There's a new documentary that's gaining a lot of traction and has a lot of people talking. It's called What The Health. It's a good piece of film making, and it touches on a lot of really important topics like food, the pharmaceutical industry, politics and the large farming industry. But, are the claims made in this movie true? Since it would be extremely challenging to try to cover all aspects of the film in a thirty-minute podcast, we focus our attention specifically on the food argument. There are some good sound arguments made in this movie, and there is a lot of compelling information to consider. On the other side, there are some down right lies passed as unquestionable truths. The goal of the Life By Design Podcast today, is to give you our breakdown and some counter arguments to stimulate your brain and get you thinking. Let us know what you think. What we covered: Nutritional requirements vs. strategies. It's important to know what your body needs and give it that. The cause of diabetes and how not be fooled into thinking it's anything but this. The best way to change is not the vegan version of it...it's this. How the pesky straw man keeps coming up...we really need to kill that guy for good. Know your research - it's very easy to be tricked on the validity of 'science' if you don't understand how the study was conducted and what the flaws are of that particular type of study. Our recommendations for nutrition.
