We started on our search for a more healthy diet about a year ago. I have always eaten a fairly healthy diet but had gotten careless and after sitting more hours a day in front of a PC than I would like to admit, I ballooned up 40 pounds in a few months. Because I started eating easy fast foods, nibbling along with getting less exercise, I had little luck getting it off. We About 2 weeks ago I discovered this film. I was amazed at how much research was done. What huge study groups and how many years they lasted. And most of all was the undeniable evidence of improved health in many of the subjects. People who doctors had said "Go home and get ready to die" were healthy and thriving 20 years later with no evidence of the diseases that almost cost them their lives years earlier. We made some changes and can already tell the difference. No hunger pangs, no cravings, and effortless weight loss with just a few changes in what we were eating. Take the short time needed to watch the film. See what you think. ===== Documentary filmmaker Lee Fulkerson explores the possibility that so-called "diseases of affluence," such as heart disease, can be reversed by simply adjusting our diets to include less processed and animal-based foods. Back in the 1960s, Cornell University nutritional scientist Dr. T. Colin Campbell was working to find a way to feed the citizens of impoverished Third World nations when a trip to the Philippines forever changed the way he thought about food consumption. There, he discovered that the rates of liver cancer among affluent children who subsisted on diets rich in animal-based foods were notably higher than in children consuming plant-based diets. Meanwhile, surgeon Dr. Caldwell Esselstyn, head of the Breast Cancer Task Force at Cleveland Clinic, was also discovering that many of the diseases he was seeing in patients were practically nonexistent in areas of the world where people were primarily consuming plant foods. Several subsequent investigations by the researchers (who would not meet each other until the 1980s), including a groundbreaking study in China by Dr. Campbell, led them to the revelation that a whole-food, plant-based diet could prevent, and even reverse, such degenerative conditions as type 2 diabetes, heart disease, and some forms of cancer. In this film, Fulkerson examines Dr. Campbell's and Dr. Esselstyn's theories by following the two doctors' individual, yet very similar, story arcs, from their farm-based upbringings to their astounding discoveries. The film also records the experiences of a group of patients suffering from chronic maladies as they participate in an experiment in which their diets are substantially altered and wholesome, plant-based food is, essentially, used as medicine.Read full review
