craddock time for a look at the main stories we're covering for you this hour they are not. even leaders a pick are in brussels on how to fund continuing pain outs as a debt epidemic gripping italy and spain further strains of europe on its last legs . and international media mogul and top politician come on the huge public scrutiny raising doubts they'll be able to savant the fallout to the phone hacking scandal and the store public trust. the last remaining un and dodgy walk rhyme

suspect or a budget is awaiting extradition to the hague often in captive serbia great hopes the move will bring the country closer to membership. now across the world another downing number of people die from heart disease every year all special reports coming up next traces the connection between the statistics and what's in the food we eat. everybody eats food and we all have our favorites here in america is abundant take it for granted. about the food you eat what do you know about it where does it come

from how is it made. me eating before corporations were relentless the marketing to us. this film is not just about. it's about the changes in our food supply the changes in the quality of our food. as a nurse i work in hospitals and one thing remains the same throughout the mall there are too many sick people. it seems all diseases are on the rise. how many people do you know with heart problems diabetes. the hospitals are full and there's not enough nurses to properly take care of them all. the quality of our food is decreasing and the number sick people are increasing there has to be a connection. a majority of americans are overweight and at the same time now nourished as a because refined grains are excess sugar intake what about chemical food additives

. they play on our health. thousand camels are allowed to be used in our food supply. sixty. partially hydrogenated oil is. this is the question my producer asked me one day while they were in the grocery store i didn't know so he began telling me that it was bad for the heart and how he didn't go he said it's the most processed foods so i started reading labels. and found in hundreds of products. when i realized it was in food that i was feeding my toddler i did my research. i found out it had devastating consequences to our health especially the heart which is the focus of my nursing career as a father a husband a nurse and a filmmaker the next logical step was to make this movie.

what is hydrogenated oil. price of oil. i don't know. that's a good question my judging they did all is something you put in your car to make a run smooth an oil that's healthier for you and other oils they've heard of. i don't go and oil that maybe an extra. molecule in it i don't know what it is i get no clue nor do i think it's really good for. the good while hydrogenated oil

actually his loyal has humanly altered oil. and the fact that bill to manufacture in the wage we're talking about something flung through it looks like it's a war of our minds like something you must. remember killed the bacteria clark. comes up with the. trick make the trip. in oil that is if you want to get a lot of packages and food must be preserved suspect discussing something from the food. so what is a hydrogenated oil i drive unaided or oil is a manmade fact a trans fat you see that is just a big molecule that's made mostly of carbon carbon atoms are bonded together like a chain there hydrogen atoms attached along the chain and if the carbon chain is

completely saturated with hydrogen that's a saturated fat and if there are some missing spots. that's a non saturated fat get it ok so what is transferred it transmits in as a. bizarre zero type. unsaturated fatty acid where the double bond is present for the hydrogen atoms that are attached to the carbon chain are on the opposite side of the carbon chain. just about all of the polyunsaturated fats in nature have the carbon atoms on the same side it's sis but with industrial processing. vegetable oils the bonds get rearranged so the hydrogen atoms are on opposite sides of a chain you might say well who cares where the hydrogen atoms are. but it turns out that we have evolved to deal with fatty acids that have

a hydrogen side of the same side so this we have not evolved to deal with these new kinds of fatty acids that are produced through industrial processing or vegetable oils and this is actually wreaking havoc with our health. let's take a look at how these transnational made. the process of hydrogenation structure the plant that is harvested and then transported to a processing facility here chemical solvents are used to extract oil from the plant . the oil was then bleached deodorized and eventually pressurized in a tank that is heated to over four hundred degrees fahrenheit fee's extreme temperatures allow a chemical reaction to occur when heavy metals are added as a catalyst for the most commonly used aluminum for their gold and cobalt none of which should be consumed by humans if finally hydrogen gases rise to the bondage of

the oil the result is two types of hydrogenated oils only and partially partially hydrogenated oils in the lungs preferred by the food restaurant industry but in either case the molecular structure of the oil has been changed and it is no longer in its natural state. problem here is that you really truly have no hydrogenation no partial hydrogenation and you need to have things that are not altered. the. low fat diet that has been pushed for many years. by various authorities in the fearsome community has really not serve the public well the reason for that is that. some fats are essential some fats are ok and some are really bad but trans fat it goes into the really bad category to

lump all fats together and say fat is bad and we should reduce fat to improve our health is misguided and not supported by scientific evidence it's it's. a simple case and that is simply wrong. yes it's in the diet are really critical for almost every step of human biology in the past there was often thought that fat was just fuel that we burned it and got energy that way but we've come to realize after decades of research that the specific fatty acids which make up fat could play a critical biological role some fatty acids are absolutely essential for the structure for making a membrane around every single cell in our body and other fatty acids play a critical role as is the backbone of hormones and other molecules that influence

our heart rhythm and our likelihood of clotting our response to information and many many other really essential biological pathways so this idea that is bad is a bad idea. kind of food that we're eating now which is heavily processed is a very recent phenomenon if you look over the course of human history it's clear that we all have to live on a different kind of diet when we're consuming know some of the things that we were eating were the kinds of things if not take some people wouldn't like to get their hands on because they're not really what we consider foods. our methods of hunting

and gathering became more complex and efficient as time progressed. eventually we learned to cultivate the land and agriculture began. it's been ten thousand years since he has planted the first crops we found the agricultural process to be more productive than hunting and gathering. we peas and flax provided the energy we needed to domesticate animals and the rest is farming history. the next advancement in food technology was irrigation this advancement allow humans to diversify the location and type of crops they planted. it didn't take long for our small farms to become plantations complex irrigation techniques allowed for an overabundance of food production and most developed countries. which leads us to our first food additive so. the next revolution in food wasn't just realise ation

more cheap ineffective preservatives were needed to prevent spoilage so humans were introduced to modern food processing and began consuming man made chemical concoctions. the first known artificial refrigeration was invented in the mid eighty's hundreds the creation of easily accessible cold storage allowed people to buy more food than they needed. once we had cold storage we still needed a way to keep our food on the shelves longer. e.c. keyser was a chemist who perfected the hydrogenation of current seed oil in the early one thousand hundreds because oil wasn't elected as you would imagine it was a block and he brought it to procter and gamble in cincinnati ohio he showed up with this block and he placed it on the desk of cooper proctor proctor said what's this cotton seed oil prices are replied. procter and gamble quickly hired kaiser and by nine eleven the company had perfected the production of what would come to

be known as chris cuomo. first procter and gamble had to give it away it was marketed as a scientific discovery that was affect every kitchen in america and it dead the american kitchen would soon become a lot of tori and mama's little baby learned to love shortening bread. i like to call them the christo kids and what i mean by that is that crisscross was introduced in one thousand eleventh in the early one nine hundred forty s. the christo kids would have been about twenty years old they would have been having children at that point and if you project that into twenty to fifty you know fifty years that puts it in the night hundred sixty nine hundred seventy if you look at the stats that are out there you start seeing a dramatic increase in all of these diseases and it's why you say it doesn't tell you genius to figure out that it's related to the adulterated chemicals the hydrogenated oils and the toxins in the additives that are put in the food supply.

when one war two ended in one thousand nine hundred five a new processed food revolution began the depression was over the troops were home and back to their domestic jobs the economy was finally stable and everyone was happy. these crime conditions like to a population explosion creating a new generation of consumers and a brand new packaged food market. shelf life uniformity consistency and convenience were the new standard and market forces responded appropriately. in one thousand fifty six congress passed legislation to build an interstate highway system which by linking the forty eight states with state of the art roadways for ever changed how americans would shop could view and eat. manufactured hydrogenated oils which gave long life to margarine and vegetable sort of like christgau could be used to preserve the processed packaged foods being trucked across the country.

unlike butter the manufactured hydrogenated vegetable that ensure that a product that started out new jersey would still be fresh when it got to washington state and for months and years to come. today we can travel from new york time i am from austin to minneapolis and count on a familiar logo something don. it's a burger king taco bell and chiles. are travelers hungry as a place to eat in san francisco with the same accustomed menu as a place in st louis or charleston toronto over. the last hundred years there have been very major changes in our food supply and true of the most important one of them being the large amounts of refined carbohydrates and sugar in our food supply and secondly a partial hydrogenation of liquid vegetable oils in our metabolic machinery is just not capable of dealing with those severe changes that ever occurred in our food supply and then of course you add on more activity levels that have also changed

a lot in the last hundred years and we really have a perfect storm of metabolic disaster. in order to better understand heart disease we went to the mount sinai hospital in new york city to meet with the world's leading cardiologist valentyn brewster was bend the past president of both the american heart association and the world heart federation. is it became your problem very well what time is like the world is fighting with you and one of the leading causes of heart disease is poor dietary choices it's really called the world from such unfortunately even in developing countries and in poor countries these are all being believed properly why is this then women consuming higher levels of command even just a couple of grams a day had substantially higher their sweethearts fifteen twenty thirty forty percent higher depending on how much and who we are and we did find that even quite

small amounts of transcribed in the food supplies such as one or two percent of the calories for the his transfer that occurred increased heart disease risk by twenty and even up to the part of a percent of the harvard school of public health estimates the transfer that has been causing. upwards of fifty thousand premature deaths from heart attacks every year so this is very toxic chemical it doesn't belong in the food supply there are two hundred fatal heart attacks last year in both the city of clean. homicides that one hundred thirty two homicides the people don't focus more on the on the heart attacks because they're not violent as the homicides but the reality of death is is a death and we killing ourselves and we killing ourselves probably did you not only graves with our teeth. which is the number one cause of death in the world

look only in developed countries but now even more of. these heart attacks and if so there's no equal to the fictious diseases ha the most lead yet into a pool shoot so we have really been thrown over a problem of significance to be. we've learned that transplants have many adverse metabolic or cracks in the first the transcripts elevate the bad cholesterol there and as the request drop. the transcripts increase inflammatory factors throughout the body meaning it really creates a general says general condition of information every organ of the body you know plus all is a part of the issue or what caused this cluster all to increase its inflammation ok so there are two types of cholesterol and here's what they look like. h.d.l. cholesterol is like silly putty and is represented by the blue spheres. alice like

sticky jello globs and are seen here in yellow and blue is what we call cholesterol it's very important that he. takes the excess of what little they are it's clearly enough to sift clearly. the bad cholesterol l.d.l. cholesterol is the one that gets the question here is the deal with you now cluster all the same molecules it's the company that makes it good or bad it's the thirty carbon. valuable compound. good or bad and then we shouldn't attribute morrow after abuse to an inert compound i don't think but if the in l.d.l. molecule. it's been reported that there's a higher risk of heart. now remember cholesterol is a carrier record dumptruck l.d.l. carry stuff to where it is needed and carry stuff away now here's the tricky part

trans fats cause inflammation they increase l.d.l. and inhibit h.d.l. production the inflammation keeps driving the l.d.l. levels higher and higher and there isn't enough h.d.l. to remove the excess and arteries get clogged and no wonder food has this catastrophic effect on individual bases you have to make a position where the health. you are not even not society will make it for you and they will say you know you want it such you will not have. to experience it. in the united for example. so i think we're going to get there really is really impossible it will be impossible to support the system so we are facing a situation which is an economic one if we can only or she will do for you have to make a decision which is a personal one and that is i am interested in. dr mr says the treatment

of heart disease are too expensive let's take a closer look at what a heart attack really cost. bob he says. first charge will be for the ambulance. probably sent to him to use for chest pain so the cost are touting up quickly. bob's lucky they sent a paramedic this time. here comes some oxygen and some drugs. now it's off to the hospital so stop in for your ambulance ride. more money. first we need an i.v. and some i.v. fluids. and more drugs. ok we're here now comes the scary part. but has no idea what happens next.

that i want. my kids to go past registration as the waiting room and the regular behind curtain number twelve . here's bob's emergency nurse she makes pretty good morning and a visit from the e.r. doc is hard that's not changed. daughter still having some chest discomfort to ship him off to the cardiac unit. here will have a private room a cardiac nurse more drugs and a console from a cardiologist dr wayne it's very nice if ever i'm a cardiologist your doctors ask me to come talk to you this is where things start getting real expensive but fortunately it's extending a lot but we're going to do we're going to put tests to see if you're having a heart attack and do it at a party green which is not your heart. and do

a stress test of the stress this is all abnormal if you want your car to tatters each of. you have any questions i know it's a lot to get. today. now if the cardio got this positive and it's off to surgery which is usually stands to the corner a artery for a complete bypass of that artery total cost for all of this. since one thousand twenty heart disease has been the number one killer of americans let's put this into perspective forty two thousand americans die each year are accidents only a thousand. seven hundred thousand people. and thirty two thousand will kill themself. while some of us are killing each other and others are killing themselves

one hundred seventeen thousand died annually and careless accidents we have sent american troops into war many times with us. in all the wars since korea and there's been about one hundred thousand tragic casualties of war cancer in all its forms kills five hundred sixty thousand of us a year heart disease is even more devastating it kills over eight hundred seventy thousand americans every year we are at war with heart disease and we are losing friends point out. has an adverse effect on informal systems that is it makes the body. have to work harder to metabolize glucose and sugars and this is the first step on the road to diabetes so most people. who are overweight have some degree of insulin resistance. if you have a lot of trans fat in the diet that makes sense to worse and brings you closer to

diabetes and. we're in the midst of a diabetes epidemic along with our we sit here and. trance is making it worse. twenty four million americans suffer from diabetes and every baby born after the year two thousand has a one in three chance of contracting this disease which is the leading cause of kidney failure and adult blindness. and remember every soda donut candy and slice of white bread because you one step closer to contracting diabetes a huge proportion of diabetes is directly attributable to overweight and obesity. or our whole population got down to a. twenty two or twenty one we get rid of three quarters of the guidance. today in the united states nearly two thirds of the population is overweight almost

one in three americans is obese. this is not just a few people have been extreme civil war where the large majority of americans are overweight or a level that's having an adverse affects on their risk of diabetes and heart disease but about physical education we don't believe we're supposed to be. for ten years we're supposed to be thinking it's good for total it's a. state law. got to get rid of junk food marketing to kids totally inappropriate totally unfair to kids to tempt them to eat foods that are bad for their health cartoon characters are hawking sugar and junk food right past our wallets and into the brains of our children. advertising to children is wrong but that's not the only reason our children are getting fat and there are factors operating at many levels that are pushing us as individuals toward or away resolder all relating to their activity in epidemiologic studies individuals who consume high amounts of

trans fat from hydrogenated oils have the substantially higher risk of heart attack sudden death from cardiovascular in this we also have an increased risk of diabetes and in animal studies that actually has been shown to increase when they had the same amount of calories and diet with either trans fat or for helping oils the monkeys who were on the trans fat diet actually pain more weight specifically increasing abdominal will be sitting just like. i'm going to bring. this country every one of these another year. but the whole country's got to move next so why are you all right. with. it putting six. sugaring brits flour will be hydrogenated vegetable oil ali still beats sixty. five.
