Why You Can't Trust Nutrition Science & Health Claims

The information in this video comes from Michael Pollan's book, "In Defense of Food". Over the last 2 centuries, humans have studied nutrition, but has all that science made us healthier as a species?

I am from India my Grand father was a doctor this video reminded me of him he used to say
- Eat whole foods as much as possible
- Stop buying those packaged food
- Cook your own food
- Stop eating those "fast foods" ie KFC, McDonald, Domino's, Pizza Hut etc.
- Always buy food from your local farmers market
- Now a days the real foods cost way too much than it should be and those unhealthy foods are cheaper than ever
- Exercise daily

We aren't getting more intelligent - our knowledge is growing, that's all. We store knowledge.
I would argue that humans are getting less intelligent, but learning more earlier in life.

I’m surprised this channel hasn’t been deleted by YouTube yet.

A patient cured is a customer lost. It's all about the profit no matter the real cost.

I remember reading a book when I was a child about missionaries going to the Inuit people in the 19th century. They recorded how the Inuit only ate whale and seal meat and blubber all winter and in the spring looked for berries, found bird eggs, and hunted caribou. I remember feeling so sorry for them thinking they would probably die from that diet. Turns out, they were eating healthy.

the sad thing is that even if people had a choice to eat healthier, they wouldn't do it because they like the food that they eat now

eat food like its medicine or one day you will eat medicine like its food!

In Belgium olives get a red D as nutriscore. Industrial lasagne get a big green A. We are being fooled every where. Including corona.

Back in the '70s I fell for the "fat is bad" nonsense...until my hair started falling out.
The best thing that happened to me: skipped the egg scare, butter scare, various meat scares, whole milk scare and others that I do not remember!

It's so sad that the health of our entire society has been destroyed by greed. So much suffering just so a handful of people can have more money than they need.

If everyone had to cook their own food, they probably wouldn't eat as much as they do. When we were young my grandad always insisted food was made daily, no leftovers, enough for each day. The first time I ate from a restaurant was when I was 16 during college days and it was all downhill from there on, until I got wise. Opt for "no label food". Great video!

This should be played in schools. The whole system is so broken idk if it can be fixed without some type of drastic cataclysm forcing the world to realign itself with the mother, earth

The crazy thing is that there's some place where it's illegal to grow your own food. Again, it's the big companies that got us by the balls.

My personal gripe at the moment are all the ‘protein bars’ that have hit the shelves in the uk. Few are good. Many have high protein for a nut bar but if you read the back of the pack are higher in sugar and carbs than the protein!! They don’t advertise it as a ‘sugar carb bar’ though !

During my first chemo treatment, I was shocked when volunteers brought in a basket of cookies, candy bars and chips and passed them àround to the patients.
