forks over knives

Listen to the story of a cardiac surgeon who decided he would rather heal people of heart disease by their “forks” rather than cutting them open with his “knive”. Dr. Caldwell Esselstyn along with Dr. T. Colin Campbell, talk about the China-Cornell-Oxford Project, a 20-year study published in 2005. In the study, health was compared in rural areas of China where people ate like their ancestors verses areas where people ate fast food, etc. The results were astounding. Heart disease and cancers went up nearly 400% in some areas. The feature film Forks Over Knives shows how a diet high in animal-based and highly processed foods makes people sick and overweight. But many of these sicknesses can be prevented, halted, and often reversed by eating a whole-food, plant-based diet. The film can be viewed on utube. www.youtube.com/user/ForksOverKnivesk This film will inspire you to eat a vegan diet as much as you can!
