Colin Campbell and his colleague Dr. Caldwell Esselstyn, formerly a breast cancer surgeon. Many graphs and charts plus historical studies serve to impart the information that an animal based diet promotes cancer, heart disease, diabetes and a host of other illnesses. Also interesting point made about how a plant based diet fills you up long before you will feel full on a high protein animal based diet. A case is also made to dispel the myth that a low fat diet will help by pointing out that it's not fat that is harmful it is the product itself that is harmful and when you remove the fat you are just leaving room to increase the amount of that harmful ingredient. The same goes for organic vs conventional foods. Eating grass fed organic beef will not help because you are still eating meat. Compelling case study of a diabetic woman changing her diet to a basically vegan one shows dramatic change in her blood work numbers and a reversal of her disease to the point of no longer needing her medicines. Also a heart patient and a breast cancer patient shown to have reduced their diseases with diet and exercise alone. And you never did see so many healthy old people with wonderfully smooth skin. The film runs the risk of seeming too simplistic especially when it turns to the part about industry protecting its product through government policy and what amounts to propaganda in nutrition guidelines. That feels like the same story line as the conspiracy theory movies because it does not point out that it is systemic and not just profit driven as it does in the book. In the book anecdotes are told to illustrate how our system is put together to allow capitalism and reductionist Western thinking to conspire to mislead us. It is, however, a quick way to impart the main points of the book The China Study, without having to slog through all the data of the actual studies. I would have preferred that time was devoted to the science that produced this data. To focus on the case studies leaves a lot of loopholes in people's minds. Neither the book nor the film take into account the mind body connection apart from this diet making you feel better. Talking about disease is not complete without it because if you are suffering from a crisis of belief in life itself i.e. depression, your thoughts will also kill you by severely compromising your immune system.Ironically this movie was recommended by Catherine shrinks in response to her cancer diagnosis. We watched it together and she found very convincing evidence. I was reading the book so that pre-sale.
