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.

You can watch TV or read a magazine and it wont take you very long to come across a drug advertisement. When you hear about health care reform it is always about treatment. Why do you never hear about prevention? Why? Because there is no money for big corporations with prevention. If I was a CEO I couldn't make money if I told you to eat right and exercise. If I were to do that how could I sell you my treatments? Preventable diseases have now surpassed infectious disease as the top killers on the planet. The big three heart disease, cancer, and diabetes combined kill 2.5 million people every year in America alone. The reason? We are all heavily marketed to believe that modern medicine will give us a pill or treatment instead of taking responsibility for our health. The man in the white coat will make it better. We have been dis-empowered to take control of our health with food and drug company rhetoric. The attitude that "they know whats best for us" has to stop.
Good Nutrition is a giant step towards disease prevention. Most doctors don't get more than a semester of nutrition education. Why is that? The medical industrial complex has a marketing machine in place to sell you their best products, in this case it's surgery and drugs.Our greatest weapon against this rising epidemic is education, and I dont mean public education or government education. I mean you educating yourself about your health.

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.
