Chocolate, Cheese, Meat, and Sugar — Physically Addictive

Neal Barnard MD discusses the science behind food additions. Willpower is not to blame: chocolate, cheese, meat, and sugar release opiate-like substances. Dr. Barnard also discusses how industry, aided by government, exploits these natural cravings, pushing us to eat more and more unhealthy foods. A plant-based diet is the solution to avoid many of these problems. Neal Barnard is the founder of the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine (PCRM). This is Dr. Barnard's COMPLETE presentation from the vegsource HEALTHY LIFESTYLE EXPO 2003. To get a copy of this talk on DVD and many others, visit the vegsource store, see secure2.vegsource.com

Dr Barnard – What a fabulous lecture! Love your humor that’s infiltrated with amazing truths, facts and figures. We’ve been vegetarians for almost 20 yrs and vegans for about 10! It’s the greatest thing we’ve ever done!!!! The world will follow :)


The American Cancer Society is in the business of PROMOTING cancer.

The more people with cancer the more donations they get the larger the industry grows. The cancer business is BIG buinsess and the ACS is at the heart of growing the cancer industry. They do NOT mean well.


Keep the crap (toxins) out of you such as… fast food, processed foods, SUGAR, aspartame (artificial sweetners), fried foods (trans fats), flour, table salt, enriched anything, over the counter drugs (like tylenol), prescription drugs, alcohol, etc.

think NATURE – eat WHOLE foods. mostly plant based. Fruits, veggies, Nuts & seeds. Meat in moderation & if eaten should be clean. Grass feed beef, wild fish (not farmed), etc. Marijuana-Cannabis-Pot (whatever) for MEDICINE.

Great lecture! I’m soooo glad I’ve been a veg since 1972 and vegan since 1993.


BRAVO!


Why can’t a guy like this run the US?


This guy is a genius!
I too want to be vegan and can’t give up cheese. It’s addictive crap.
I bought cheese sticks a few days ago and ate 7 of them in one day. I had one, and kept going back to the fridge and told myself not too. Why is that? Even when I was full I still wanted one. Weird……


Thank you very much for sharing!


This is an awesome lecture!! :) I agree with the 3rd child thing (I am one)..and your mom is right, the world should be vegan!!! I’ve been one for just over a year now, and it’s one of the greatest decisions I’ve made in my life! :):)
