This video is Tucker Carlson interviewing some siblings qualified to comment about the US health crisis (50% of children have chronic disease, life expectancy is declining, etc.) One sibling was a physician, the other worked with the food giants to make sure ultraprocessed food was ubiquitous. Both quit to campaign for better, healthier food and metabolism.
One culprit in this crisis is the notion that profit excuses all behavior, no matter how bad. It's not bad enough that health insurers profit from denying coverage, now food companies press the credentialed guardians of our health system to insert disease into everyday life. They've been very successful, and, as the Deans assert in the interviews, they are the direct descendents of the tobacco companies. Addiction leads to profit!
Several groups of physicians have documented the food problem(s) for decades now: Dean Ornish is one. Here are some others: pcrm.org. Or try drmcdougall.com
The “whole foods, plant-based diet” is what they promote. They have documented many cases of (type 2) diabetes, heart disease, etc. that have reversed once patients’ diets change.
Update: I'm having second thoughts about the anti-vax excuses promoted, perhaps legitimately in this video. I'd bet they can be an illegitimate excuse to avoid useful vaccines.
