What’s so great about resistant starch? See my last video Resistant Starch and Colon Cancer (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/resistant-starch-colon-cancer/).

I first broached the subject of intact grains in my video Are Green Smoothies Bad for You? (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/are-green-smoothies-bad-for-you/)
Why should we care about what our gut flora eats? See Gut Dysbiosis - Starving Our Microbial Self (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/gut-dysbiosis-starving-microbial-self).

Did I say putrefication? See Putrefying Protein and “Toxifying” Enzymes (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/putrefying-protein-and-toxifying-enzymes/).

Berries don’t just help block starch digestion but sugar digestion as well. See If Fructose is Bad, What About Fruit? (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/if-fructose-is-bad-what-about-fruit/)

The whole attitude that we can just stuff the effects into a pill is a perfect example of reductionism at work. See Reductionism and the Deficiency Mentality (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/reductionism-deficiency-mentality/) and more recently, Why is Nutrition So Commercialized? (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/why-is-nutrition-so-commercialized/).
