three thirty am in moscow arriving at the week's headlines here on our t.v. norway mourns the victims of friday's bombing and shooting rampage that's claimed the lives of at least ninety three people and shaken the country to its core the region man charged with carrying out the attack says his actions were quote gruesome but necessary. thousands returned to the streets of madrid calling for the government to taco unemployment and take action over the country's crippling recession this as greece gets c.e.o. pay for another multibillion euro cash injection from the e.u.

. no pie in the face this week for rupert murdoch but the media mogul still faces an opening round of questions in the u.s. over the phone hacking allegations murdoch and his son more earlier grilled by the british parliament over the scandal that's shaken police politicians and press. up next a special report on the dangers of the food that we're eating stay with us here on our cheat. 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 a fiction 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 for the little keyboard elves who are constantly throwing how great their 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 in 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 drink on virtually everyone has a favorite snack food candy or restaurant. you have come to believe that betty crocker and the pillsbury doughboy are safe and friendly. your internal

dialogue rationalized as these products can be dangerous otherwise some government agency would put a stop to it they care about you 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 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 paris when. she was teaching that advanced health class at a specialty high school in new york city where 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 rules are good for you i mean nobody goes and it's a twinkie or big mac thinking it's healthy food 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. told me off i was quite i don't know bars i was surprised at the fact that i concentrated on us but no always that promotes health and substance i think part of what else he had graduated was at was twenty grams which is the right source for the target. i think romney's taken so it's not one of the reasoning and i looked at the back and said they were transferred but i was surprised to see that i got a divorce i think it's the whole alex brown stuff on all those promises the free

transfer would be a logs. or yes you would think to look out for the school. and labeling laws is really confusing it's been an important step forward to require the transcripts to be on the food label so it gives consumers some awareness about you're not a transfer out there but it's a 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 it's. everybody knows with zero means except in washington zero does not mean zero zero means up to half a gram when we're talking about transfer from hydrogenated vegetable oil the optimal safe amount is zero. they only have to label a half gram per serving so you still need to read your own greeting at my table was

that copy they were going to send thousands so that the chance that. i had one knows that there's. a. lot. more there because see transfer you console transcribed you need major scientific equipment to determine whether or not this translates into probably what he was forced to do take the equipment to a restaurant with you and test the food to see this country and its zero doesn't mean zero that 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 nicer rebel films and they've asked me to analyze them for trans fatty acid content the first one is a promise margarine and it has zero trans on the label and the new christo has to

zero fans on the label. so will take the sample and homogenize that. and that's what will be analyzed for the trans fatty acids. from. eat. more. meat. on. every food sample that we had. asked it was labeled as having zero grams of trans fat per cent of it unfortunately all of the streets containing the deadly agree and

the most surprising the strongest margarine which contains zero point four six grams of trans fat person. and so if the saturday consumer looks at the ingredients they see partially hydrogenated vegetable oil in a know if that means trance fats so how can it say zero and still contain partially hydrogenated vegetable oils 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. to sort of ours are designed specifically for people with diabetes walter willett near stampfer you know those two harvard researchers just told us how transparent 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 slim fast if trans fats are causing obesity why on earth are they putting these oils in the diet products that is crazy. this really got me thinking about the foods i've been 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 leach bottle in your laundry room as 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 we have it's nutritional value in creating a need for enriched vitamins. when you think of vitamins what do you visualize is it a picture of an orange coliform. if so you have the wrong and edge. might only be right to meet and the rich vitamins they put cereals breads and other food products cannot come from natural sources like an orange. would be vitamins and enriched flour come from chemicals petroleum bacteria and rocks. monotype less right up the last part of the trans fat puzzle. through most suppliers use replace expensive agreements like butter cream and eggs because they have a congress shelf life if you bake your cakes in home you don't get them if you do

whatever make your own home on a saucer sample you know you know i am damn close it's all part of the. i don't have time to cook and we thought well. there are thousands of them on the market the only way to examine the ingredients a model of the bus rides by reading the patent application on bio at the u.s. 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 companies using using gradients 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 here. the 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 someplace like this or in a place like this americans eat out more than any other country but what are you eating while you're here. everybody. in the restaurant industry has skyrocketed from one nine hundred fifty president back restaurant sells for about fourteen billion dollars a year in two thousand and. five hundred fifty billion dollars that's five hundred fifty thousand million dollars. in

comprehensible number of fast food industry one hundred seventy billion dollars donal's. captured billion dollars and 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 hideous of 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 lost in the consumer into expensively 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. then comes the emotional burden of being processed and given the standard package solution usually drugs. more drugs leaves more money and not to 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 food 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 own 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 bending going as one of the good ones for eighteen years he was a researcher and best the gator and legal counsel at the food and drug administration he explained how the regulatory agency does its job. i'm face

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 over foods and pharmaceuticals and if he has a lot of responsibility and a wide jurisdiction so it's easy to get confused about how they actually operate but as the f.d.a. did. help me with my guy there presumably to keep a food supply i would assume it's to make sure that. i work for the f.d.a. to. protect us it's it's like you make a late friend there. and we regulate it and a third of the nation's economy third of the nation's economy they're trying their

best but we're overwhelmed by all the different products that are out there right now and it's pretty scary trumps keeping head of the public is losing confidence in the food supply the safety of the food supply and that's good news for the food industry if people don't trust the products are safe enough to protect us. the f.d.a. doesn't have the authority to recall foods he relies on food companies in a sense the industry is 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 their plea 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 to once 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 would think that it can only have one question. what. percent one third of our economy why isn't the putting drug administration doing a thorough job of regulating it all thanks to some really security 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 here for the f.d.a.

to do to protect the public's health and doesn't have the funding to do it you know 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 loved it there for years and testified in congress i never thought of trying to get anything in washington d.c. because i knew immediately i was going to be coming up against a congressman and so it's being. on the receiving end of campaign contributions from food companies and 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 what's not helping some and here's something very significant you are being told what the food manufacturers want you here.

only feet our eyes closed and thousands on from parents thank you very much a unanimous vote by the new york city board of health means by july of two thousand and eight served at new york city's twenty six thousand restaurants the three trans fat. it is up to the state law to assure of the food supply consumed from the point and the only component in our food supply in the cooking oil we should take it out to be sure the health and well being of california. to all the business owners. here in california for example we use a lead paint. that bad for public health but we know the trans fats is

bad a little oil 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 and now we have to focus our attention. why we fail. is green is green guys will. read about dreaming dreaming. beginning paying directly correlated. i believe in the reason 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 way it's really like ionizing radiation we know that it's very dangerous a billion dollars is a 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 trans fats from partially hydrogenated oils in our diets people forget the major impact the diet on the public's health it's easy to forget when the food tastes so good kind of foods we really are a major cause of obesity heart disease cancer diabetes i still process tooth decay in our in fact one of the great challenges we have today is how we promote health or how we prevent strokes and heart attacks so what is the answer and the answer is not me telling you these the answer is you because the american public knows very well they would play mention secret is markings bad blood pressure back lack of it to say since but obesity is what they don't know. so these she's not to have to tell you these

issues are you ready 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 trans fats and processed foods do not contribute to healthy living i wasn't suing because trust makes you fat i was sort of transfer which. 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 we affects our one term health and well being we find that over processing our food is having many severe consequences. limiting now from your diet can be a first step on the road to healthy living killing ourselves killing ourselves while giving our own graves with our teeth. personal responsibility is the cornerstone of any diet change the other is good information. you have to look past

the food companies and 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 and our main concern is the shelf life of the individual. all markets are sales job and. if we start buying healthier foods in these companies then for us 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 pipe rodney unrated worried growing. share.
