Food Matters (1:17) 2008

Food Matters is a documentary that begins explaining that plant food is the most nutritious when eaten soon after harvesting and also eaten raw - in the case of fruits and vegetables. The more food is processed the less nutritious it becomes. This is hardly new information - although some of the names of super foods were unfamiliar. The scientists that are interviewed speak to the benefits of vitamins especially Vitamin C. Again, really not new information. Food Matters than takes an twist and the scientists speak as to how intravenous doses of mega vitamins are a viable treatment for cancer patients. I'm not sure that I bought into all this. One of the doctors lives in California but his office is in Mexico. But what I am taking away is this - eat more fruits and vegetables, less processed foods, exercise and drink more water. But not water in a plastic bottle.
