Not that there aren’t randomized controlled studies showing the extraordinary power of plant-based diets to prevent, treat, and even reverse disease, not the least of which is Dr. Ornish’s landmark Lifestyle Heart Trial, which is what did it for me 25 years ago.

Here’s the video in which I review the evidence surrounding treating multiple sclerosis with nutrition: Treating Multiple Sclerosis with the Swank MS Diet (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/treating-multiple-sclerosis-with-the-swank-ms-diet/).

See Big Food Using the Tobacco Industry Playbook (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/big-food-using-the-tobacco-industry-playbook/) and at least the final 20 minutes of Food as Medicine (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/food-as-medicine).
