We watched a documentary on food and nutrition. We learned about how food and nutrition affects our bodily functions and even mental health.
The documentary was based on the science of nutrition. What types of food are good and bad for you were discussed. They showed different experiments they did to find how food affects different body funtions. They found that a plant based diet could reverse some types of cancers, diabetes, and heart disease. High concentrations of the protein in milk was found to cause liver cancer tumors. The video showed how a scientist was given patients who were very sick from diabetes, cholesterol, heart disease, etc.. One patient was given a month to live. He switched her to an all plant based diet, and her heart disease went away and she lived years longer.
I found the video to be very informative.The video made me think about what I eat and how much of it I eat. I never thought about how what I eat now can affect me when I'm older. But I thought it was very biased towards vegan and vegetarian life styles. Some of the statistics seemed to be missing information. But if you got passed the bias parts of it, it held lots of information on nutrition.
