DESCRIPTION: A workplace dietary intervention study at GEICO corporate headquarters demonstrates the power of plant-based eating. I've previously mentioned Dr. Barnard's work with the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine in Physician-Assisted Suicide? When Doctors Give Nutrition Advice (http://nutritionfacts.org/2011/09/03/physician-assisted-suicide-when-doctors-give-nutrition-advice/), Dietary Guideline Graphics: From the Food Pyramid to My Plate, Harvard's Healthy Eating Plate, and PCRM's Power Plate (http://nutritionfacts.org/2011/11/07/dietary-guideline-graphics-from-the-food-pyramid-to-myplate-harvards-healthy-eating-plate-and-pcrms-power-plate/), Wisconsin Milk Marketing Board Accused of Making Illegally Deceptive Claims (http://nutritionfacts.org/2011/10/24/wisconsin-milk-marketing-board-accused-of-making-illegally-deceptive-claims/), Paula Deen: Diabetes Drug Spokesperson (http://nutritionfacts.org/2012/01/18/paula-deen-diabetes-drug-spokesperson/), Atkin's Diet: Trouble Keeping It Up (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/atkins-diet-trouble-keeping-it-up/), and How to Treat Diabetes (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/how-to-treat-diabetes/). That paper about resolving the heart disease epidemic for good was written by another of my heroes, Dr. Caldwell Esselstyn, who I've mentioned in China Study on Sudden Cardiac Death (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/china-study-on-sudden-cardiac-death/) and The Tomato Effect (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/the-tomato-effect/). In addition, I have a half dozen articles profiling Dr. Dean Ornish's work, which was instrumental in changing my own diet 22 years ago. Tomorrow I start the Pritikin IGF-1 saga featured in Uprooting the Leading Causes of Death (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/uprooting-the-leading-causes-of-death/)—I can't wait!

Have a question for Dr. Greger about this video? Leave it in the comment section at http://nutritionfacts.org/video/slimming-the-gecko-2/ and he'll try to answer it!
