obsess over paying the bills keeping everyone fed is their main priority and here's the problem they come home from a long day of work and exhausted they fix you dinner what is it processed food why because it's cheap. and they've been convinced it's good for you. and they need a babysitter who becomes your new best friend the television and as you watch the t.v. you see all those food commercials with slogans like good for the little keyboard elves were a constant challenge how great your products are. one day you wake up and you're twenty five what happened to all those years by now you've been thoroughly branded by the food and chemical companies. all of your daily food purchases are made in accordance with how you feel about the products you consume third sample you on the heinz ketchup and nothing else you drink your favorite software company chili

everyone has a favorite snack food candy or restaurant. you have come to believe that betty crocker and by our state and friendly. our internal dialogue rationalizes these products can be dangerous otherwise some government agency would put a stop to it they care about the right wrong this perception is carefully crafted by all the parties that stand to make a financial gain. for these companies you are dead shit a projection a demographic a lead a potential purchaser or revenue generator there's nothing more to the story don't let tony the tiger or two can sam for you. i received a phone call from stephen joseph he told me about a high school teacher lori harris meant. she was teaching me advanced health class at a specialty high school in new york city for students would you agree search about

the use of trans fats in our food so we met up with them to talk about the project . how many people found transplants in foods that they thought were healthy. really. keep your hands out i mean i like what you said over here you had a great comment obviously of these rules are good for you i mean nobody goes and it's a twinkie or big mac thinking it's healthy for them you know it's not good but this is amazing because this is the thing that really got me was that foods that i thought were healthy foods that i was feeding my two and a half year old daughter at home and that's what really got me upset. hopewell cars quicker oh no cars powerlessness has made the policy as bad hydrogenated on its own always mounts and stops us for us i think. and also the hydrogenated oils and heavy gram which is their right that's the worst of her. i think let me

tell you there's always i want to be reasoning and i looked in the back and said there were ten thousand i see that struck me the most thing reading it just the whole i was praying for spots on all those parts of the strangers would think i was on their way or yes you would be looking out for the school. or labeling law it is really confusing it's been an important step forward to record the transcripts and be on the food label so i gives consumers some awareness about the amount of transfer out there but it's very confusing because it's legal to or perhaps up to half a gram of transcribed you know product and still have a zero there in the wine for transfer outs. everybody knows with zero means except in washington zero does not mean zero zero means up to half a grain when we're talking about trans fat from hydrogenated vegetable oil may be

optimal c. from the mouth is zero. they only have to label half a gram per serving so you still need to read your ingredient label cause i copy all of this and found that the test that comes to. my knowledge that it's. all off the boil there you can't see transferred to hospital transferred any major scientific equipment to determine whether or not this translates into probably what you're supposed to do take the equipment to a restaurant with you and test out the food see this code transfer and if it's zero doesn't mean zero then food companies might be lying when they put zero grams of trans person serving on the front of packages. i had to spend a weekend at the university of maryland bio chemistry lab to find out. i have been presented with these five samples of foods on nicer revel films and they've asked

me to analyze them for transpired e.-s. the content of the first one is a promise margarine and it has zero trans on the label and the new christo has zero trans on the label. so will take a sample and homogenize it. and that spot will be analyzed with a trans fatty acids. in. them to. keep. them.

from. every food sample that we had. just it was labeled us and zero grams of trans fat per cent of it unfortunately all of these foods contain the deadly grade in the most surprising pastrami sparging which contains zero point four six grams of trans fat person. and so if the savage consumer looks at the ingredients they see partially hydrogenated vegetable oil in a note that means transfer fats so how can it say zero and still been containing partially hydrogenated vegetable confusion is not a good thing i think we really probably should not be allowing zero there unless there is no partially hydrogenated vegetable oil in the product after i started really reading labels i noticed some truly disturbing processed foods. to sort of bars are designed specifically for people with diabetes. or will in the near

stamper you know those two harvard researchers just told us how transparent them hydrogenated oils accelerate insulin resistance and lead to diabetes. why would any companies partially hydrogenated oil in a product made exclusively for diabetics. what about slim in fact if trans fats are causing obesity why on earth are they putting these oils in the diet products that is crazy. just really got me thinking about the foods i think feeding my daughter. my food companies using other dangerous thing credence in these foods . during my research on the effects of trans fat i was surprised by some other corporate ingredients that i found bleached wheat flour this is the first ingredient on so many product labels. during processing the wheat is sprayed with chlorine gas the same thing as your household bleach but in gas for

. that leech bottle in your laundry room has a warning against consumption written on it for a reason. why are they putting this in our food. why are we eating foods that are manufactured like this. by processing wheat flour with bleach these corporations are doing more than adding a potentially poisonous ingredient here stripping the wheat of its nutritional value and creating a need for enriched vitamins. when you think of vitamins what do you visualize is that edge of an orange pill form. if so you have the wrong image. right only be right let me be. the abridged my defense they put cereals breads and other food products do not come from natural sources like an orange. to be vitamins and bridge flowers come from chemicals petroleum bacteria and rocks.

model invite less rights of the last part of the transplant puzzle. fires use replace expensive big critters like butter cream and eggs because they have a longer shelf life if you bake your cakes at home you know if you do whatever make your own hollandaise sauce or so you know you don't have gone so it's all part of the. i don't have time to cope with me something quick there are thousands of them on the market the only way to examine the ingredients of modern ones like bus rides by reading the patent application on file at the us patent office. the documents many contain partially hydrogenated oils as the base for their formula since there is less than half a gram per serving and companies using these agreements have no legal obligation to tell you that trans fats are present. the only way to eliminate this poison from your diet is to read the label on everything you eat if we stop buying it they will

stop making it. the food that you can come from somewhere just like this. and the stuff that doesn't come from here well you get it from a place like this or even some place like this or in a place like this american more than any other country but what you're here. for. french fries. pop tarts french fries burgers. fried chicken. everybody. in the trans fat epidemic. in the restaurant industry has skyrocketed from one nine hundred fifty president back then restaurant sales were about fourteen billion dollars

a year in two thousand eight. hundred fifty dollars that's five hundred fifty thousand million dollars and comprehensible number the fast food industry claimed over one hundred seventy billion dollars and mcdonald's the undisputed champion of fast food captured billion dollars in one year. the food industry uses the cheapest ingredients and food to sell their goods an affordable price to the consumer this cost cutting results in the most gradients and processes to deliver the cheapest possible product. in the meantime as we keep eating these adulterated they're waging war on the body at a molecular level speeding the disease process and thrusting the consumer into a expensive irresponsible health care system.

most people think the f.d.a. will protect them from these harmful practices nothing could be farther from the truth right now the f.d.a. is doing more to protect the nation factures. now that you have entered the health care machine you get to deal with all the paperwork and red tape that come with any insurance company but now it applies to your health. then comes the emotional burden of being processed and given the

standard package solution usually drugs. more drugs leaves more money and after you spend your money on treatment all you can afford is more cheap food. it can be pretty tricky for consumers to navigate the treacherous waters of the choices and honestly transplants are just the tip of the iceberg. did you know that the f.d.a. allows over fourteen thousand chemical food additives in our food supply and nobody nobody is testing the interactions of these chemicals inside your body. not the people making them not the people selling them and not even the people regulating them. there's a lot of lawyers in washington d.c.

some good some bad benignant as one of the good ones for eighteen years he was a researcher and best a gator and legal counsel at the food and drug administration he explained how the regulatory agency does its job. i'm case primary mission is to protect the public. their job is to to both try to prevent unsafe products from getting on the market that could affect consumers their jurisdiction is actually quite broad they have jurisdiction over and over foods and pharmaceuticals and their theory has a lot of responsibility and a lie jurisdiction so it's easy to get confused about how they actually operate what does the f.d.a. do. you have to tell me oh my god they're presumably. i would assume it's to make sure they see for human consumption so i work for the f.d.a. to. protect states. and

we've regulated by the third of a nation's economy a third of the nation's economy they're trying their best but i think we're overwhelmed by all of the products that are out there right down the street scary troubles keeping out of the public is losing confidence in the food supply the safety of the food supply and death good news for the food industry if people don't trust the products are safe enough to protect. the f.d.a. doesn't have the authority to recall foods that relies on food in a sense the industry is a state is kind of regulating itself and has been for probably twenty years and so you end up with the agency trying to balance the interests and this is where i think they won the political conflict because many people would argue that they're

the only injuries they should be balancing is that is the risk for the consumer that's what they should be focusing on for many years the food and drug administration has considered partially hydrogenated oil to be generally recognized to say and for many years who wants but in the last twenty years it's been generally recognized as dangerous and the f.d.a. is derelict in not getting it out of our food supply. we tried to set up an interview with someone from the f.d.a. and we did stop by the headquarters for a visit staying outside at. night and they only have one question. what. present one third of our economy license to put in drug administration doing a thorough job of regulating it all thanks to some really think you're ready people here. we came we saw. and they conquered

i know a lot of people who are having difficult times reaching the agency and some of them are in the press and some of them are consumers and some of them are consumer advocates and some of them are attorneys trying to represent their clients but there's a lot of work here for the f.d.a. to do to protect the public's health it doesn't have the funding to do it and all too often it doesn't have the will to do it either thanks to wealthy corporations and a dysfunctional government the f.d.a. lacks the funding and staff to protect the food supply that has been left to private citizens i'm a former lobbyist i used to lobby in washington d.c. i love it if you testified in congress i never bothered trying to get any more should be seen because i knew immediately i was going to be coming up against congressmen and senators who were being. on the receiving end of campaign contributions from food companies and the part of it is the media we have so much media hype today i call it media nutrition media supplements and individuals today are really being told by magazines and newspapers what's healthy and what's not

helping to them and here's something very significant you are being told what the food manufacturers want you to hear. all unclever all right first of. all the parents of you very much a unanimous vote by the new york city board of health means by july two thousand and eight served at new york city's twenty six thousand restaurants three trans fat . is up to the state lawn to assure of the food supply is safe until the point and know that the only component in our food supply and the cooking oil we should take it out commission are the health and well being of how the force. of both

approaches to all business owners especially here in california for example we've got and use a lead paint code no they did that for public health but we know the trans fats that are about to collide can we do that as well. doctor told us earlier that modern medicine has failed in preventing the diseases that are affecting us most he says it's because our focus has been on treatments and the treatments are far too expensive. so what we should do is now we have to focus our attention we should search why we fail. is greed is greed as well you. know you talk about dreaming dreaming. again paying directly correlated. i believe the reason that people not associated food with the disease is because a part of it is they don't understand that what you eat becomes you transferred in

some ways really like ionizing radiation we know that it's very dangerous a million doses of high doses and it's really impossible to say that there's any safe level so i think the sensible thing is really to have no transplants from partially hydrogenated oils in our diets people forget the major impact the diet here has on the public's health it's easy to forget when the food tastes so good kind of foods we're reading major cause of obesity heart disease cancer diabetes are still pro-science tooth decay. in fact one of the great challenges we have today is how we promote health care how we prevent strokes and heart attacks so what is the answer the answer is not me telling these the answer. because the american public knows very well they

would claim mention secret is markings bad blood pressure and lack of accusations but obesity is what we all know. so the choose not to have to kill these are you already in your life to put health as a priority to you or not. health should be everyone's priority and the bottom line is that transplants and processed foods do not contribute to healthy living i wasn't suing because trust makes you fat i was certain that this rose picture. foods that contain these harmful fats are not part of the nutritional diet and if you're eating transparent i urge you to stop as we learn more and more about how what we are facts are long term health and mobility we find that over processing of food is having many severe consequences. eliminating them from your diet can be a first step on the road to healthy living killing ourselves and we killing

ourselves our own digging our own graves with our teeth. personal responsibility is the cornerstone of any diet change the other is going information you have to look past the companies in the media because their sales driven enterprises they're not concerned with your health. and their main concern is the shelf life of the product an army concerns the shelf life of the individual . all markets are sales driven. if we start buying healthier foods and these companies will be forced to sell us healthier foods. you have to take responsibility for yourself you can't wait for your government or these corporations to regulate the safety of our food the f.d.a. is is is inspecting virtually nothing when it comes into the united states market.

i think the problem is very greek we're still in a private rivalry greed greed sht. god.
