In the documentary film "inGREEDients", registered nurse and filmmaker, David Burton, discovers an alarming connection between diet and illness while investigating trans fats and hydrogenated oils in America's food supply. Do you know what a partially hydrogenated oil is? What does zero grams of trans fat per serving really mean? Find out in this compelling documentary that takes the audience on a time-line journey through the history of human food consumption from prehistoric times to the present, when heart disease is the number one killer of humans and despite recent changes in food labeling laws, pounds of trans fats are consumed everyday. This documentary features interviews with medical doctors, natural health doctors, scientists and researchers, politicians, and the lawyer that successfully stood up against two corporate food giants whose products are household names across America.

A snack-food worker went on a shooting rampage earlier today after receiving a pink slip from his employer. Several people were injured and 2 are in critical condition. Unfortunately, nobody noticed and nothing was done to stop him. He is currently looking for work with a new food conglomerate. His employer had this to say "He was a great employee, served us well for years - but we couldn't afford him anymore. If he took a pay cut we'd have him back!"
This is a clip from a friends documentary entitled: inGREEDients

A new food documentary, InGREEDients was among the films previewed by attendees of Wise Traditions 2009 in Chicago last month. I got a chance to interview one of the producers, David Burton, and here is the scoop.
Producer of the film David Burton is a professional registered nurse. Film making is his hobby, he always loves shooting family videos, which led to making backyard films at his home in Connecticut. Local businesses began to hire him and his friends to make short film documentaries for their marketing and promotion campaigns. At this point, he realized, he could make a go of a film making career.
A mutual friend introduced him to J. Wenzel on a hiking trip on the Appalachian Trail. A successful sales management professional, J. dreamed of being a film producer someday. When he heard of David’s success as a self taught filmmaker, he realized that even without formal training, he too, could make movies.
David and his wife moved to FL, yet he and J. were still batting around ideas of what sort of film they could do together. David had noticed on their hiking adventure, that J. seemed to be avoiding hydrogenated oils. On their trip J. had complained of having brought a trailmix bar that had hydrogenated oil in it. He refused to eat it. And, when J. came to visit him in Florida, they went to a restaurant and David noticed Jay was grilling a waitress about what kind of oil they used in the kitchen. David, said, “What is it with you and the hydrogenated oil?”
Then it hit him. “We should do a movie about this, you are obviously passionate about it,” David exclaimed. They left the restaurant and started researching hydrogenated oils on the internet. They found a website, dldewey .com with tons of information about the dangers of trans fats or partially hydrogenated oils.
Spurred on by what they discovered, and even though J. lived in Connecticut and David lived in Florida, they plunged headlong into the film project. David said he knew the long distance partnership would work, because he admired J.’s work ethic.
The Guys Dig Up Over a Dozen Dirty Ingredients
As they dug for more information, they started finding out about all kinds of other terrible ingredients, they became alarmed about other chemical additives such as MSG, corn syrup, aspartame, bleached wheat flour. They also unearthed a hidden form of trans fats, by doing a patent search they found out that manufacturers of mono and diglycerides, start with partially hydrogenated oil.

Burger King Corp. said Thursday it is now cooking with trans fat free cooking oils at all of its restaurants nationwide.
The No. 2 hamburger chain also said all of its menu ingredients, including its baked goods, will contain zero grams of trans fat by Nov. 1.
Trans fats are partially hydrogenated vegetable oil. They can raise bad cholesterol and lower healthy cholesterol, increasing the risk of heart disease, according to doctors. Trans fats are used to increase the shelf life of foods and preserve flavor.
Many of Burger King's restaurants have already been using trans fat free oil for months. Burger King first announced in July 2007 that it would switch to trans fat free oil in all of its U.S. restaurants by the end of 2008.
"Our suppliers were able to manufacture enough quantity to get us there sooner than our committed deadline," said Chief Executive and Chairman John Chidsey.
Chidsey did not offer any details about the new oils being used at Burger King restaurants, saying the information is "proprietary."
He said customers who have tried the trans fat free foods either do not notice any difference in taste or told the company they tasted better. Eliminating trans fat can change the flavor of foods — a side effect that has made extensive testing of new oils a necessity.
Burger King has been criticized for not switching all of its U.S. restaurants to trans-fat free oil as fast as its competitors.
