It is entitled “Uprooting the Leading Causes of Death” and runs about 55 minutes. For those of you who are not familiar with Dr. Greger, here is what is posted on his nutritionfacts.org website:

A great video which should be seen by everyone. Most will not like to hear the message and many will not watch it all the way through because they don’t like what is being said. People should learn that our health is determined at the level of the cell. Cells don’t read and don’t care what laws have been passed by man, such as the “legal age” to drink and smoke and laws for universal health care which will pay for treatment of disease without removing the cause. Cells function according to toxins or nutrients given them. One of the problems is that people can have poor lifestyles and continue to work for decades while in pain. There are those who have learned to change their lifestyle and in 5-7 days have been able to stop taking medication for diabetes and the expenses involved. Most do not know that these and other changes can be made in a short time by the use of plant-strong diets. Your blogs, videos and links are a good place for people to become educated to the possibility that they have a greater control of their health and can make better choices when it comes to food. We vote for better health every time we eat if we choose food over toxic items of commerce which constitute the bulk of the average diet.
Buy a few copies of the DVD to share with family and also donate to your local libraries or just give them the following link which has hundreds of short videos on various topics and will only cost your time.
