It's no secret that we are living in an epidemic of modern disease caused largely by the foods we consume. Heart disease, diabetes, and cancer are rampant - yet so much of this disease could be prevented simply by eating better... So why don't we?
There are many answers to this question, but one that we may not often consider is that "Big Food" actually doesn't want us to! In fact, many processed foods are actually created to be addictive. (To learn more about this insidious practice, as well as how food companies actually market their products specifically to your children to get them addicted early in life - as well as to lower-income minority communities, where obesity and disease are especially high, check out the eye-opening book, Food Fix, by Dr. Mark Hyman.)
Besides eating addictive foods packed with sugar and artificial ingredients, we are also eating many ingredients that are actually banned in other countries due to their health effects.
In this episode of The Doctor’s Farmacy, Dr. Mark Hyman chats with author and food activist, Vani Hari, about her experiences with Big Food, including how these massive and powerful food companies manipulate nutrition research to their benefit, hide the ill effects of their food, and make us sick without our knowledge. She also talks about ways to take back control of your health by making smart choices in the kitchen, and educating yourself about what eating healthy really means.
This is such an inspiring interview - you owe it to yourself and your health to watch this now!
