- What is the government hiding from us? “only 5% of cancers are genetically based. Yet all the research is on genetic cures for cancer, when we know that 95% come from poisons in our food.” - Dr. Vandana Shiva implores us to pay attention and take our health into our own hands!

- Where is this decay of our mind and our body coming from? Dr. Vandana Shiva tells us it's coming both from the direct assault of our environment as well as a deliberate attempt to not allow us to know our bodies, our minds, our being, our place on this earth. What can we do about it? Hear what the experts are saying.

- Diabetic Dementia…right now we're about to pass a new diagnosis called type 3 diabetes. We see dementia affecting people at earlier ages and stages, and a lot has to do with diet. “We have plenty of data and I don't think there is any doubt that a diet that is whole food, plant-based is better.” Dr. Sherzai and other experts explain how diet affects our physical and mental health.

- Studies dating back over 50 years have shown clear evidence that people who eat higher amounts of saturated fats increase inflammation and oxidation in the brain, which is associated with damage to brain cells and to the arteries and vessels that provide oxygen and nutrients to brain cells. Dr. Ayesha Sherzai and other experts teach us the importance of a plant-based diet.
