This is interesting. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5VWi6dXCT7I Neal Barnard MD discusses the science behind food additions. Willpower is not to blame: chocolate, cheese, meat, and sugar release opiate-like substances. Dr. Barnard also discusses how industry, aided by government, exploits these natural cravings, pushing us to eat more and more unhealthy foods. A plant-based diet is the solution to avoid many of these problems. Neal Barnard is the founder of the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine (PCRM). This is Dr. Barnard's COMPLETE presentation from the VegSource HEALTHY LIFESTYLE EXPO 2003. IP: Logged | |
