you're with us here live from moscow on this sunday we are doing the weekly top news of the grief and despair in norway is the country mourns the victims of its first of a terrorist attack the suspect tells police that ninety three deaths were gruesome but. rupert murdoch faces investigation in the u.s. since you more alleged phone hacking by his media. that he was grilled in britain over the scandal that he has a that has shaken police rather politicians. and the e.u.

reaches out a helping hand to greece agreeing on a new bailout of fears remain about the future of the euro as new protests are expected in spain against the government's handling of its own financial crisis and . are going to stay with us here in our my colleague is here in half an hour's time now the second part of a special report discovering of the risks we face eating on a daily basis thank you for watching. you're not born with a biochemistry or psychology degree so every second of your existence from birth to graduation people make decisions for you what you do what you wear what you learn and most important what you eat. as you grow older your parents 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. quick and they've been convinced it's good for you. when 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 or the little keyboard constantly telling you 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. for example your neat heinz ketchup and nothing else you drink your favorite soft a cup which. everyone has a paper snack food or restaurant. you have come to believe that betty crocker and the pillsbury doughboy are safe and friendly. your internal

dialogue rationalizes these products can be dangerous otherwise some government agency would put a stop to it they care about you right or wrong this perception is carefully crafted by all the parties that stand to make a financial gain. these companies you are a judge it 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 say i'm for you. i received a phone call from stephen joseph he told me about a high school teacher lori terrorism and. she was teaching in advanced health class at a specialty high school in new york city her students were doing research about the use of trans fats in our food so we met up with them to talk about the project. how many people found trans fats in foods that they thought were healthy.

really. keep your hands up i mean i like what you said over here you had a great comment obviously if these words aren't good for you i mean nobody goes and it's a twinkie or big mac. i think it's healthy for 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 hope. bars has. taught. me. how. hard it can also see how dr. blix is the right source of that sort of thing. i think when he's taken so it's i want to be something and i looked in the right search there were ten thousand i see stuff neighborhoods things just the whole. stuff haunts all those part of the

street transcribed would be a lot. of us you would think do look out for us. the labeling laws is really confusing it's been an important step forward to require the transfer that's beyond the forward level so it gives consumers some awareness about the amount of transfer out there but it's very confusing because it's legal to or out up to half a gram or transfer out you know project and still have a zero there or a line 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 fats hydrogenated vegetable oil and the optimal safe in the mountains zero. they only have to label half a gram per serving so you still need to read your ingredient label cause that copy

paste all of this so that it has has become. like knowledge that it's. all off the boil their currency transfer because smell time from any major scientific inquiry to determine whether about this transcript of the problem what he was closer to take the equipment to a restaurant with you and test the food see this call transparent and if it's zero doesn't mean zero then food companies might be lying when they put zero grams of trans person being on the front of the market just. i had to spend a weekend at the university of maryland biochemistry allowed to find out. i have been presented with these five samples of foods on my server rebel films and they've asked me it's a analyze them or trans fatty acid content the first one is the tallest margarine and it has zero chance on the label and the new christo has zero trans on

the label. so will take a sample and homogenize it. and that's what will be analyzed for the trans fatty acids. and. eat. them from the. every food sample that we had. asked it was labeled us and zero grams of trans fat per serving 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 may know that that means transfer outs so how can it says euro and still be contained partially hydrogenated vegetable or confusion is not a good thing i think we really probably should not be allowing zero there unless there is no partially hydrogenated vegetable product after i started really reading labels i noticed some truly disturbing processed foods. bars are designed specifically for people with diabetes walter willett and near stampfer you know those two harvard researchers just told us how tranced that from 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 slint that if trans fats are causing obesity why on earth are they putting these oils in diet products that is crazy. this really got me thinking about the foods i think feeding my daughter. our 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 form. that bleach 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 there stripping the wheat of its nutritional value and creating a need for enriched vitamins. when you think of vitamins what do you visualize is it a picture of an orange pill form. if so you have the wrong image. right on the beach all right the meat and the rich vitamins they put cereals breads and other food products do not come from natural sources like orange. b. vitamins and in rich flour come from chemicals petroleum bacteria and rocks. and man would like less rights of the last part of the transplant puzzle. dromo safire's use replace expensive agreed and sent butter cream and eggs because they have a proper shelf life if you bake your cakes in home you don't get them if you do whatever

make your own i want a sauce or some hope you know you don't have them so it's all part of the. i don't have time to cook give me something quick there are thousands of them on the market the only way to examine the and gradients and modern ones like most rides by reading the patent application on file at the us patent office. documents many can see partially hydrogenated oils as the base for their formula since there is less than half a gram per serving and companies using these ingredients 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 their. but majority of the food that you consume comes 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 americans eat out more than any other country. while you're here . french fries. pop tart french fries burgers. everybody. trans fat epidemic growth in the restaurant industry has skyrocketed from nine hundred fifty until present back then restaurant sales were about fourteen billion dollars. in two thousand and eight sales in the restaurant industry reached over five hundred fifty dollars that's five hundred fifty thousand million dollars. in

comprehensible number the fast food industry claimed over one hundred seventy billion dollars donal's the undisputed champion of fast food captured eighty two million dollars and one year. food industry is the cheapest ingredients in food to sell their goods and affordable price to the consumer. this cost cutting results in the most hideous of gradients and processes to deliver the cheapest possible product. in the meantime as we keep eating these adulterated foods they are waging war on the body at a molecular level speeding the disease process and thrusting the consumer into an 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 manufacturers. 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. comes the emotional burden of being processed and given a standard package solution usually drugs. more drugs means more money and not 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 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 from supply and nobody nobody has tested 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 ending on as one of the great 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 up protect the public. and their job is to both try to prevent unsafe products from getting on the market that could could affect consumers their jurisdiction is actually quite broad they have jurisdiction over over foods and pharmaceuticals and then he has a lot of responsibility and a wide jurisdiction so it's easy to get confused about how they actually operate what does the f.d.a. do. l.b.o. with my diet out there presumably. i would assume it's to make sure they see for human consumption so i work for the f.d.a. to. protect us it's like regulated there. and we break away from the third of the nation's economy a third of the nation's economy they're trying their best but they were overwhelmed

by all the different products that are out there right now that it's pretty scary i have trouble keeping head of the public is losing confidence in the food supply the safety of the food supply and that's bad news for the food industry if people don't trust the police products are safe enough to protect. the f.d.a. doesn't have the authority to recall foods and relies on food companies in a sense the industry is this 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're one of the political conflict because many people would argue that they're the only injuries they should be balancing is that is the risk to 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 to once put 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. i'm sorry we did stop by the headquarters for a visit staying outside. and they only have one question. things you want. to present one third of our economy license drug administration doing a thorough job of regulating it all thanks to some really think you're the people in films that. we came we saw. and they conquered i know a lot of people who are having difficulties 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 there's a lot of work there 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 with 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 for years i testified in congress i never bought that try. in washington d.c. because i knew immediately i was going to be up against congressman services who would be. on the receiving end of campaign contributions from food companies and a 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 help determine here's something very significant you are being told what the food manufacturers want you to hear.

all in fever time first of. all from parents if you very much by unanimous vote by the new york city board of health. two thousand and eight . new york city's twenty six thousand restaurants free trans fat. it is up to the state law to assure of the food supply is safe from the point and the only component in our food supply in the cooking oil we should take it out and ensure the health and well being. of both. to all business especially here in california for example we use the lead pay. for public health but we know the trans fats that

a lawyer can we do that as well. 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 now we have to focus our attention. why we failed. this green is green grass will. eat about three minutes three minutes. and getting paid directly correlated. i believe were the reasons that people not associated food with the diseases because a part of it is they don't understand that what you eat becomes you transfer that 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 transfer outs from

partially hydrogenated oils in our diets people forget the major impact the diet has on the public's health it's easy to forget when the food tastes so good kind of foods we're reading a major cause of obesity heart disease cancer diabetes i still process tooth decay and i learn in fact one of the great challenges we have today how we promote health care how we prevent strokes and heart attacks so what is the answer the answer is not me telling you these the answer is you because the american public knows really well they would play mention it is more king's bad blood pressure back lot of weight to say she's part of the ship is what do you all know. so the she is not to have to tell the

issues are you ready in your life to put herself as a priority or you're not. health should be everyone's priority and the bottom line is that trans fats and processed foods do not contribute to healthy living i was suing because trust picture for i was certain it was transcribed picture. foods that contain these harmful that 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 one term health and wellbeing refined it over processing of food is having many severe consequences. a limited income from your diet can be a first step on the road to healthy living killing ourselves killing ourselves are we giving our own grains with our cheap. personal responsibility is the cornerstone of any diet change the other is good information. you have to look past

the two companies in the media because they are sales driven enterprises they're not concerned with your health. and their main concern is the shelf life of the product and army concerns the shelf life of the individual. all markets are sales driven. if we start buying healthier foods in these companies may 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 in the united states market. i think the problem of great grief with filling the price of government great greed granny. shit.
