You are what you eat - Watch "Food Matters"

Two nights ago a new film was featured on DocumentaryHeaven.com, which is a free video-watching site. "Food Matters" told the amazing story of how most of the food we eat is actually five days old, bought at the supermarket, food that is grown from impoverished soil, so that what we end up eating lacks the barest of nutrients to maintain the health of our many body systems.

Add to that the propensity of the modern person to eat processed foods, refined foods, foods filled with chemical additives, not to mention drinking gallons of nutritionally deficient sugar water called soda, and you've got the formula for an obese and unhealthy society.

Not to worry, tho. The worldwide trillion-dollar drug industry exists to pump us with toxic chemicals that, for better or worse, will keep us alive.

And yet, say the film's producers - a young man and woman who have thoroughly researched the subject - our bodies have natural defenses - our immune systems - that will cure ourselves of all diseases,including heart disease, cancer, and even depression - if we know where to look.

Don't look in medical schools to teach new doctors about how food and, yes, vitamin supplements, can restore and preserve health. Medical schools - as well as doctor's offices - are funded by the drug industry.

Well, you might say, if this 'natural approach' is so good for you, why don't we hear about it on television, or in magazines.

Can it be true, as the filmmakers say, that not everything of importance is televised?

I invite you to openmindedly watch this movie with me and decide for yourself if, for example, you might wanna try niacin for depression - or to reduce cholesterol levels - or, eat a 51% raw fruit-vegetable diet to maximize absorption of nutrients in your body - and investigate the importance of massive doses of vitamin C as a natural anti-cancer agent.

  1. Oh boy do I agree with all of this. I truly believe in good nutrition and lament the horrible diet most Americans have (and some of them are my kids who weren't raised that way) but I admit I get lazy at times and am not as careful as I was in younger days about my nutrition.
