The Men Who Made Us Fat ''Episode 1-3''

Around the world, obesity levels are rising. More people are now overweight than undernourished. Two thirds of British adults are overweight and one in four of us is classified as obese. In the first of this three-part series, Jacques Peretti traces those responsible for revolutionising our eating habits, to find out how decisions made in America 40 years ago influence the way we eat now.

Peretti travels to America to investigate the story of high-fructose corn syrup. The sweetener was championed in the US in the 1970s by Richard Nixon's agriculture secretary Earl Butz to make use of the excess corn grown by farmers. Cheaper and sweeter than sugar, it soon found its way into almost all processed foods and soft drinks. HFCS is not only sweeter than sugar, it also interferes with leptin, the hormone that controls appetite, so once you start eating or drinking it, you don't know when to stop.

Endocrinologist Robert Lustig was one of the first to recognise the dangers of HFCS but his findings were discredited at the time. Meanwhile a US Congress report blamed fat, not sugar, for the disturbing rise in cardio-vascular disease and the food industry responded with ranges of 'low fat', 'heart healthy' products in which the fat was removed - but the substitute was yet more sugar.

Meanwhile, in 1970s Britain, food manufacturers used advertising campaigns to promote the idea of snacking between meals. Outside the home, fast food chains offered clean, bright premises with tempting burgers cooked and served with a very un-British zeal and efficiency. Twenty years after the arrival of McDonalds, the number of fast food outlets in Britain had quadrupled

Good Science has learn our God given food has the ability to turn on or off good and bad things in our bodies.

Over the last decade, as genetically modified, or GMO, foods have increasingly taken over our food supply, we've been learning more about their dangers to our health.

Now, one courageous doctor is pointing to mounting evidence that leaves no doubt — GMO foods are even worse than we were told.

As this respected doctor points out in a riveting new presentation, no long-term human studies have ever supported GMO safety. Shockingly, the World Health Organization only requires a mere 90 days of testing to claim that GMOs are safe. Well, no one dies from smoking cigarettes within 90 days of starting to smoke, either!

Yet while lifetime studies still have not been done on humans, scientists have done these studies on animals — and what they found is stunning. Lab mice fed just a 33 percent GMO diet begin developing aggressive cancers (particularly breast cancer), liver failure, and kidney failure.

Shockingly, 50 percent of the males and 70 percent of the female animals on the GMO diet succumbed to early death at an age equivalent to 40 to 50 human years.

While more people have begun to fight back against GMOs, the big GMO companies spend millions of dollars to defeat laws that would require GMO labeling. Quite simply, these big companies know that GMO crops are cheaper to grow, and therefore more profitable.

In the meantime, many health experts now warn us to take the only positive action available to protect our health — avoiding GMOs as much as humanly possible. But considering the fact that GMOs are hidden in over 30,000 food products, that is not an easy task.

Fortunately, one courageous doctor has stepped up to the plate. Dr. Russell Blaylock, one of America's leading medical researchers and nutritionists, has created a special free video presentation that explains the hidden health hazards of GMOs. Dr. Blaylock will show you how to protect your family from GMOs and their dangers — aisle by aisle at the grocery store.

Dr. Blaylock's new video presentation exposes how GMO ingredients and other harmful additives are hidden on labels under safe-sounding names. In fact, you'll see some of the actual labels and find out what to watch for.

And those stickers pasted onto fruits and vegetables? Using real examples, you'll learn a simple way to tell the difference between GMO produce that may also be packed with harmful pesticides and herbicides, and produce that is safe and natural.

Travis Davis, health publisher at Newsmax, previewed Dr. Blaylock's presentation for our readers and reports: "GMOs enter your body through thousands of packaged and canned food products, through fresh produce, and through the meat, chicken, and fish you eat. The expert help Dr. Blaylock offers in this video reveals everything you need to know to avoid GMOs at the grocery store as well as restaurants."

Since the introduction of GMO foods, many cancers and other diseases have skyrocketed in humans. Can this really be a coincidence? Please use the information available in this online educational presentation, Cracking the GMO Code to help protect your own health — and the health of your family.

Renowned former neurosurgeon Russell Blaylock, M.D., left conventional medicine after decades of practice to concentrate on nutrition and disease prevention. He is the author of several health books and medical editor of The Blaylock Wellness Report.

Editor's Note: This video blows the lid off the GMO controversy and exposes little-known dangers. Plus, you'll see exactly how to avoid GMOs in their many hidden forms, in grocery stores and in restaurants. © 2013 NewsmaxHealth. All rights reserved.

Have you read it do you know who Monsanto is and how they are trying to rape the planet the people in Europe did take a stand to stop this but some how they have now sneak into the foods under different names.

It is crazy and it true this is going on...

It is a fact if Monsanto stuff contaminates the farmer next door, the farm has to pay Monsanto for his crop and that the farmer can no longer use his own land if he does not buy seed from Monsanto.

The document I posted wasn’t so much about FAT as what all these alien foods are doing to us.

Have you read it do you know who Monsanto is

They're a very successful American company. Stock traded on the NYSE, symbol is MON.

and how they are trying to rape the planet

LOL!

It is a fact if Monsanto stuff contaminates the farmer next door, the farm has to pay Monsanto for his crop

Sounds like a fairytale.

GMO Food — It’s Worse Than We Thought -

More like, it's worse than we felt. Not a lot of thought in those links.

What was so scary about that bill, if you get a chance?

First of all this is not a right or left issue we all eat not is it about profit and making money but sadly when some get to big for their bridges they want to get into others.

They have to control every thing in sight!

You seem to doubt what I say call it a fairy tale etc and because it makes money than all is well in your book.

Well corporate America is not our friend and is nothing like true capitalism.

It is a hybrid of free market for a few and Globalism.

corporate America sold us out, it is no longer for America.

Any way I did not want to get sidetrack.

Real free market is the moms and pops business that keeps
America going...

I don’t know maybe you are one of those Globalism if so why are you here on FR?

After all it is the globalist who gave us Obama

Monsanto has taken farmers to court sue them for using there seed because the wind blew it on the farmers property.

What is so wicked about those seeds if they only can be use once and also can contaminate other farmer land and the father can not sue Monsanto for destroying his property it is sick it is the other way around.

You seems to have strong opinions and at the same time you seem clueless

Monsanto thinks because they have a patent “which no thinking person wants anyway” should it blow on anther property Monsanto can claim all the seeds including the heirloom Monsanto make do distinction.

No one should be able to patent mother nature aka God work.

Monsanto will own all seed

Soon it will be impossible for folks like me to have a choice

Monsanto has taken farmers to court sue them for using there seed because the wind blew it on the farmers property

Sounds like a fairytale.

What is so wicked about those seeds if they only can be use once

Baloney. And no one uses the product of hybrid seeds. You buy new ones each year, works better that way.

and also can contaminate other farmer land and the father can not sue Monsanto for destroying his property it is sick it is the other way around.

Sounds like another fairytale.

Monsanto thinks because they have a patent “which no thinking person wants anyway”

No one wants their seeds? LOL!

Ask farmers why they like RoundUp Ready and other Monsanto products. Farmers won't buy them if they didn't improve yields and make them money.

No one should be able to patent mother nature aka God work.

I'm pretty sure Mother Nature didn't make RoundUp Ready seeds.

When you get a chance, explain what was so scary in that bill.

Or run away from the question. Again.
