relentlessly marketing to us. this film is not just about food 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 off. the quality of our food is decreasing and the number sick people are increasing there has to be a connection. the majority of americans are overweight and at the same time now nourished as a because of refined grains or excess sugar intake what about chemical food additives what role do they play on our health. thousand chemicals are allowed to be used in our food supply. sixty. partially

hydrogenated oil is. this is the question my producer after one day while we 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. he said it's the most processed foods so i started reading labels and found it 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 it hydrogenated oil. it's russian oil. i don't know. that's a good question i judge unaided all is something you put in your car to make a run smooth an oil that's healthier for you than other oils i've heard of. i don't and oil that may be an extra. molecule in it i don't know if i get no clue nor do i because he gets. a good boy hydrogenated oil at least as boyle has seemingly altered oil. in the fact that the will to manufacture in

a way to get something flung through it looks like it's like one of our minds like something is missing. clark. some sort of. trick to try. and avoid all that is if you water a lot of packages and food prosecutors are stuck discussing something from the right. so what is a hydrogenated oil high dr who needed oil is a man made fat trans fat you see that it's 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 nonsense rated that get it ok so what is transferred and transmits in as a. bizarro type of. unsaturated fatty acid where the double bond is present with 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 of vegetable oils the bonds get rearranged so the hydrogen atoms are on opposite sides of a chain you know you might say well who cares where the hydrogen atoms are after all. but it turns out that we have evolved to deal with. fatty acids that have a hydrogen is on the same side so this we have not evolved and deal with these new

kinds of fatty acids that are produced through industrial processing of vegetable oils and this is actually wreaking havoc with our health. let's take a look at how these transcripts are made. the process of hydrogenation starts with a plant that is harvested and then transported to a processing facility here chemical solvents are used to extract oil from the plant the oil is then breached deodorized and eventually pressurized the tank that is heated to over four hundred degrees fahrenheit physics trained temperatures allow a chemical reaction to occur when heavy metals are added as a catalyst for the most commonly used aluminum they're called and cold off none of which should be consumed by human it's fun. finally hydrogen gas is rife with bonded with oil the result is two types of hydrogenated oils only and partially

partially hydrogenated oils are the ones 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 we really and truly need to have no hydrogenation no partial hydrogenation we 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 syrup the public well. the reason for that is that. some fats are essential some paths are ok and some are really bad but trans fat it goes into the really bad category to lump off 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 simplification that is simply wrong. fatty acids in their 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 roles is the backbone of hormones and other molecules that influence our heart rhythm and our likelihood of clotting our response to inflammation and many

many other really essential biological pathways and so this idea that is bad is a bad idea. it 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 and we're consuming know some of the things that we were eating were the kinds of things not make 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 of food technology was irrigation this advancement allowed humans to diversify the location and type of products 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 realize ation more cheap and effective preservatives were needed to prevent spoilage so humans

were introduced on modern food processing and began consuming mandate chemical concoctions. the first known artificial refrigeration was invented in the mid one thousand nine hundred still 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 conti doyle in the early one nine hundred. eleven 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 prize i 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 go. first procter and gamble had to give it away it was marketed

as a scientific discovery that will affect every kitchen in america and dead dead the american kitchen would soon become a lot of tori and mama's little baby learn to love shortening bread. i like to call them the christo kids and what i mean by that is that chris growe was introduced at night to eleven 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 into 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 said it doesn't tell you a genius to figure out that it's related to the adulterated chemicals the hydrate or holes in the toxins in the additives that are put in the food supply. when world 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 prime conditions led to a population explosion creating a new generation of consumers and a brand new packaged food market. shelf life uniformity consistency and convenience where the new standard and market forces responded appropriately. in one thousand nine hundred eighty six congress passed legislation and building interstate highway system which by linking the forty eight states with state of the art roadways forever changed how americans would shop. and eat. manufactured hydrogenated oils which gave long life to margarine and vegetable sort of like chris could be used to preserve the processed packaged foods being trucked across the country. unlike butter and manufactured hydrogenated vegetable that ensured 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 die. ronald's and burger to taco bell and chiles. for travelers hungry as a place to eat in san francisco with the same accustomed menu as a place in st louis or charleston toronto among. the last hundred years there have been very major changes in our food supply 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 have occurred in our food supply and then of course you add on your activity level sort of all sorts 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 a behavior problem very well what time is late the world is fighting with you and one of the leading causes of heart disease is poor dietary choices which will be called the world from such unfortunately even in developing countries and in poor countries these evolving believe properly why is that men and women consume the higher levels of command even just a couple grams a day had substantially higher risk of heart fifteen twenty thirty forty percent higher depending on how much chance they were looking and we did find that you can write small amounts of transcribed in

a put supplies such as one or two percent of the calories for the inner strengths fact heard increase heart since risk twenty you can up your body percent the harvard school of public health estimates the transfer that has been caused. 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 next year in all serving the city of clean. homicides that one hundred thirty two hundred times but people don't focus more on the on the heart attacks because they're not a violent. homicide but the reality of death it is a death and with killing ourselves and we killing ourselves getting our own graves with our teeth. is the number one cause of death in the world look only in developed countries but now even important. these heart attack and is

still in the snow equal to an infectious diseases ha the even more lead yet into a sure we have really been thrown to the problem of significantly. we've learned the transcripts have many adverse metabolic are facts we first heard the transcripts elevate the bad cholesterol the stage the request but then we found the transcripts increase inflammatory factors throughout the body meaning it really creates a general cyst general condition of information every organ of the body you know classed as 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 spears. alice like sticky jell-o. globs. we call. the

. little things in their mouth as if cleaning. coal is still ill deal call a store he's the one that gets that it is the deal with you now cholesterol in the same molecule it's the company that makes it good or bad it's the. valuable compound. good or bad and then we shouldn't attribute more after abuse to an inert compound i hold. in l.d.l. molecule. it's been reported that there's a higher risk of heart. now remember cholesterol is a carrier like a dump truck l.t.l. carry stuff to where it is needed and carry stuff away. here's the tricky part trans fats cause inflammation they increase and inhibit production.

and keep striving to l.d.l. levels higher and higher and there isn't enough h.d.l. to remove the excess and the arteries get clogged. no wonder food has this catastrophic effect on individual bases you have to make a position whether. or not society will need to pay for your and they will say you know you want it such you will not. too expensive. for example. so i think we're going to get to some. really really impossible it will be impossible to support the system so we are facing a situation which is an economic one if we continue only what she will do for you have to make a decision which is a personal one and that is i am interested in health dr foster says the treatments 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 costs are setting up quickly. bob's lucky they sent a paramedic this time and. here comes some oxygen and some drugs. now it's off to the hospital so strap 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 happened next. that's why he. says it's not good to go

past registration as the waiting room directly behind curtain number twelve the first. here's bob's emergency nurse she makes pretty good money and it is a from the e.r. doc. are you feeling that's not change. the still having some chest discomfort to ship them off to the cardiac unit. here i have a private room a cardiac nurse more drugs and a console from a cardiologist dr julie it's very nice to hear i'm a cardiologist your doctors ask me to come talk to you this is where things start getting real expensive which we see spending a lot but we're going to do we're going to do good tests to see if you're having a heart attack to echocardiogram which is just not in your heart to. do a stress test or a stress test all happen or most of your party attackers. too many questions i know

it's a lot to get. through. now if the cardiac cath is positive and it's off to surgery which is usually stents to the coronary artery for a complete bypass of that artery total cost for all of this. since one thousand nine hundred eighty heart disease has been the number one killer of americans let's put this into perspective forty two thousand americans die each year from car accidents only a thousand. seven hundred thousand people. and thirty two thousand will kill themself. well some of us are killing each other and others are killing themselves one hundred seventeen thousand died enjoying careless accidents we have said

american troops sent to war many times with us. and all the war since korea it has 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 parents that. has an adverse effect on employment systems that is it makes their body. and work harder to metabolize and sugars and this is the first step on the road to die 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 it still worse and closer to god needs where we are in the midst of a diabetes epidemic along with our. friends and family when 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 b.m.i. of say twenty or twenty one and we get rid of three quarters of the diet and. 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 extremes of word for

a large majority of americans are overweight there's a level that's that's having outbursts of cracks on their risk of diabetes and heart disease but a lot of physical education if. you don't believe it was supposed to be i thought for ten years it was supposed to be taking kids out for trouble it's a. state law the 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 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 there are factors operating at many levels that push us as individuals toward or away resulting from overeating and activity in the epidemiologic studies individuals who commits high amounts of trans fat from hydrogenated national polls have a substantially higher in this article sudden death from cardiovascular and they

also have an increased risk of diabetes and in animal studies that actually has been shown to increase when they had the seen amount of calories in the diet with either trans fat or for coffee or the monkeys who are on the trans fat diet actually gain more weight specifically increasing that down the road and something just like they're going through. this country every well these are not valued everywhere but the whole country is getting movement so while well you're right. if it saves. sugaring rich flour washing the hydrogenated vegetable oil ali still treats sixty. for the feast we've got it's. the biggest issues get the human voice face to face with the news

makers.

and. you can. get in here all season.
