A Delicate Balance: The Truth

---

The truth is our beautiful

world is in danger.

The planet, the environment

and all of its inhabitants

are subject to global warming.

A world, completely off balance, is

revealing its catastrophic implications.

What you're about to see is the truth...

the truth about the delicate state

of our world and our bodies...

these scientifically documented facts have

direct and imediate impact on your life.

A Delicate Balance

The Truth

On April 14th, 1912, the

Titanic made her maiden voyage

from Southhampton, England, to New York.

The Titanic was the largest

and best build ship of her day.

She was considered unsinkable.

In fact, some members of her crew

believed that not even God

had the power to sink her.

How many people today consider the

human body to be beyond the capacity

to be destroyed by the everyday

event of the food that we consume.

Invencibility is an illusion.

Most people are not aware

of the epidemic of ill health

which is rapidly approaching

catastrophic proportions.

Many members of the

medical profession today

are not aware of what causes

the epidemic of ill health.

They are also not aware that

the medications and treatments

they prescribe are

documented as being the third

most common cause of

death in the western world.

Where we're at with the

medical profession right now...

is we are actually selling sickness.

Modern medical education needs to be

reviewed and uptaded in basic areas

such as giving medical

students adequate education

about the exact effects of

the food patients consume

on the health of their bodies.

Really, our aim and our

responsibility has to be to show people

how really to lead and

live healthier lives.

Hundreds of studies from the most

prestigious medical instituitions

in the US and around the

world have been published

in equally renown medical journals.

From JAMA, Journal of the

American Medical Association,

The Lancet,

The New England Journal of Medicine,

they indicate clearly how various foods

contribute to and cause ill health.

Today, most people are not educated

on how to take care of their

bodies to maintain optimal health.

Today, the American

Cancer Society reports

that 47% of men and 38% of women

will develop cancer

during their lifetime.

1 in 4 of these people will

die of cancer prematurely.

We've got to wake up... out of

greater empathy for the public

because the public can

only access information

according to what they're generally

being told, it takes hard work

to really get behind the

scenes and see what's going on.

And I say that we've

got to make changes.

We have a serious problem: the cost

of health care, especially in the US,

is wrecking our country, we have

a serious problem with respect to

the impact it's having

on the environment.

There is hardly anyone

in the western world today

who doesn't have a family

member, friend or colleague

who hadn't been diagnosed

or died of cancer.

I don't want that to

happen to anybody I love

or anybody else that is out

there that it shouldn't happen to.

It does affect people's lives,

we're talking about children's lives,

affects husbands and

wifes and family members.

It affects the lives of more people

than the person that it's happening to.

That person that it's happening

to... somebody loves that person.

According to National Institute,

the number of Americans

diagnosed with cancer each

year is expected to double

within the next 50 years.

The time to pay attention, to hear the

warnings and educate ourselves is now.

The result of the current state of

health in the western civilized world

is that people die unnecessarily.

What is the reason for

this epidemic of bad health

in countries that have

the best of everything?

Doctor Neal Barnard is a physician

with 27 years of experience.

He is the founder and current president

of the Physician's Committee

for Responsible Medicine.

Doctor Barnard teaches and

conducts extensive research

into the causation of various deseases.

He has written 9 books and

over 40 scientific publications.

The consumption of animal products has

killed more people over the last century

than auto accidents, all of the natural

disasters and all of the wars combined.

What is animal protein?

Anything that comes from

an animal, bird or fish.

This includes all dairy products:

milk, cheese, yogurt, butter;

all meat, red and white, and eggs.

Doctor T. Colin Campbell is professor

emeritus at Cornell University.

Doctor Campbell has done extensive

research on the effects of food and health.

Over the last 45 years, he has published

some 300 articles in scientific journals.

Protein was discovered in 1839.

At that time, it was considered

to be a very important nutrient.

So they gave it a name and they took

the name from the greek word 'proteus',

which means of prime importance...

and so this gentleman, a Dutch

chemist, by the name of Gerhard Mulder,

and then went on to have

students and others followed him,

and as the years passed,

as the decades passed,

protein was considered to be really...

an awesome nutrient, an

extremely important nutrient.

In general, it was thought to be

only present in animal based foods...

in the beginning, at least.

It wasn't until some years

later that they start realizing

that plants also have protein as well.

And so, over the years, protein tended

to be associated with animal based foods.

Then, when plant proteins were

finally discovered and recognized,

it was shown animal based proteins,

as opposed to plant based proteins,

was more efficiently used by the body,

more efficiently used in the sense that

it tended to create faster rate growth.

And so, protein from animal based foods,

considered to have what is called

high quality or high biological value.

That has stuck with us througout

the decades and now almost centuries.

That assumption has

probably done more harm

to our general understanding of

what food and nutrition can do

to create health and prevent disease

than was any other discovery, in my view.

The reason for this is that

individual plants contain most,

but not all, the 20 individual

protein components found in meat.

Human meat has the most

complete protein content.

This doesn't mean we

have to eat other people

or animals to get all

the protein we need.

Both animals and people have

to eat a variety of plants

which together will give them the whole

complement of all the protein they need.

This way, nature ensures that people

and animals get to consume a variety

of the other nutrients found

in plants to optimize health.

Did you know that 100 calories of

spinach contains 12 grams of protein?

Which is virtually the

same as 100 calories of beef

which contains 13 grams of protein.

But instead of fat,

cholesterol and no fiber

the spinach contains fiber, no fat,

no cholesterol, lots of anti-oxidants,

iron and calcium and
