctor's advice,
- 1440
- 01:00:30,593 --> 01:00:34,364
- you'll be sick forever,
- you'll never get well.
- 1441
- 01:00:34,364 --> 01:00:36,232
- That's the guarantee.
- 1442
- 01:00:36,232 --> 01:00:39,469
- Because the strategies
- are all about manipulating
- 1443
- 01:00:39,469 --> 01:00:42,205
- the symptoms, not dealing
- with the underlying cause.
- 1444
- 01:00:42,205 --> 01:00:43,506
- - You'll come in
- with that diagnosis.
- 1445
- 01:00:43,506 --> 01:00:45,441
- You get a bunch of pills
- that have nothing to do
- 1446
- 01:00:45,441 --> 01:00:48,211
- with the disease causation
- or you get this procedures
- 1447
- 01:00:48,211 --> 01:00:50,913
- that have nothing to do
- with disease causation.
- 1448
- 01:00:50,913 --> 01:00:52,181
- - It's a deception to say,
- 1449
- 01:00:52,181 --> 01:00:54,584
- "This pill will help you
- unclog your arteries.
- 1450
- 01:00:54,584 --> 01:00:56,252
- "This one will save
- you from stroke."
- 1451
- 01:00:56,252 --> 01:00:57,487
- No, it doesn't.
- 1452
- 01:00:57,487 --> 01:00:58,888
- The people who take
- the statins, et cetera,
- 1453
- 01:00:58,888 --> 01:01:00,390
- they still get
- their heart attacks,
- 1454
- 01:01:00,390 --> 01:01:01,624
- they still get their strokes,
- 1455
- 01:01:01,624 --> 01:01:03,059
- this is not reversed disease,
- 1456
- 01:01:03,059 --> 01:01:05,061
- this does not make
- plaque smaller.
- 1457
- 01:01:05,061 --> 01:01:07,764
- This is a fun of
- massive proportions.
- 1458
- 01:01:07,764 --> 01:01:09,432
- - [Kip] In the US,
- treating chronic these
- 1459
- 01:01:09,432 --> 01:01:11,701
- such as heart disease,
- cancer, and diabetes
- 1460
- 01:01:11,701 --> 01:01:15,304
- is a 1.5 trillion
- dollar industry.
- 1461
- 01:01:15,304 --> 01:01:16,906
- That's the GDP equivalent
- 1462
- 01:01:16,906 --> 01:01:20,043
- of the 10th richest
- country in the world.
- 1463
- 01:01:20,043 --> 01:01:21,210
- I went back and dug deeper
- 1464
- 01:01:21,210 --> 01:01:23,179
- into the health
- organizations funding
- 1465
- 01:01:23,179 --> 01:01:25,448
- and there it was again.
- 1466
- 01:01:25,448 --> 01:01:27,717
- These organizations were
- accepting millions of dollars
- 1467
- 01:01:27,717 --> 01:01:29,385
- from pharmaceutical companies
- 1468
- 01:01:29,385 --> 01:01:31,020
- that are making
- billions of dollars
- 1469
- 01:01:31,020 --> 01:01:33,089
- from the very same diseases
- these health groups
- 1470
- 01:01:33,089 --> 01:01:35,324
- are supposedly trying to end.
- 1471
- 01:01:35,324 --> 01:01:37,593
- It seemed like a major
- conflict of interest
- 1472
- 01:01:37,593 --> 01:01:40,863
- unless ending these diseases
- isn't really the goal.
- 1473
- 01:01:40,863 --> 01:01:42,665
- The pharmaceutical
- industry spends more money
- 1474
- 01:01:42,665 --> 01:01:45,301
- on lobbying than any
- other single industry.
- 1475
- 01:01:45,301 --> 01:01:47,470
- Just like animal agriculture,
- they are so powerful,
- 1476
- 01:01:47,470 --> 01:01:48,971
- they write their own laws
- 1477
- 01:01:48,971 --> 01:01:51,207
- that have had activists
- imprisoned to silence them.
- 1478
- 01:01:51,207 --> 01:01:54,077
- - Government's embed with
- anyone that goes in the money.
- 1479
- 01:01:54,077 --> 01:01:55,411
- Just pharmaceutical industry
- 1480
- 01:01:55,411 --> 01:01:57,747
- which is the animal
- ag industries.
- 1481
- 01:01:57,747 --> 01:02:00,583
- They are pumping the government
- full of money and resources
- 1482
- 01:02:00,583 --> 01:02:02,652
- and in return, the governments
- giving them what they want,
- 1483
- 01:02:02,652 --> 01:02:06,355
- subsidies, imprisoning
- activists that go against them,
- 1484
- 01:02:06,355 --> 01:02:08,357
- and I think it's quite
- telling that these industries
- 1485
- 01:02:08,357 --> 01:02:11,794
- are working so hard in
- spending so much money
- 1486
- 01:02:11,794 --> 01:02:14,797
- to criminalize people for
- simply taking a picture,
- 1487
- 01:02:14,797 --> 01:02:16,899
- for simply recording
- what's going on inside
- 1488
- 01:02:16,899 --> 01:02:20,036
- of these facilities and
- making it known to the public.
- 1489
- 01:02:20,036 --> 01:02:21,404
- They're behind walls.
- 1490
- 01:02:21,404 --> 01:02:22,972
- They're underground.
- 1491
- 01:02:22,972 --> 01:02:25,341
- They're in these
- secret facilities that
- no one knows about
- 1492
- 01:02:25,341 --> 01:02:27,210
- but if they did, they would
- be shocked and outraged
- 1493
- 01:02:27,210 --> 01:02:29,212
- and I think people
- would not want to think
- 1494
- 01:02:29,212 --> 01:02:31,914
- that their pharmaceuticals,
- that their food
- 1495
- 01:02:31,914 --> 01:02:33,549
- are coming from these places
- 1496
- 01:02:33,549 --> 01:02:35,151
- and that's why, I
- think, it's such...
- 1497
- 01:02:35,151 --> 01:02:36,819
- The Ag-gag laws
- are what they are
- 1498
- 01:02:36,819 --> 01:02:39,188
- is because they are
- trying to silence people
- 1499
- 01:02:39,188 --> 01:02:41,824
- into not speaking out and
- not showing the truth.
- 1500
- 01:02:41,824 --> 01:02:43,559
- - [Kip] I finally realized
- how deep the occlusion
- 1501
- 01:02:43,559 --> 01:02:46,429
- truly is between government
- and these industries
- 1502
- 01:02:46,429 --> 01:02:48,664
- and how dangerous it
- could be to expose them.
- 1503
- 01:02:48,664 --> 01:02:50,600
- These concerns
- intensified after meeting
- 1504
- 01:02:50,600 --> 01:02:53,469
- the USDA whistleblower who
- revealed mad cow disease
- 1505
- 01:02:53,469 --> 01:02:54,904
- in the US meat supplier.
- 1506
- 01:02:54,904 --> 01:02:56,172
- - [Mad Cow Disease
- Whistleblower] USDA operates
- 1507
- 01:02:56,172 --> 01:02:57,940
- like the military
- so when I got on TV,
- 1508
- 01:02:57,940 --> 01:03:00,009
- right away you see set of memos
- 1509
- 01:03:00,009 --> 01:03:02,111
- to all the veterinarians
- and food inspectors.
- 1510
- 01:03:02,111 --> 01:03:04,514
- "If anybody from the
- media ever contacts you,
- 1511
- 01:03:04,514 --> 01:03:08,151
- "do not talk to them,
- refer to Washington, DC
- 1512
- 01:03:08,151 --> 01:03:10,319
- "and we will talk to them."
- 1513
- 01:03:10,319 --> 01:03:12,054
- So, right away
- shut up everybody.
- 1514
- 01:03:12,054 --> 01:03:15,391
- The American public are very,
- very concerned about this,
- 1515
- 01:03:15,391 --> 01:03:16,993
- what's going on with the USDA.
- 1516
- 01:03:16,993 --> 01:03:18,327
- Here in the United States,
- 1517
- 01:03:18,327 --> 01:03:21,297
- we have at least four
- cases of mad cow disease
- 1518
- 01:03:21,297 --> 01:03:23,799
- but I'm almost positive
- there's more cases of that
- 1519
- 01:03:23,799 --> 01:03:25,668
- that the government
- is looking for.
- 1520
- 01:03:25,668 --> 01:03:26,969
- - [Kip] So, what you're
- saying is that there could be
- 1521
- 01:03:26,969 --> 01:03:29,405
- already mad cow
- disease in humans?
- 1522
- 01:03:29,405 --> 01:03:32,074
- - Right, and I think a lot
- of it was misdiagnosed.
- 1523
- 01:03:32,074 --> 01:03:33,776
- The Alzheimer's or dementia
- 1524
- 01:03:33,776 --> 01:03:36,312
- that takes several years
- to see the progression
- 1525
- 01:03:36,312 --> 01:03:37,847
- but to make it easier,
- 1526
- 01:03:37,847 --> 01:03:40,149
- these doctors just sign off on
- it as dementia or Alzheimer's
- 1527
- 01:03:40,149 --> 01:03:41,751
- while they should've
- taken a biopsy
- 1528
- 01:03:41,751 --> 01:03:43,352
- of the brain to see if it's that
- 1529
- 01:03:43,352 --> 01:03:45,755
- or is it actually
- a prion disease
- 1530
- 01:03:45,755 --> 01:03:48,958
- like Creutzfeldt-Jakob
- disease or mad cow disease.
- 1531
- 01:03:48,958 --> 01:03:51,294
- - [Kip] Do you think
- it's safe to eat meat?
- 1532
- 01:03:51,294 --> 01:03:53,596
- - I personally don't
- think it's safe to eat it
- 1533
- 01:03:53,596 --> 01:03:56,566
- because of the fact how the
- line speeds are increasing
- 1534
- 01:03:56,566 --> 01:03:59,635
- and also our inspectors are
- not well-trained enough.
- 1535
- 01:03:59,635 --> 01:04:01,571
- At the present time,
- the ones we know
- 1536
- 01:04:01,571 --> 01:04:04,106
- is going about 220 cows an hour.
- 1537
- 01:04:04,106 --> 01:04:07,009
- That gives you about, somewhere
- around four cows per minute
- 1538
- 01:04:07,009 --> 01:04:09,412
- so that's 15 seconds per cow.
- 1539
- 01:04:10,613 --> 01:04:11,914
- - [Kip] This dangerous
- slaughter speeds means
- 1540
- 01:04:11,914 --> 01:04:14,584
- that animal waste
- ends up everywhere.
- 1541
- 01:04:14,584 --> 01:04:16,686
- Testing shows 88% of pork chops
- 1542
- 01:04:16,686 --> 01:04:19,055
- are contaminated
- with fecal bacteria.
- 1543
- 01:04:19,055 --> 01:04:22,491
- 90% of ground beef and 95%
- of chicken breasts sample
- 1544
- 01:04:22,491 --> 01:04:24,827
- contain animal waste bacteria.
- 1545
- 01:04:24,827 --> 01:04:28,064
- There is nothing clean
- about eating this way
- 1546
- 01:04:28,064 --> 01:04:32,301
- but it just isn't waste, it's
- also pus-filled infections.
- 1547
- 01:04:32,301 --> 01:04:33,803
- - [Mad Cow Disease
- Whistleblower] You can see
- 1548
- 01:04:33,803 --> 01:04:36,505
- there's a bump or some kind
- of abcess underneath the hind.
- 1549
- 01:04:36,505 --> 01:04:38,608
- Most of the time, when
- the hind's pulled off,
- 1550
- 01:04:38,608 --> 01:04:41,244
- either that will
- open up the abcess
- 1551
- 01:04:41,244 --> 01:04:42,712
- and the pus will come out
- 1552
- 01:04:42,712 --> 01:04:44,981
- or if it's deep-seated
- when the inspectors
- 1553
- 01:04:44,981 --> 01:04:47,350
- are doing their work
- or company employees,
- 1554
- 01:04:47,350 --> 01:04:49,819
- they might stick their
- knife into an abcess
- 1555
- 01:04:49,819 --> 01:04:53,222
- and that explodes
- all over the place.
- 1556
- 01:04:53,222 --> 01:04:54,390
- - [Kip] I had heard enough.
- 1557
- 01:04:54,390 --> 01:04:56,325
- I was utterly disgusted
- by the corruption,
- 1558
- 01:04:56,325 --> 01:04:59,895
- the greed, the disease, and
- the abuse I was learning about.
- 1559
- 01:04:59,895 --> 01:05:01,797
- The very animals we are killing
- 1560
- 01:05:01,797 --> 01:05:03,733
- were killing us in the planet
- 1561
- 01:05:03,733 --> 01:05:05,968
- but so many people
- are even eating dairy
- 1562
- 01:05:05,968 --> 01:05:07,503
- every day of their lives.
- 1563
- 01:05:07,503 --> 01:05:10,239
- And we are so concerned
- about getting enough protein.
- 1564
- 01:05:10,239 --> 01:05:12,875
- Do we have to eat meat
- to get complete protein?
- 1565
- 01:05:12,875 --> 01:05:15,478
- - Oh my god, oh my god.
- 1566
- 01:05:15,478 --> 01:05:17,980
- You want me to jump of
- this building, don't you?
- 1567
- 01:05:17,980 --> 01:05:22,585
- Well, first of all, all
- protein is made by plants.
- 1568
- 01:05:22,585 --> 01:05:24,487
- I'll state that
- again for the record.
- 1569
- 01:05:24,487 --> 01:05:27,790
- All protein is initially
- made by plants, all of it,
- 1570
- 01:05:27,790 --> 01:05:31,494
- and it is not necessary
- to eat animal tissue
- 1571
- 01:05:31,494 --> 01:05:33,329
- in order to get protein.
- 1572
- 01:05:33,329 --> 01:05:37,266
- Only plants have the ability
- to actually take nitrogen
- 1573
- 01:05:37,266 --> 01:05:39,902
- from the air, break
- those molecules apart,
- 1574
- 01:05:39,902 --> 01:05:41,237
- and incorporate that nitrogen
- 1575
- 01:05:41,237 --> 01:05:44,407
- into amino acids and
- then make protein.
- 1576
- 01:05:44,407 --> 01:05:45,941
- Any protein you
- get from an animal
- 1577
- 01:05:45,941 --> 01:05:48,244
- is simply recycled
- plant protein.
- 1578
- 01:05:48,244 --> 01:05:51,247
- - If you eat a diet that
- was calorically adequate
- 1579
- 01:05:51,247 --> 01:05:53,182
- and even things like
- brown rice and broccoli
- 1580
- 01:05:53,182 --> 01:05:54,617
- and you got enough of it.
- 1581
- 01:05:54,617 --> 01:05:57,219
- You'd get enough both quantity
- and quality of protein.
- 1582
- 01:05:57,219 --> 01:05:59,155
- 2,000 calories of
- brown rice and broccoli
- 1583
- 01:05:59,155 --> 01:06:01,157
- is gonna be about 80
- grams of protein a day
- 1584
- 01:06:01,157 --> 01:06:03,025
- including the
- essential amino acids
- 1585
- 01:06:03,025 --> 01:06:05,761
- that you need in order to
- maintain optimum health.
- 1586
- 01:06:05,761 --> 01:06:07,830
- - I mean, the grains
- are loaded with protein.
- 1587
- 01:06:07,830 --> 01:06:09,632
- Beans are loaded with protein.
- 1588
- 01:06:09,632 --> 01:06:12,034
- Vegetables are
- loaded with protein.
- 1589
- 01:06:12,034 --> 01:06:15,137
- - You really want to get
- your protein from plants
- 1590
- 01:06:15,137 --> 01:06:18,641
- because plant proteins have
- a much more beneficial effect
- 1591
- 01:06:18,641 --> 01:06:20,142
- on our physiology.
- 1592
- 01:06:20,142 --> 01:06:22,044
- - The funny thing about
- protein is most Americans
- 1593
- 01:06:22,044 --> 01:06:24,146
- get about twice the
- amount they need.
- 1594
- 01:06:24,146 --> 01:06:25,715
- Most Americans are getting less
- 1595
- 01:06:25,715 --> 01:06:27,917
- than half the amount
- of fiber they need
- 1596
- 01:06:27,917 --> 01:06:30,019
- but the conversation tends
- to always be about protein.
- 1597
- 01:06:30,019 --> 01:06:33,122
- So, my mind, it's just this
- magical marketing campaign
- 1598
- 01:06:33,122 --> 01:06:35,558
- that protein has taken
- on over are decades.
- 1599
- 01:06:35,558 --> 01:06:37,393
- - The question is not
- where to get your protein,
- 1600
- 01:06:37,393 --> 01:06:39,161
- it's really where do
- you get your fiber?
- 1601
- 01:06:39,161 --> 01:06:41,464
- - I've never in my
- professional career
- 1602
- 01:06:41,464 --> 01:06:42,865
- seen a protein deficiency.
- 1603
- 01:06:42,865 --> 01:06:44,166
- I've never seen someone come in,
- 1604
- 01:06:44,166 --> 01:06:46,035
- eating normal
- amounts of calories
- 1605
- 01:06:46,035 --> 01:06:47,436
- and their protein deficient.
- 1606
- 01:06:47,436 --> 01:06:48,904
- You just don't see that.
- 1607
- 01:06:48,904 --> 01:06:52,475
- - So, human milk has the
- lowest protein content ever
- 1608
- 01:06:52,475 --> 01:06:54,610
- in any species ever tested.
- 1609
- 01:06:54,610 --> 01:06:57,580
- That's the fluid that's
- been designed by evolution
- 1610
- 01:06:57,580 --> 01:06:59,115
- over millions of years.
- 1611
- 01:06:59,115 --> 01:07:03,219
- That's like the perfect food
- for human babies, right?
- 1612
- 01:07:03,219 --> 01:07:06,989
- Perfect food, lowest protein
- content any other mammal.
- 1613
- 01:07:06,989 --> 01:07:09,759
- So, it gives a sense of
- protein requirements for--
- 1614
- 01:07:10,793 --> 01:07:11,627
- Anything.
- 1615
- 01:07:11,627 --> 01:07:12,862
- - [Kip] Like unit.
- 1616
- 01:07:12,862 --> 01:07:15,398
- - Than rat milk, ape milk--
- - Really?
- 1617
- 01:07:15,398 --> 01:07:17,967
- - Donkey milk, any milk
- that's ever been tested.
- 1618
- 01:07:17,967 --> 01:07:19,502
- - You hear this a
- lot in body builders.
- 1619
- 01:07:19,502 --> 01:07:24,273
- Well, I need a chicken or
- I need fish to be strong,
- 1620
- 01:07:24,273 --> 01:07:25,474
- to build muscle tissue.
- 1621
- 01:07:25,474 --> 01:07:27,410
- That is utter nonsense.
- 1622
- 01:07:27,410 --> 01:07:31,080
- The largest, strongest
- terrestrial animals
- on the planet
- 1623
- 01:07:31,080 --> 01:07:32,548
- are all herbivores.
- 1624
- 01:07:32,548 --> 01:07:35,151
- The biggest, strongest
- animals are all herbivores.
- 1625
- 01:07:35,151 --> 01:07:37,920
- - When we bring in people
- and they're on meaty diets
- 1626
- 01:07:37,920 --> 01:07:39,588
- and we transition them
- to a plant-based diet,
- 1627
- 01:07:39,588 --> 01:07:40,923
- we always track
- what their eating.
- 1628
- 01:07:40,923 --> 01:07:43,192
- Their vitamin intake goes up.
- 1629
- 01:07:43,192 --> 01:07:46,195
- Their nutrition overall
- goes up dramatically better
- 1630
- 01:07:46,195 --> 01:07:48,697
- and these same people
- might worry in advance,
- 1631
- 01:07:48,697 --> 01:07:50,466
- "Will I get the
- nutrition that I need
- 1632
- 01:07:50,466 --> 01:07:51,567
- "on a plant-based diet?"
- 1633
- 01:07:51,567 --> 01:07:53,235
- The fact is, you're not getting
- 1634
- 01:07:53,235 --> 01:07:55,104
- the nutrition you need
- on a meat-based diet
- 1635
- 01:07:55,104 --> 01:07:56,539
- and you're gonna
- get dramatically
- 1636
- 01:07:56,539 --> 01:07:58,307
- better nutrition on
- a plant-based diet.
- 1637
- 01:07:58,307 --> 01:08:00,943
- - For an average-sized
- guy like myself,
- 1638
- 01:08:00,943 --> 01:08:04,313
- I need about 56 grams of
- protein a day, that's optimum.
- 1639
- 01:08:04,313 --> 01:08:06,782
- Probably, I really need
- 30 to 40 grams a day.
- 1640
- 01:08:06,782 --> 01:08:08,350
- Diets are really
- high on these protein
- 1641
- 01:08:08,350 --> 01:08:12,188
- create diabetes, create
- heart disease, create cancer,
- 1642
- 01:08:12,188 --> 01:08:15,191
- create the diseases that I'm
- treating on a daily basis.
- 1643
- 01:08:15,191 --> 01:08:16,358
- - [Kip] But this is the opposite
- 1644
- 01:08:16,358 --> 01:08:18,694
- of all the high
- protein diet fads say.
- 1645
- 01:08:18,694 --> 01:08:20,963
- - The food you eat
- determines the bacteria
- 1646
- 01:08:20,963 --> 01:08:22,231
- that live in your gut.
- 1647
- 01:08:22,231 --> 01:08:24,166
- While you eat animal
- flesh every day,
- 1648
- 01:08:24,166 --> 01:08:28,471
- you are summoning up
- bacteria that eat carnitine
- 1649
- 01:08:28,471 --> 01:08:31,140
- and those bacteria will
- turn that carnitine
- 1650
- 01:08:31,140 --> 01:08:34,076
- into a molecule
- called trimethylamine.
- 1651
- 01:08:34,076 --> 01:08:37,580
- Your liver then turns that
- into trimethylamine oxide.
- 1652
- 01:08:37,580 --> 01:08:39,114
- That's a molecule from hell.
- 1653
- 01:08:39,114 --> 01:08:42,418
- That molecule drives cholesterol
- into the artery walls
- 1654
- 01:08:42,418 --> 01:08:45,387
- and the people who are
- consuming this flesh-based diet
- 1655
- 01:08:45,387 --> 01:08:47,756
- are tripping to
- plaque building up.
- 1656
- 01:08:47,756 --> 01:08:50,059
- They may lose weight on
- this diet and that's good
- 1657
- 01:08:50,059 --> 01:08:53,462
- but what's happening inside
- your arteries paleo friends?
- 1658
- 01:08:53,462 --> 01:08:55,698
- What's happening is that
- plaque is building up
- 1659
- 01:08:55,698 --> 01:08:58,400
- and these are folks who
- drop dead at the gym at 39.
- 1660
- 01:08:58,400 --> 01:09:00,536
- Boo, he was lean and
- he looked really good
- 1661
- 01:09:00,536 --> 01:09:02,771
- but where is that
- cholesterol going?
- 1662
- 01:09:02,771 --> 01:09:04,306
- It's going to your artery walls.
- 1663
- 01:09:04,306 --> 01:09:08,010
- So, I believe in this paleo
- folks are setting themselves up
- 1664
- 01:09:08,010 --> 01:09:11,914
- for an epidemic of clogged
- arteries, colon cancers,
- 1665
- 01:09:11,914 --> 01:09:15,351
- autoimmune diseases, this
- is not a healthy diet.
- 1666
- 01:09:15,351 --> 01:09:17,219
- We are not carnivorous apes.
- 1667
- 01:09:17,219 --> 01:09:19,455
- - [Kip] Humans' closest
- living relatives are chimps
- 1668
- 01:09:19,455 --> 01:09:21,824
- who get 97% of their
- calories from plants
- 1669
- 01:09:21,824 --> 01:09:24,493
- and the remaining 3%
- mostly from insects.
- 1670
- 01:09:24,493 --> 01:09:26,795
- Comparing the anatomy of
- true omnivores like bears
- 1671
- 01:09:26,795 --> 01:09:29,765
- who eat both meat and plants
- to frugivores like primates
- 1672
- 01:09:29,765 --> 01:09:31,734
- who eat almost
- exclusively plants,
- 1673
- 01:09:31,734 --> 01:09:33,502
- the differences
- are pretty clear.
- 1674
- 01:09:33,502 --> 01:09:35,571
- Frugivore teeth have flat
- molars for chewing plants
- 1675
- 01:09:35,571 --> 01:09:37,139
- where omnivore
- teeth are serrated
- 1676
- 01:09:37,139 --> 01:09:39,174
- for stabbing and tearing flesh.
- 1677
- 01:09:39,174 --> 01:09:40,676
- Frugivore jaws can move forward
- 1678
- 01:09:40,676 --> 01:09:41,877
- and back and side to side.
- 1679
- 01:09:41,877 --> 01:09:43,879
- Omnivore jaws cannot.
- 1680
- 01:09:43,879 --> 01:09:45,881
- Omnivores have much
- stronger stomach acid
- 1681
- 01:09:45,881 --> 01:09:47,349
- for digesting meat
- 1682
- 01:09:47,349 --> 01:09:49,485
- compared to less acidic
- stomach acid of frugivores.
- 1683
- 01:09:49,485 --> 01:09:52,555
- The intestines of frugivores
- is nine times their body length
- 1684
- 01:09:52,555 --> 01:09:54,456
- compared to three
- times for omnivores.
- 1685
- 01:09:54,456 --> 01:09:56,659
- This is because meat will
- putrify in the gut less
- 1686
- 01:09:56,659 --> 01:09:58,160
- as it moved through it quickly.
- 1687
- 01:09:58,160 --> 01:10:00,629
- If humans were indeed true
- omnivores, we would need
- 1688
- 01:10:00,629 --> 01:10:03,532
- to change our physiology
- and appearance quite a lot
- 1689
- 01:10:03,532 --> 01:10:06,769
- but we fit every
- requirement of a frugivore.
- 1690
- 01:10:06,769 --> 01:10:08,137
- We may behave like omnivores
- 1691
- 01:10:08,137 --> 01:10:10,673
- but anatomically,
- we're frugivores.
- 1692
- 01:10:10,673 --> 01:10:12,908
- - Human beings, unlike
- bears and raccoons
- 1693
- 01:10:12,908 --> 01:10:14,577
- and to some extent dogs,
- 1694
- 01:10:14,577 --> 01:10:18,280
- don't have that mixed
- anatomy and physiology
- 1695
- 01:10:18,280 --> 01:10:20,049
- that you see in
- the true omnivores
- 1696
- 01:10:20,049 --> 01:10:22,151
- and thus, we are
- not true omnivores.
- 1697
- 01:10:22,151 --> 01:10:25,788
- In humans, the canines
- have become really small
- 1698
- 01:10:25,788 --> 01:10:30,025
- and rounded and
- actually function like
- accessory incisors.
- 1699
- 01:10:30,025 --> 01:10:31,827
- They're utterly
- useless for ripping
- 1700
- 01:10:31,827 --> 01:10:34,229
- and tearing anything
- other than the envelope.
- 1701
- 01:10:34,229 --> 01:10:37,700
- So, the idea that the mere
- presence of the canine
- 1702
- 01:10:37,700 --> 01:10:40,669
- somehow means that
- we're supposed to
- eat meat, it's silly.
- 1703
- 01:10:40,669 --> 01:10:41,904
- - [Kip] He was right.
- 1704
- 01:10:41,904 --> 01:10:43,339
- I always tell my
- canines were from me
- 1705
- 01:10:43,339 --> 01:10:45,107
- but what kind of animal
- could I actually kill
- 1706
- 01:10:45,107 --> 01:10:47,776
- and eat raw with
- these tiny teeth?
- 1707
- 01:10:47,776 --> 01:10:49,778
- The thought alone
- was disgusting.
- 1708
- 01:10:49,778 --> 01:10:51,380
- - I mean everybody
- loves a smoothie
- 1709
- 01:10:51,380 --> 01:10:54,049
- made with fruit and
- even some vegetables
- 1710
- 01:10:54,049 --> 01:10:55,918
- but if you think
- about putting a fish
- 1711
- 01:10:55,918 --> 01:11:00,255
- or a piece of beef in the
- blender and grinding it up.
- 1712
- 01:11:00,255 --> 01:11:03,025
- The thought is
- absolutely repulsive.
- 1713
- 01:11:03,025 --> 01:11:04,727
- - [Kip] All these
- diseases I'd learned about
- 1714
- 01:11:04,727 --> 01:11:07,129
- were from eating a diet our
- body wasn't designed for.
- 1715
- 01:11:07,129 --> 01:11:09,031
- What would happen if we
- started eating a diet
- 1716
- 01:11:09,031 --> 01:11:11,400
- our body actually
- was designed for?
- 1717
- 01:11:11,400 --> 01:11:12,901
- - The data is crystal clear
- 1718
- 01:11:12,901 --> 01:11:15,537
- that you can stop and
- reverse heart disease
- 1719
- 01:11:15,537 --> 01:11:17,039
- with plant-based diets.
- 1720
- 01:11:17,039 --> 01:11:20,142
- Scientifically shown, I've
- seen in my own patients.
- 1721
- 01:11:20,142 --> 01:11:22,311
- - People who adopt
- low-fat plant-based diets
- 1722
- 01:11:22,311 --> 01:11:24,380
- can actually reverse
- their heart disease
- 1723
- 01:11:24,380 --> 01:11:26,682
- and that literally means
- watching the plaques
- 1724
- 01:11:26,682 --> 01:11:29,618
- start to go away, something
- they didn't think could happen.
- 1725
- 01:11:29,618 --> 01:11:31,253
- - My experience with patients is
- 1726
- 01:11:31,253 --> 01:11:33,022
- and the studies show
- that when people adopt
- 1727
- 01:11:33,022 --> 01:11:35,357
- the fully plant-based diet,
- their cholesterol levels
- 1728
- 01:11:35,357 --> 01:11:36,825
- plummet within a few days
- 1729
- 01:11:36,825 --> 01:11:38,494
- and if you do blood tests
- in a couple of weeks,
- 1730
- 01:11:38,494 --> 01:11:40,296
- you'll see dramatic
- improvements.
- 1731
- 01:11:40,296 --> 01:11:41,930
- - Yes, your numbers
- are gonna look great
- 1732
- 01:11:41,930 --> 01:11:43,198
- within a week or two.
- 1733
- 01:11:43,198 --> 01:11:44,633
- Your cholesterol can
- come crashing down.
- 1734
- 01:11:44,633 --> 01:11:46,168
- In fact, if you're
- on medications,
- 1735
- 01:11:46,168 --> 01:11:47,169
- your doctor may have to pull off
- 1736
- 01:11:47,169 --> 01:11:48,737
- your blood pressure medications
- 1737
- 01:11:48,737 --> 01:11:50,472
- so your blood pressure
- don't drop too low
- 1738
- 01:11:50,472 --> 01:11:52,174
- because it can work too good.
- 1739
- 01:11:52,174 --> 01:11:55,144
- The side effect is not
- having to take drugs.
- 1740
- 01:11:55,144 --> 01:11:57,446
- - [Kip] In a groundbreaking
- study published by Dr. Esselstyn
- 1741
- 01:11:57,446 --> 01:12:00,416
- following patients suffering
- from cardiovascular disease,
- 1742
- 01:12:00,416 --> 01:12:04,520
- 99.4% were able to avoid
- major cardiac events
- 1743
- 01:12:04,520 --> 01:12:06,188
- by going plant-based.
- 1744
- 01:12:06,188 --> 01:12:07,890
- - Because it's not
- just heart disease.
- 1745
- 01:12:07,890 --> 01:12:10,626
- It's hypertension, it's
- diabetes, it's strokes,
- 1746
- 01:12:10,626 --> 01:12:14,396
- it's heart attacks, it's several
- of the autoimmune diseases,
- 1747
- 01:12:14,396 --> 01:12:17,232
- lupus, asthma,
- GERD, osteoporosis.
- 1748
- 01:12:18,500 --> 01:12:21,303
- I mean, there's a
- multitude of diseases.
- 1749
- 01:12:21,303 --> 01:12:22,638
- Even rheumatoid arthritis.
- 1750
- 01:12:22,638 --> 01:12:23,906
- It's gonna be so dramatic.
- 1751
- 01:12:23,906 --> 01:12:25,407
- When you see these poor souls
- 1752
- 01:12:25,407 --> 01:12:27,443
- who are just absolutely crippled
- 1753
- 01:12:27,443 --> 01:12:29,445
- with rheumatoid
- arthritis go plant-based,
- 1754
- 01:12:29,445 --> 01:12:32,347
- then they come off
- their medication.
- 1755
- 01:12:32,347 --> 01:12:34,083
- - I wanted to follow
- up with Jane Chapman
- 1756
- 01:12:34,083 --> 01:12:36,418
- who had been suffering
- if severe osteoarthritis,
- 1757
- 01:12:36,418 --> 01:12:39,788
- and I could not believe what
- I saw after only a few weeks
- 1758
- 01:12:39,788 --> 01:12:42,324
- of fasting and
- changing her diet.
- 1759
- 01:12:42,324 --> 01:12:44,126
- - So amazing to
- see you like this--
- 1760
- 01:12:44,126 --> 01:12:45,627
- - I know.
- - Only a few weeks later.
- 1761
- 01:12:45,627 --> 01:12:49,031
- - I know, from going
- from the walker,
- 1762
- 01:12:49,031 --> 01:12:52,401
- needing wheelchair
- assistance at the airport
- 1763
- 01:12:52,401 --> 01:12:55,270
- to strolling down the street,
- 1764
- 01:12:55,270 --> 01:12:59,308
- enjoying the fresh air
- and the sunshine...
- 1765
- 01:12:59,308 --> 01:13:02,811
- Two weeks is all it took, two
- weeks to get off all the meds
- 1766
- 01:13:02,811 --> 01:13:06,148
- and start to feel
- the inflammation
- 1767
- 01:13:06,148 --> 01:13:08,817
- just drained out of the body
- 1768
- 01:13:08,817 --> 01:13:11,754
- where the movement
- was much easier,
- 1769
- 01:13:12,955 --> 01:13:15,891
- just a lot of healing
- occurred very rapidly
- 1770
- 01:13:15,891 --> 01:13:18,393
- just by doing the right
- things for your body.
- 1771
- 01:13:18,393 --> 01:13:21,530
- - When you're treating
- diseases with drugs,
- 1772
- 01:13:21,530 --> 01:13:23,432
- there's one drug you
- take for cholesterol,
- 1773
- 01:13:23,432 --> 01:13:25,901
- a different class of drugs to
- take for high blood pressure,
- 1774
- 01:13:25,901 --> 01:13:28,237
- different class of drugs
- you take for diabetes,
- 1775
- 01:13:28,237 --> 01:13:30,272
- but with diet, a
- plant-based diet,
- 1776
- 01:13:30,272 --> 01:13:34,510
- affects all these diseases,
- one diet rules them all.
- 1777
- 01:13:34,510 --> 01:13:35,844
- - [Kip] The impacts
- of eating this way
- 1778
- 01:13:35,844 --> 01:13:37,146
- go far beyond ourselves.
- 1779
- 01:13:37,146 --> 01:13:39,014
- By getting rid of
- heart disease alone,
- 1780
- 01:13:39,014 --> 01:13:42,084
- we would save up to 48
- trillion dollars in the USA,
- 1781
- 01:13:42,084 --> 01:13:44,553
- three times the US GDP.
- 1782
- 01:13:44,553 --> 01:13:46,054
- - Conditions like
- high blood pressure,
- 1783
- 01:13:46,054 --> 01:13:48,690
- you don't have to take the
- drugs for rest of your life
- 1784
- 01:13:48,690 --> 01:13:50,192
- and be sick forever.
- 1785
- 01:13:50,192 --> 01:13:52,161
- What you can do is live in
- such a way that it gives
- 1786
- 01:13:52,161 --> 01:13:53,862
- the body a chance
- to heal itself.
- 1787
- 01:13:53,862 --> 01:13:57,399
- We took 174 consecutive patients
- with high blood pressure
- 1788
- 01:13:57,399 --> 01:13:59,601
- and 174 people
- were able to lower
- 1789
- 01:13:59,601 --> 01:14:00,836
- their blood pressure enough
- 1790
- 01:14:00,836 --> 01:14:02,638
- to eliminate the
- need for medication.
- 1791
- 01:14:02,638 --> 01:14:05,040
- - For inflammatory bowel
- disease like Crohn's,
- 1792
- 01:14:05,040 --> 01:14:07,709
- the best remission
- rates ever achieved
- 1793
- 01:14:07,709 --> 01:14:10,445
- through plant-based diet,
- MS, multiple sclerosis.
- 1794
- 01:14:10,445 --> 01:14:13,115
- The best results ever
- achieved compared
- 1795
- 01:14:13,115 --> 01:14:15,517
- to any medical-surgical,
- any kind of intervention,
- 1796
- 01:14:15,517 --> 01:14:17,019
- was a plant-based diet.
- 1797
- 01:14:17,019 --> 01:14:19,321
- - You can see that with
- every sequential reduction
- 1798
- 01:14:19,321 --> 01:14:22,024
- in animal products,
- people live longer,
- 1799
- 01:14:22,024 --> 01:14:24,026
- they have less heart disease,
- they have less cancer,
- 1800
- 01:14:24,026 --> 01:14:25,327
- they have less diabetes.
- 1801
- 01:14:25,327 --> 01:14:26,995
- - You can actually
- take human cancer cells
- 1802
- 01:14:26,995 --> 01:14:28,263
- and put 'em in a Petri dish,
- 1803
- 01:14:28,263 --> 01:14:30,232
- you can drip the blood
- of those eating vegan,
- 1804
- 01:14:30,232 --> 01:14:33,001
- get about 72% suppression
- 1805
- 01:14:33,001 --> 01:14:36,038
- in human prostate cancer
- cell growth in vitro.
- 1806
- 01:14:36,038 --> 01:14:39,107
- They want to try this again
- with women in breast cancer,
- 1807
- 01:14:39,107 --> 01:14:40,709
- said, "Let's see what a
- plant-based diet can do."
- 1808
- 01:14:40,709 --> 01:14:43,245
- After just two weeks,
- their bodies cleaned up.
- 1809
- 01:14:43,245 --> 01:14:46,448
- You drip their blood on the
- same carpet of cancer cells,
- 1810
- 01:14:46,448 --> 01:14:48,250
- you can clear off
- the whole plate.
- 1811
- 01:14:48,250 --> 01:14:50,319
- This is after just two
- weeks eating healthy
- 1812
- 01:14:50,319 --> 01:14:51,587
- which raised the question,
- 1813
- 01:14:51,587 --> 01:14:53,488
- what kind of blood do
- we want in our bodies?
- 1814
- 01:14:53,488 --> 01:14:56,892
- - My background is in industrial
- and systems engineering
- 1815
- 01:14:56,892 --> 01:15:00,395
- and that was my career
- path for a long time
- 1816
- 01:15:00,395 --> 01:15:03,165
- until I had thyroid cancer
- 1817
- 01:15:03,165 --> 01:15:06,568
- and everything
- changed from there.
- 1818
- 01:15:06,568 --> 01:15:10,739
- I decided that I wanted
- to try alternative methods
- 1819
- 01:15:11,874 --> 01:15:14,009
- and treatments rather
- than have surgery
- 1820
- 01:15:14,009 --> 01:15:15,811
- and have my thyroid removed
- 1821
- 01:15:15,811 --> 01:15:17,079
- which meant I'd be
- on medication forever
- 1822
- 01:15:17,079 --> 01:15:18,614
- and didn't want that.
- 1823
- 01:15:18,614 --> 01:15:21,583
- I just started reading
- into how plant-based diet
- 1824
- 01:15:21,583 --> 01:15:25,120
- can heal the body and it has
- worked for so many people.
- 1825
- 01:15:25,120 --> 01:15:27,089
- So, I immediately just switched
- 1826
- 01:15:27,089 --> 01:15:30,759
- to a completely whole
- food plant-based diet.
- 1827
- 01:15:30,759 --> 01:15:33,929
- After a year, the cancer
- was completely gone
- 1828
- 01:15:33,929 --> 01:15:37,032
- and my thyroid had
- shrunk to normal size
- 1829
- 01:15:37,032 --> 01:15:40,035
- and I was completely
- free of that.
- 1830
- 01:15:40,035 --> 01:15:41,536
- - [Kip] This was
- tough to believe.
- 1831
- 01:15:41,536 --> 01:15:43,438
- Couldn't this all just be
- from eating healthier though
- 1832
- 01:15:43,438 --> 01:15:44,873
- like no sugar?
- 1833
- 01:15:44,873 --> 01:15:47,409
- Turns out, Dr. Walter
- Kempner from Duke University
- 1834
- 01:15:47,409 --> 01:15:49,811
- back in the 1940's
- was reversing some
- 1835
- 01:15:49,811 --> 01:15:52,481
- of our worst killer
- diseases with diet alone
- 1836
- 01:15:52,481 --> 01:15:53,649
- and the diet he was using
- 1837
- 01:15:53,649 --> 01:15:55,550
- was not always
- strictly plant-based
- 1838
- 01:15:55,550 --> 01:15:59,621
- but it was made up of white
- rice, fruit, and table sugar.
- 1839
- 01:15:59,621 --> 01:16:01,423
- - And he was reversing diabetes,
- 1840
- 01:16:01,423 --> 01:16:03,592
- he was reversing
- malignant hypertension,
- 1841
- 01:16:03,592 --> 01:16:06,728
- reversing heart disease,
- the diabetic complications,
- 1842
- 01:16:06,728 --> 01:16:08,997
- reversing diabetic blindness.
- 1843
- 01:16:08,997 --> 01:16:11,133
- So, these people basically
- had death sentences,
- 1844
- 01:16:11,133 --> 01:16:14,069
- went to him, and were
- given basically sugar.
- 1845
- 01:16:14,069 --> 01:16:16,204
- You know, this horrible diet
- 1846
- 01:16:16,204 --> 01:16:19,207
- but it was strictly plant-based.
- 1847
- 01:16:19,207 --> 01:16:20,642
- - [Kip] If this
- information had been around
- 1848
- 01:16:20,642 --> 01:16:23,879
- since the 1940's, why don't
- all doctors know this?
- 1849
- 01:16:23,879 --> 01:16:25,047
- - We're not taught
- about the power
- 1850
- 01:16:25,047 --> 01:16:27,516
- of food in medical school.
- 1851
- 01:16:27,516 --> 01:16:31,153
- No one is taught that
- the changes that we make
- 1852
- 01:16:31,153 --> 01:16:34,489
- with our diet are probably
- the single most powerful thing
- 1853
- 01:16:34,489 --> 01:16:36,692
- we can do to
- determine our destiny.
- 1854
- 01:16:36,692 --> 01:16:38,327
- It trumps our genetics.
- 1855
- 01:16:38,327 --> 01:16:39,928
- - Why isn't your
- doctor telling this?
- 1856
- 01:16:39,928 --> 01:16:42,531
- Odds are your doctor never
- learned any of these.
- 1857
- 01:16:42,531 --> 01:16:43,832
- In fact, there is even
- a bill introduced,
- 1858
- 01:16:43,832 --> 01:16:45,167
- just mandating physicians
- 1859
- 01:16:45,167 --> 01:16:47,102
- to get seven hours
- of nutrition training
- 1860
- 01:16:47,102 --> 01:16:49,771
- every couple of years just
- kinda stay on top of it
- 1861
- 01:16:49,771 --> 01:16:52,808
- and who came out against that?
- 1862
- 01:16:52,808 --> 01:16:54,343
- The California
- Medical Association.
- 1863
- 01:16:54,343 --> 01:16:56,078
- Even the family
- physicians, the surgeons,
- 1864
- 01:16:56,078 --> 01:16:59,348
- all the mainstream medical
- groups came out opposed.
- 1865
- 01:16:59,348 --> 01:17:01,483
- - If seven hours, that's a lot.
- 1866
- 01:17:01,483 --> 01:17:03,752
- Even if it's over
- one for your period.
- 1867
- 01:17:03,752 --> 01:17:05,687
- - So, they're not just neutral
- 1868
- 01:17:05,687 --> 01:17:09,291
- but they actually actively
- opposing nutrition education.
- 1869
- 01:17:09,291 --> 01:17:11,293
- - Ironically, when patients
- come to doctors with questions,
- 1870
- 01:17:11,293 --> 01:17:14,029
- they assume that the doctor
- knows something about nutrition
- 1871
- 01:17:14,029 --> 01:17:16,198
- and so, it's kind of a
- double whammy that doctors
- 1872
- 01:17:16,198 --> 01:17:17,833
- haven't been taught
- much about nutrition.
- 1873
- 01:17:17,833 --> 01:17:19,801
- - [Kip] Why don't we hear
- about this from dieticians
- 1874
- 01:17:19,801 --> 01:17:22,170
- where nutrition is
- their entire specialty?
- 1875
- 01:17:22,170 --> 01:17:24,473
- Turns out, the
- American Nutrition and
- Dietetics Association
- 1876
- 01:17:24,473 --> 01:17:26,208
- puts out a nutrition
- facts sheets
- 1877
- 01:17:26,208 --> 01:17:28,043
- written by the
- industries themselves.
- 1878
- 01:17:28,043 --> 01:17:30,512
- The industries pay
- $20,000 per fact sheet
- 1879
- 01:17:30,512 --> 01:17:32,848
- and explicitly take
- part in writing them.
- 1880
- 01:17:32,848 --> 01:17:34,516
- So, you can learn about
- eggs from the egg industry.
- 1881
- 01:17:34,516 --> 01:17:37,252
- You can learn about lamb
- from the lamb industry.
- 1882
- 01:17:37,252 --> 01:17:39,454
- This would be like learning
- about the benefits of smoking
- 1883
- 01:17:39,454 --> 01:17:41,189
- from the tobacco industry.
- 1884
- 01:17:41,189 --> 01:17:42,858
- - When people are eating meat,
- 1885
- 01:17:42,858 --> 01:17:44,726
- I think of it as a
- bit like smoking.
- 1886
- 01:17:44,726 --> 01:17:46,828
- It's sort of Russian Roulette.
- 1887
- 01:17:46,828 --> 01:17:48,330
- You may not get diabetes
- 1888
- 01:17:48,330 --> 01:17:51,433
- but your chances of getting
- diabetes, about one in three.
- 1889
- 01:17:51,433 --> 01:17:53,001
- You may not get cancer
- but your chances
- 1890
- 01:17:53,001 --> 01:17:55,937
- if you're a man, about one in
- two, a woman, one in three.
- 1891
- 01:17:55,937 --> 01:17:58,106
- Your chances of gaining
- weight, two out of three.
- 1892
- 01:17:58,106 --> 01:18:00,142
- It's not all diet
- but most of it is.
- 1893
- 01:18:00,142 --> 01:18:01,977
- The best thing that
- you can do to make sure
- 1894
- 01:18:01,977 --> 01:18:05,080
- that you empty those
- bullets out of the chamber
- 1895
- 01:18:05,080 --> 01:18:06,715
- and not taking risk
- with your health,
- 1896
- 01:18:06,715 --> 01:18:08,984
- is to get the animal
- products out of your diet
- 1897
- 01:18:08,984 --> 01:18:11,286
- and eat healthy foods.
- 1898
- 01:18:11,286 --> 01:18:14,122
- - I came to TrueNorth to
- help me with my asthma
- 1899
- 01:18:14,122 --> 01:18:16,658
- and to lose a little
- weight and it's amazing,
- 1900
- 01:18:16,658 --> 01:18:18,727
- just in two weeks
- of changing my diet,
- 1901
- 01:18:18,727 --> 01:18:22,431
- don't have to take
- any asthma medication,
- 1902
- 01:18:22,431 --> 01:18:26,468
- no anti-depressants,
- no pain medication,
- 1903
- 01:18:26,468 --> 01:18:30,572
- no heart medication, nothing,
- no medications at all.
- 1904
- 01:18:30,572 --> 01:18:33,942
- And it's really,
- it's just incredible.
- 1905
- 01:18:33,942 --> 01:18:37,345
- I was taking Oxy
- and Advil and...
- 1906
- 01:18:37,345 --> 01:18:40,215
- I was taking 800 milligrams
- of Motrin three times a day
- 1907
- 01:18:40,215 --> 01:18:42,017
- just to get through the day
- 1908
- 01:18:42,017 --> 01:18:43,819
- because I was in so much pain.
- 1909
- 01:18:43,819 --> 01:18:45,454
- And now, nothing.
- 1910
- 01:18:45,454 --> 01:18:46,455
- - Wow.
- - Nothing at all.
- 1911
- 01:18:46,455 --> 01:18:47,289
- - Two weeks?
- 1912
- 01:18:47,289 --> 01:18:48,890
- - Two weeks, 14 days.
- 1913
- 01:18:48,890 --> 01:18:49,858
- - So, you're taking
- all that medication,
- 1914
- 01:18:49,858 --> 01:18:51,259
- you're completely off?
- 1915
- 01:18:51,259 --> 01:18:52,961
- - Completely off everything.
- 1916
- 01:18:52,961 --> 01:18:54,563
- It's just been so
- frustrating to me
- 1917
- 01:18:54,563 --> 01:18:58,600
- because I went to so many
- different doctors for help
- 1918
- 01:18:58,600 --> 01:19:01,403
- and I tried so many
- different medications
- 1919
- 01:19:01,403 --> 01:19:04,272
- to help me with my
- asthma and nothing helped
- 1920
- 01:19:04,272 --> 01:19:07,209
- and I was stuck on the couch
- for the last 10 months,
- 1921
- 01:19:07,209 --> 01:19:11,046
- unable to breathe, and
- now, in two weeks time,
- 1922
- 01:19:12,481 --> 01:19:15,350
- 14 days, I'm off my medication.
- 1923
- 01:19:15,350 --> 01:19:18,887
- And I can breathe and I
- feel good, and I can walk.
- 1924
- 01:19:18,887 --> 01:19:21,990
- My life has changed
- and I took two weeks
- 1925
- 01:19:21,990 --> 01:19:24,159
- of a whole plant-based diet.
- 1926
- 01:19:24,159 --> 01:19:25,393
- - [Kip] That's incredible.
- 1927
- 01:19:25,393 --> 01:19:26,228
- - Yeah.
- 1928
- 01:19:27,295 --> 01:19:28,530
- - That was incredible.
- 1929
- 01:19:28,530 --> 01:19:30,932
- - It really is.
- - That sounds amazing.
- 1930
- 01:19:30,932 --> 01:19:32,167
- - I know, it really is.
- 1931
- 01:19:32,167 --> 01:19:35,871
- I feel so blessed and so
- good and just so happy
- 1932
- 01:19:37,472 --> 01:19:39,274
- to be doing this and I'm hoping
- 1933
- 01:19:39,274 --> 01:19:41,309
- that I can be a role
- model for other people
- 1934
- 01:19:41,309 --> 01:19:43,378
- and not be pushy about it
- 1935
- 01:19:44,813 --> 01:19:48,416
- because everyone's gonna
- do it in their own time.
- 1936
- 01:19:48,416 --> 01:19:50,752
- But think on my time is now.
- 1937
- 01:19:53,555 --> 01:19:54,656
- - [Kip] That's incredible.
- 1938
- 01:19:54,656 --> 01:19:56,091
- - Thanks, thanks.
- 1939
- 01:19:58,860 --> 01:20:00,562
- - [Kip] As powerful
- as Amy's story was,
- 1940
- 01:20:00,562 --> 01:20:03,265
- I knew for some,
- eating 100% plant-based
- 1941
- 01:20:03,265 --> 01:20:05,000
- would still seem extreme.
- 1942
- 01:20:05,000 --> 01:20:07,802
- - I think, there's the
- sense that everything's okay
- 1943
- 01:20:07,802 --> 01:20:10,071
- in moderation, right?
- 1944
- 01:20:10,071 --> 01:20:14,342
- But we haven't seen
- that moderation works.
- 1945
- 01:20:14,342 --> 01:20:15,710
- There really isn't
- a study that shows
- 1946
- 01:20:15,710 --> 01:20:18,446
- that by eating meat
- and eggs in moderation,
- 1947
- 01:20:18,446 --> 01:20:20,182
- you can actually turn
- your heart disease around
- 1948
- 01:20:20,182 --> 01:20:21,650
- and get better.
- 1949
- 01:20:21,650 --> 01:20:22,851
- - [Kip] But I know people
- who have given up meat
- 1950
- 01:20:22,851 --> 01:20:24,319
- and they felt sick.
- 1951
- 01:20:24,319 --> 01:20:26,755
- - It's unlikely that
- anybody's symptoms
- 1952
- 01:20:26,755 --> 01:20:29,658
- are caused by a dead
- decaying flesh deficiency.
- 1953
- 01:20:29,658 --> 01:20:32,894
- The lack of highly processed
- animal food products
- 1954
- 01:20:32,894 --> 01:20:34,996
- in the diet is not
- gonna be associated
- 1955
- 01:20:34,996 --> 01:20:37,332
- with the causal factor
- about why there is that.
- 1956
- 01:20:37,332 --> 01:20:39,367
- There is gonna be a reason
- why they're not feeling well
- 1957
- 01:20:39,367 --> 01:20:40,835
- but that's not gonna
- be one of them.
- 1958
- 01:20:40,835 --> 01:20:42,704
- - So, I've had people go
- vegan and they come back to me
- 1959
- 01:20:42,704 --> 01:20:44,339
- and they're like,
- "I'm hypothyroid
- 1960
- 01:20:44,339 --> 01:20:45,874
- "and my doctor says
- I'm hypothyroid
- 1961
- 01:20:45,874 --> 01:20:50,445
- "because plant-based diet
- makes you hypothyroid."
- 1962
- 01:20:50,445 --> 01:20:52,280
- I'm like, so, what is
- your doctor tell all
- 1963
- 01:20:52,280 --> 01:20:54,115
- his meat-eaters that
- are hypothyroid?
- 1964
- 01:20:54,115 --> 01:20:55,784
- - [Kip] What was in
- animal flesh or dairy
- 1965
- 01:20:55,784 --> 01:20:58,553
- that you can't get
- in plant-based?
- 1966
- 01:20:58,553 --> 01:21:02,057
- - Cholesterol, heterocyclic
- amines, E-coli.
- 1967
- 01:21:03,692 --> 01:21:04,960
- You know, if you think about it,
- 1968
- 01:21:04,960 --> 01:21:07,729
- there is nothing in
- an animal-based diet
- 1969
- 01:21:07,729 --> 01:21:10,932
- that you can't get in the
- healthier form somewhere else.
- 1970
- 01:21:10,932 --> 01:21:13,535
- - I think, only other
- vitamin is vitamin B12,
- 1971
- 01:21:13,535 --> 01:21:15,737
- it's not made by plants,
- not made by animals either,
- 1972
- 01:21:15,737 --> 01:21:17,772
- made by a little microbes
- that blanket the earth.
- 1973
- 01:21:17,772 --> 01:21:20,542
- Because the way we live
- in unsanitized world,
- 1974
- 01:21:20,542 --> 01:21:23,645
- unless you're eating
- bacteria-contaminated foods,
- 1975
- 01:21:23,645 --> 01:21:25,547
- we need to get a source
- of B12 from somewhere,
- 1976
- 01:21:25,547 --> 01:21:28,316
- so, the healthiest,
- cheapest, safest source
- 1977
- 01:21:28,316 --> 01:21:30,685
- is getting vitamin
- B12 fortified food
- 1978
- 01:21:30,685 --> 01:21:32,020
- or vitamin B12 supplement,
- 1979
- 01:21:32,020 --> 01:21:34,022
- not to get it from
- meat and dairy.
- 1980
- 01:21:34,022 --> 01:21:35,523
- - [Kip] What about people
- who say they have to eat meat
- 1981
- 01:21:35,523 --> 01:21:38,827
- for their blood
- type or their genes?
- 1982
- 01:21:38,827 --> 01:21:41,796
- - It's like, "I need meat
- because I'm a Capricorn,"
- 1983
- 01:21:41,796 --> 01:21:43,298
- "I need meat 'cause I
- have an A plus blood."
- 1984
- 01:21:43,298 --> 01:21:44,399
- It's like, what do you say?
- 1985
- 01:21:44,399 --> 01:21:46,201
- No one has to eat meat.
- 1986
- 01:21:46,201 --> 01:21:48,303
- There's not vitamin,
- mineral, nutrient
- 1987
- 01:21:48,303 --> 01:21:51,973
- that you can't get from
- non-animal sources.
- 1988
- 01:21:51,973 --> 01:21:55,210
- - Valentine's Day, I've
- decided to go vegan
- 1989
- 01:21:55,210 --> 01:21:58,480
- and give up all
- meat, which was never
- 1990
- 01:21:58,480 --> 01:22:00,715
- in my thoughts in a
- while, million years,
- 1991
- 01:22:00,715 --> 01:22:04,119
- but I've heard so much success
- from people that are vegan.
- 1992
- 01:22:04,119 --> 01:22:07,188
- So, I gave up all animal
- product whatsoever,
- 1993
- 01:22:07,188 --> 01:22:11,359
- I've lost 29 pounds, I've been
- able to cut my med in half.
- 1994
- 01:22:12,527 --> 01:22:14,663
- I've been able to cut
- my insulin in half
- 1995
- 01:22:14,663 --> 01:22:16,698
- and now, I'm going for the moon.
- 1996
- 01:22:16,698 --> 01:22:18,233
- I'm gonna go cut it all out.
- 1997
- 01:22:18,233 --> 01:22:21,236
- In the last six weeks, we've
- just had three grandchildren
- 1998
- 01:22:21,236 --> 01:22:23,271
- and my ugly face
- is gonna be around
- 1999
- 01:22:23,271 --> 01:22:25,807
- to see them graduate from
- high school and college.
- 2000
- 01:22:25,807 --> 01:22:27,075
- I'm gonna be here.
- 2001
- 01:22:27,075 --> 01:22:28,610
- - My mission is to
- let everybody know
- 2002
- 01:22:28,610 --> 01:22:32,647
- you do not have to suffer
- from diabetes and cancer,
- 2003
- 01:22:32,647 --> 01:22:34,949
- and heart disease because
- someone in your family had it
- 2004
- 01:22:34,949 --> 01:22:36,618
- or because the doctors
- are telling you,
- 2005
- 01:22:36,618 --> 01:22:38,486
- this is what's gonna happen.
- 2006
- 01:22:38,486 --> 01:22:40,255
- You can take charge
- of your health
- 2007
- 01:22:40,255 --> 01:22:43,825
- and have a positive
- outcome just like I did.
- 2008
- 01:22:43,825 --> 01:22:46,761
- The reason I'm so
- committed to this is...
- 2009
- 01:22:46,761 --> 01:22:48,830
- My grandmother had diabetes,
- 2010
- 01:22:48,830 --> 01:22:53,468
- and I didn't know what I know
- now about healing the body
- 2011
- 01:22:53,468 --> 01:22:55,970
- and if I did, I feel
- like she could've lived
- 2012
- 01:22:55,970 --> 01:22:57,839
- at least a few years longer.
- 2013
- 01:22:57,839 --> 01:22:59,574
- So, it's in her honor
- 2014
- 01:23:01,843 --> 01:23:03,511
- that I do what I do
- 2015
- 01:23:03,511 --> 01:23:05,246
- 'cause I can save someone
- else's grandmother,
- 2016
- 01:23:05,246 --> 01:23:08,583
- aunt, uncle, father
- from that, you know.
- 2017
- 01:23:10,952 --> 01:23:13,288
- So,
- 2018
- 01:23:14,622 --> 01:23:18,326
- so, I'm excited about getting
- the message out there.
- 2019
- 01:23:18,326 --> 01:23:19,427
- - [Kip] There's a common belief
- 2020
- 01:23:19,427 --> 01:23:21,463
- that eating plant-based
- is expensive.
- 2021
- 01:23:21,463 --> 01:23:22,731
- - Not at all.
- 2022
- 01:23:22,731 --> 01:23:25,734
- It can be done in a
- very inexpensive way
- 2023
- 01:23:25,734 --> 01:23:28,103
- where you buy foods
- that are in season
- 2024
- 01:23:28,103 --> 01:23:32,173
- and you shop in the bulk bins
- and that saves a lot of money.
- 2025
- 01:23:32,173 --> 01:23:35,043
- You can eliminate a
- lot of your expenses
- 2026
- 01:23:35,043 --> 01:23:38,179
- on your grocery bill by
- not buying meat and dairy
- 2027
- 01:23:38,179 --> 01:23:40,348
- because these things
- are expensive.
- 2028
- 01:23:40,348 --> 01:23:42,550
- Our meal plan for
- a family of four
- 2029
- 01:23:42,550 --> 01:23:45,453
- is $25 per person in the family.
- 2030
- 01:23:45,453 --> 01:23:47,288
- - 20.64 is your total.
- 2031
- 01:23:48,256 --> 01:23:49,858
- - [Kip] 20.64, whoa!
- 2032
- 01:23:49,858 --> 01:23:51,226
- That's her entire week of food.
- 2033
- 01:23:51,226 --> 01:23:52,660
- - [Cashier] Really?
- 2034
- 01:23:52,660 --> 01:23:54,329
- - [Kip] An exploding
- movement of elite athletes
- 2035
- 01:23:54,329 --> 01:23:56,531
- are utilizing vegan
- diets to heal injuries,
- 2036
- 01:23:56,531 --> 01:23:59,801
- speed recovery times and
- enhance their performance.
- 2037
- 01:23:59,801 --> 01:24:01,069
- - Before I was vegan,
- 2038
- 01:24:01,069 --> 01:24:04,539
- I was only benchpressing
- 315 like five times.
- 2039
- 01:24:04,539 --> 01:24:05,807
- Then, after going vegan,
- 2040
- 01:24:05,807 --> 01:24:07,976
- I was doing 400, 425, 465.
- 2041
- 01:24:09,944 --> 01:24:11,946
- And I was like, oh my
- god, this is amazing.
- 2042
- 01:24:11,946 --> 01:24:15,016
- I'm vegan and I'm
- benchpressing 465 pounds.
- 2043
- 01:24:15,016 --> 01:24:16,184
- This is ridiculous.
- 2044
- 01:24:16,184 --> 01:24:17,452
- And as soon as I went vegan,
- 2045
- 01:24:17,452 --> 01:24:19,154
- tendonitis started disappearing.
- 2046
- 01:24:19,154 --> 01:24:21,322
- My strength in my right
- arm start coming back.
- 2047
- 01:24:21,322 --> 01:24:23,024
- High blood pressure
- was going down.
- 2048
- 01:24:23,024 --> 01:24:26,761
- You can't be strong and
- be dying on the hindsight,
- 2049
- 01:24:26,761 --> 01:24:29,964
- that's not strong, that's
- weak, that's really weak
- 2050
- 01:24:29,964 --> 01:24:32,000
- because you look big and
- strong in the outside,
- 2051
- 01:24:32,000 --> 01:24:35,170
- yeah, big man, no, but your
- heart's crying for help.
- 2052
- 01:24:35,170 --> 01:24:37,338
- On the inside, you're dying.
- 2053
- 01:24:37,338 --> 01:24:39,441
- - I'm a professional
- parkour athlete,
- 2054
- 01:24:39,441 --> 01:24:40,942
- two-time world
- freerunning champion.
- 2055
- 01:24:40,942 --> 01:24:42,744
- More recently, I got
- into Ninja Warrior
- 2056
- 01:24:42,744 --> 01:24:43,912
- where I'm captain of Team Europe
- 2057
- 01:24:43,912 --> 01:24:46,448
- as we won USA versus the world.
- 2058
- 01:24:46,448 --> 01:24:49,050
- For something like Ninja Warrior
- and parkour specifically,
- 2059
- 01:24:49,050 --> 01:24:52,287
- you really need to have good
- strength to body weight ratio.
- 2060
- 01:24:52,287 --> 01:24:54,222
- So, I was carrying massive,
- I really didn't need
- 2061
- 01:24:54,222 --> 01:24:56,458
- and when I went vegan,
- I lost 15, 20 pounds,
- 2062
- 01:24:56,458 --> 01:24:58,460
- I was more agile, I
- was more efficient,
- 2063
- 01:24:58,460 --> 01:24:59,994
- and more stamina in my body,
- 2064
- 01:24:59,994 --> 01:25:01,863
- just that extra bit of pop
- that I didn't have before,
- 2065
- 01:25:01,863 --> 01:25:03,598
- it just gave that
- extra strength.
- 2066
- 01:25:03,598 --> 01:25:05,867
- This is a very
- vibrant way to live.
- 2067
- 01:25:05,867 --> 01:25:07,802
- It can enhance
- you as an athlete.
- 2068
- 01:25:07,802 --> 01:25:10,605
- For me, 100% better
- athlete than I was before.
- 2069
- 01:25:10,605 --> 01:25:13,074
- It unlocks a whole new
- chapter of my training.
- 2070
- 01:25:13,074 --> 01:25:14,509
- The science is that,
- the health is that
- 2071
- 01:25:14,509 --> 01:25:15,743
- the athletes, they're
- proving that you don't need
- 2072
- 01:25:15,743 --> 01:25:18,913
- to eat dead animals to
- be strong to be healthy.
- 2073
- 01:25:18,913 --> 01:25:21,616
- - I started working out
- when I was 47 years old.
- 2074
- 01:25:21,616 --> 01:25:25,086
- All that muscles you
- see, I gained as vegan,
- 2075
- 01:25:25,086 --> 01:25:27,655
- I gained 15 pounds of
- muscles on my body.
- 2076
- 01:25:27,655 --> 01:25:29,657
- Eating all plant-based
- vegan foods.
- 2077
- 01:25:29,657 --> 01:25:33,561
- All the aches and pains in
- my body, it just went away
- 2078
- 01:25:33,561 --> 01:25:37,098
- because I'm not ingesting
- so many inflamed foods,
- 2079
- 01:25:37,098 --> 01:25:39,334
- the acidic foods that
- animal products are.
- 2080
- 01:25:39,334 --> 01:25:41,002
- Gorillas, rhinos, and elephants,
- 2081
- 01:25:41,002 --> 01:25:44,939
- they all get their muscles and
- strength from eating plants.
- 2082
- 01:25:44,939 --> 01:25:46,341
- That's what I do.
- 2083
- 01:25:46,341 --> 01:25:49,444
- - I travel all around
- the world for my surfing
- 2084
- 01:25:49,444 --> 01:25:51,880
- and I've always been
- able to eat vegan.
- 2085
- 01:25:51,880 --> 01:25:54,415
- I feel like if you
- want something,
- 2086
- 01:25:54,415 --> 01:25:55,650
- then you can make it happen.
- 2087
- 01:25:55,650 --> 01:25:57,285
- I just don't make any excuses.
- 2088
- 01:25:57,285 --> 01:26:00,321
- I would never not be vegan now
- that I know all the benefits
- 2089
- 01:26:00,321 --> 01:26:02,790
- and now that I know how
- it feels to be vegan.
- 2090
- 01:26:02,790 --> 01:26:04,726
- - Every aspect of my
- life has been improved
- 2091
- 01:26:04,726 --> 01:26:06,828
- by adopting this lifestyle.
- 2092
- 01:26:06,828 --> 01:26:09,631
- I feel better, I perform
- better athletically,
- 2093
- 01:26:09,631 --> 01:26:12,667
- I sleep better, my energy
- with my kids is better,
- 2094
- 01:26:12,667 --> 01:26:15,303
- my focus at work is better,
- everything is better.
- 2095
- 01:26:15,303 --> 01:26:17,572
- My skin cleared
- up, cut myself trim
- 2096
- 01:26:17,572 --> 01:26:19,908
- for nine years now doing this.
- 2097
- 01:26:19,908 --> 01:26:22,243
- All I can tell
- you is that I felt
- 2098
- 01:26:22,243 --> 01:26:26,581
- and I continue to feel better
- than I ever felt before.
- 2099
- 01:26:26,581 --> 01:26:28,383
- My friend, Jason Lester
- and I were the first people
- 2100
- 01:26:28,383 --> 01:26:31,786
- to do this challenge
- called EPIC5
- 2101
- 01:26:31,786 --> 01:26:33,788
- which entail doing five ironmans
- 2102
- 01:26:33,788 --> 01:26:36,491
- on five Hawaiian
- islands in our group.
- 2103
- 01:26:36,491 --> 01:26:38,459
- An ironman is a 2.4-mile swim
- 2104
- 01:26:38,459 --> 01:26:40,461
- followed by 112-mile bike,
- 2105
- 01:26:40,461 --> 01:26:44,465
- and then running a marathon,
- 26.2 miles after that.
- 2106
- 01:26:44,465 --> 01:26:45,967
- So, we did five
- of those in a row
- 2107
- 01:26:45,967 --> 01:26:49,470
- on five different islands
- and in little under a week.
- 2108
- 01:26:49,470 --> 01:26:50,605
- - Yeah, you almost die?
- 2109
- 01:26:50,605 --> 01:26:52,340
- - Yeah, die.
- 2110
- 01:26:52,340 --> 01:26:53,541
- - So, I guess the
- famous question,
- 2111
- 01:26:53,541 --> 01:26:55,310
- where did you get your
- protein?
- 2112
- 01:26:55,310 --> 01:26:59,314
- - From plants.
- 2113
- 01:26:59,314 --> 01:27:01,215
- - [Kip] Like so many people,
- I was looking for excuses
- 2114
- 01:27:01,215 --> 01:27:03,885
- not to change my diet
- but once I finally did,
- 2115
- 01:27:03,885 --> 01:27:05,420
- I felt liberated.
- 2116
- 01:27:05,420 --> 01:27:07,789
- Within days, I could feel the
- blood running through my veins
- 2117
- 01:27:07,789 --> 01:27:09,190
- with a new vitality.
- 2118
- 01:27:09,190 --> 01:27:10,925
- Within weeks, I felt
- a transformation
- 2119
- 01:27:10,925 --> 01:27:13,328
- throughout my entire
- body and mind.
- 2120
- 01:27:13,328 --> 01:27:16,564
- Not only could I survive on a
- purely plant-based vegan diet,
- 2121
- 01:27:16,564 --> 01:27:19,100
- I could thrive, I felt amazing.
- 2122
- 01:27:19,100 --> 01:27:22,070
- I competed my first
- marathon in six years
- 2123
- 01:27:22,070 --> 01:27:23,304
- training half the amount
- 2124
- 01:27:23,304 --> 01:27:25,873
- and beat my personal
- record by 23 minutes.
- 2125
- 01:27:25,873 --> 01:27:29,143
- Less than a month later, I
- did my first full ironman.
- 2126
- 01:27:29,143 --> 01:27:30,545
- Although I could
- possibly get away
- 2127
- 01:27:30,545 --> 01:27:32,280
- with eating a little
- bit of meat and dairy
- 2128
- 01:27:32,280 --> 01:27:34,415
- without ill effects
- to my personal health,
- 2129
- 01:27:34,415 --> 01:27:36,351
- I could no longer willingly
- support an industry
- 2130
- 01:27:36,351 --> 01:27:39,020
- I knew was causing so much
- suffering to communities,
- 2131
- 01:27:39,020 --> 01:27:41,823
- families, and all
- life on the planet.
- 2132
- 01:27:41,823 --> 01:27:45,126
- A whole new world opened
- up, I felt whole again,
- 2133
- 01:27:45,126 --> 01:27:47,862
- connected to a greater
- sense of what true health is
- 2134
- 01:27:47,862 --> 01:27:50,298
- and where true health
- doesn't end with me
- 2135
- 01:27:50,298 --> 01:27:51,866
- but begins with us.
- 2136
- 01:27:53,501 --> 01:27:55,903
- - If people adopted
- a plant-based diet,
- 2137
- 01:27:55,903 --> 01:28:00,842
- the changes we would see
- in our individual health,
- 2138
- 01:28:00,842 --> 01:28:02,810
- in our national
- health situation,
- 2139
- 01:28:02,810 --> 01:28:06,047
- and in this physical
- environmental world we live in
- 2140
- 01:28:06,047 --> 01:28:08,316
- would be so profound.
- 2141
- 01:28:08,316 --> 01:28:11,019
- - I mean, today, you can say,
- 2142
- 01:28:11,019 --> 01:28:13,054
- "I'm not gonna eat
- that stuff anymore.
- 2143
- 01:28:13,054 --> 01:28:16,691
- "It's one thing that I
- can do myself personally
- 2144
- 01:28:16,691 --> 01:28:18,092
- "to make a difference."
- 2145
- 01:28:18,092 --> 01:28:19,627
- - It will give you a
- greater sense of well-being
- 2146
- 01:28:19,627 --> 01:28:22,030
- and happiness when
- you know that one,
- 2147
- 01:28:22,030 --> 01:28:23,698
- you're not destroying
- your health
- 2148
- 01:28:23,698 --> 01:28:24,932
- every time you sit down to eat,
- 2149
- 01:28:24,932 --> 01:28:26,668
- you're not promoting cruelty,
- 2150
- 01:28:26,668 --> 01:28:28,302
- and you're not
- damaging the Earth.
- 2151
- 01:28:28,302 --> 01:28:30,171
- - I don't want my gains
- to be at the detriment
- 2152
- 01:28:30,171 --> 01:28:31,706
- of the planet of other things
- 2153
- 01:28:31,706 --> 01:28:33,641
- and yet, I'm not
- weaker, I'm stronger.
- 2154
- 01:28:33,641 --> 01:28:34,909
- That's the beauty of it.
- 2155
- 01:28:34,909 --> 01:28:36,144
- When you all twist and
- when you make choices
- 2156
- 01:28:36,144 --> 01:28:37,912
- for the great good of
- others, it comes around,
- 2157
- 01:28:37,912 --> 01:28:39,781
- benefits as well,
- benefits us all.
- 2158
- 01:28:39,781 --> 01:28:42,150
- - Studies show that
- we cannot only survive
- 2159
- 01:28:42,150 --> 01:28:43,384
- but we can thrive.
- 2160
- 01:28:43,384 --> 01:28:45,987
- - I just feel this is
- a great way to live.
- 2161
- 01:28:45,987 --> 01:28:47,622
- Not harm the other beings
- 2162
- 01:28:47,622 --> 01:28:49,924
- when we can be
- healthy and happier.
- 2163
- 01:28:49,924 --> 01:28:52,860
- I love it, it's a great life.
- 2164
- 01:28:52,860 --> 01:28:56,097
- - I never thought that I could
- feel this good at this age
- 2165
- 01:28:56,097 --> 01:28:58,433
- and I just want everybody
- to feel this way.
- 2166
- 01:28:58,433 --> 01:29:01,202
- I feel like a 20-year-old,
- I'm almost 50.
- 2167
- 01:29:01,202 --> 01:29:04,839
- - Nothing tastes as good as
- health, it feels basically.
- 2168
- 01:29:04,839 --> 01:29:07,108
- - And so, the choices that
- we make every single day,
- 2169
- 01:29:07,108 --> 01:29:09,310
- day in and day out
- around our food
- 2170
- 01:29:09,310 --> 01:29:13,448
- has the capacity to bring us
- true health, optimal wellness,
- 2171
- 01:29:13,448 --> 01:29:16,150
- not just individually
- but collectively
- 2172
- 01:29:16,150 --> 01:29:18,586
- as species and for our planet.
- 2173
- 01:29:18,586 --> 01:29:20,922
- - We're not gonna live forever
- 2174
- 01:29:20,922 --> 01:29:23,491
- but while we are alive,
- we can live well.
- 2175
- 01:29:23,491 --> 01:29:26,027
- And, for me, as a doctor,
- that's what I wanna see.
- 2176
- 01:29:26,027 --> 01:29:29,697
- - Where there's a
- will, there is a way,
- 2177
- 01:29:29,697 --> 01:29:31,265
- and I believe that.
