A few days before, we all sat down to watch this documentary called “What the Health?” and honestly I was so shocked about the information being poured out like a waterfall. So today I will be explaining to you about a quite different topic. Health. Food. And lies. Now, let us begin.

Meat. The majority of people in America and countless other areas around the globe consume meat. The percentages are massive and though many think that this is quite normal for a everyday diet. But this topic now leads me to talk about diet and disease.

Processed meat is modified to taste better and/or last longer for consument. Numerous studies show that it shows a link with cancer and other defects such as high blood pressure, heart disease, bowel and stomach cancer, and Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease(COPD), and possibly dozens of other terrible effects. Sodium Nitrite is also the cancer causing substance, responsible for those other adverse effects of processed meat consumption. Here are the reasons for why it is an additive for processed meat.

• To improve flavor by extending the fat oxidation(rancidification)
• To keep the red.pink color.
• To prevent the growth of bacteria, cutting the risk of food poisoning.

Nitrite in meat is especially dangerous because it can form into an N-nitroso compound.

But it’s not only processed meat that can affect people. Regular meat itself can be very harmful considering the fact that the majority of facilities holding animals that are being raised to succeed in death are usually in terrible hospitality and are in horrible. conditions. Often near other dearly departed animals.

And another reason that I find quite incredible and can dumbfound many people is that large strong animals such as elephants, hippopotamus’s, bison, buffalo’s, horses, Tamaraw, Elks, rhinoceros’s, Kouprey,  etc. They are all herbivores. And if you look at an herbivore’s teeth, they have strong, flat molars that help them grind  leaves. But carnivores are another story. They are named for their extremely defined canine teeth that help them to tear and rip meat. Homo Sapiens were meant to be herbivores. To eat only plants or plant based meals.

That is a whole different way to tell someone that you’re vegan. Em’ I right? Okay that was really cringy, sorry.

MOVING ON!

Has anyone ever told you that “milk was good for you” or ” your bones will grow strong if you drink lots of milk and eat cheese” or ” you’ll need the calcium when you grow older” or some kind of stereotypical alteration of an otherwise predictable statement. People tend to believe that dairy products help our bones( cheese, milk, etc.) If you believed all that, then be glad you’re still healthy right now…

Though cheese is apparently a staple food for the majority of the world’s population. Cheese is very atrocious for the human body. Cheese is packed with sodium, fat, cholesterol, and is a high calorie product. Typical cheeses are seventy percent fat. The kind of fat they actually contain is mainly saturated fat(bad fat).

There is no evidence supporting the fact that milk is good for your bones and increases stability in physical performance. There are no facts stating that milk can prevent osteoporosis. These myths are merely opinions and no facts. And there is a large difference between fact and opinion. Milk simply is not necessary in a diet.  All the vitamins it may/may not contain can be found in whole plant foods. Nutrients needed for healthy bones such as Vitamin K and manganese is and can’t be found in milk but can also be found in whole plant foods.

Ever since we watched the documentary we have all bailed on eating any dairy products for the rest of our lives.

Now here is a part that will probably shock the dairy out of you. Hehe, get it? Kay, I’ll stop.

ONWARD!

The American Heart Association, Susan G. Komen, American Diabetes Association, and the American Heart Association all are societies that research, and help with these specific health types.

But the American Diabetes Association has a specific page that victims of diabetes can read through about what they can eat. Here’s what I have found:

“A healthy diet is a way of eating  that reduces risk for complications such as heart disease and stroke.

Healthy eating includes eating a wide variety of foods including:

• vegetables
• whole grains
• fruits
• non-fat dairy products
• beans
• lean meats
• poultry
• fish

There is no one perfect food so including a variety of different foods and watching portion sizes is key to a healthy diet. Also, make sure your choices from each food group provide the highest quality nutrients you can find. In other words, pick foods rich in vitamins, minerals and fiber over those that are processed.

People with diabetes can eat the same foods the family enjoys. Everyone benefits from healthy eating so the whole family can take part in healthy eating. It takes some planning but you can fit your favorite foods into your meal plan and still manage your blood glucose, blood pressure and cholesterol.”

DAIRY PRODUCTS. POULTRY. MEATS. FISH. WHAT THE HECK IS UP WITH THIS WORLD. FISH HAVE MERCURY IN THEM. DO YOU KNOW HOW DEADLY THAT IS?

The association helping people with diabetes is luring people to EAT THINGS THAT CAN CAUSE DIABETES. WHAT THE HECK.

This situation happens in the websites of the societies I have listed.

Then in the documentary there came the scene the broke my beliefs towards these associations. And it all came down to just one simple word: Sponsors.

These associations were being sponsored by companies that manufactured products that can be well known as THE MAIN CAUSE OF LIKE MOST OF THESE DISEASES.

This information shocked me. How are people this way. Why. Is money the only thing that matters? So many people believe in these associations but no. It’s just slowly killing these victims. Like a silent poison.

This documentary really changed my perspective on my health, and how I can protect myself with just simple actions.

Kip Anderson and Keegan Kuhn, produced, directed, edited, and filmed this movie. I believe that many people should what it because it has key information and scientific reasoning to support there claims. Thanks for reading and i hope you learned something that can change your lifestyle. Because it certainly did for me.
