The third leading cause of death? Make sure you see the “prequel” to this video: Why Prevention is Worth a Ton of Cure (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/why-prevention-is-worth-a-ton-of-cure/).

Even medical diagnosis can be harmful. See my video Cancer Risk From CT Scan Radiation (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/cancer-risk-from-ct-scan-radiation/).

For those curious about my time in medical training can read by memoir-of-sorts, Heart Failure: Diary of a Third Year Medical Student (http://upalumni.org/medschool/).

Times, they are a-changin’ though, with the emergence of the field of lifestyle medicine:
• Lifestyle Medicine: Treating the Causes of Disease (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/lifestyle-medicine-treating-the-causes-of-disease/)
• What Diet Should Physician’s Recommend? (http://www.nutritionfacts.org/video/what-diet-should-physicians-recommend/)
• The Actual Benefit of Diet vs. Drugs (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/The-Actual-Benefit-of-Diet-vs-Drugs)
• Physicians May Be Missing Their Most Important Tool (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/physicians-may-be-missing-their-most-important-tool)
