DESCRIPTION: How the food, drug, and supplement industries have taken advantage of the field of nutrition’s reductionist mindset.

This is an issue Professor Emeritus T. Colin Campbell wrote a Whole (http://www.worldcat.org/title/whole-rethinking-the-science-of-nutrition/oclc/854612980) book about. I’m looking forward to doing many more videos on the topic.

Where do plant eaters get protein from though? Check out:
• Do Vegetarians Get Enough Protein? (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/do-vegetarians-get-enough-protein/)

The concept of optimal rather than just adequate nutrition is illustrated well in this video about fiber: Lose Two Pounds in One Sitting: Taking the Mioscenic Route (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/lose-two-pounds-in-one-sitting-taking-the-mioscenic-route)
