How Ultra-Processed Food is Slowly Killing Us | ENDEVR Documentary

I visited a so called 3rd world country about 10 years ago from the UK they were eating fresher and healthier food than us.

As a pharmacist I’m amazed that so many of the patients I talk to don’t even know type 2 diabetes is reversible. We have medical standards and guidelines that mandate people are prescribed several classes of drugs for metabolic syndrome-related diseases, but nothing requiring actual education about the illness itself. These drugs are nothing more than a tourniquet on a severed limb and are not meant as a long term solution!

If you cut sugar and seed oils from your diet, I promise you will see incredible increases in your health, mood, sleep, etc.

I was pre diabetic and had insulin resistance but I turned things around by completely changing my diet and exercise and now at 39 years old I’m completely normal. I am very healthy and happy now.

These kinda informative documentaries are better than movies:) who agrees?

As a general rule avoid the center of a grocery store. Not things like flour and tea, but anything processed. Most of the frozen stuff is junk too. If you're old enough you remember what grocery stores used to look like, pretend they still look that way and buy just those things. The stores have gotten bigger but it isn't because they have larger produce and meat sections, it's because there are more center aisles full of processed garbage.

The sad thing is that in the US most people would consider him at the start as "perfectly normal and healthy"

I also want to see a follow up with this man. I wish him the best. He’s got a cute kid and he’s taking the steps to get healthier. No doubt- processed foods are killing us and its a FEATURE, not a bug. Big food and Big Pharma (at least here in the U.S.) have strong lobbies, and once the food makes us sick, we get hooked on the pharma…

I'm a great grandmother and I recently picked up my grandson from school early during recess. There were certainly a couple of chubby kids when I was going to gammer and primary public school, I was one of them. However, the sea of severely obese kids I saw on the playground the day I picked up my grandson was stunning. Nearly all were overweight to some degree. But about half were genuinely severely obese. This prompted me to look at my old year books. It was night and day. Not only this, but when I was a child, recess saw most kids running, playing, climbing. The day I watched recess recently, very few kids were doing anything. Those that did, most were uncoordinated, stumbling around. This is bad.....

I just started working at my local grocery store. Seeing what junk people buy is mind blowing. Some people will spend over $200 in groceries and everything is processed. Not one fresh fruit or vegetables. It’s sad…

The food industry has set things up this way "profit over people." Is anyone surprised? Greed will always win out over concern for the populous and smaller communities. That is why videos like this and so many others are necessary in order to "re-educate" yourself regarding what is best for your long term survival.

I watched the film of my parent's wedding from 1956. In a crowd of about 50 people, I only saw one person who was overweight (but not obese). I was so amazed. I recently quit processed food (especially ultra-processed), my back pain has completely disappeared, and I've lost 15 pounds. I didn't realize how bloated I was, I can bend over much easier now. And NO cravings (I'm eating high fat low carb, NO processed food whenever possible).

This is powerful stuff.. I think it should be required to show this video to middle schoolers across the country.. and adults at their jobs as part of insurance wellness programs.

I have had non alcoholic fatty liver since I was 10 and I've always been on the lower end of normal weight. My parents always fed me sweets and sugars when I was young. I wonder how far this reaches and what other things are going to happen to society

My parents fed me junk food my entire childhood. I'm grateful I went vegetarian. That was my personal journey to learning how important whole foods are. Not saying vegetarian is the only way or that all vegetarians do it right. That was just the jump I needed to get out of my family's tribe of unhealthy eating.

I agree with this. When I was younger you could count the number of overweight kids at your school on one hand. I remember moving to a different state as a young adult and was shocked at the size of school aged kids, kids looking like adults, around the same weight as adults. Poor food choices and cutting out recess or making recess optional in schools only adds to the problem. I remember the food we were fed in schools back in the day. Lunch was fairly healthy and there were NO vending machines selling junk food at all.

7 weeks ago I changed my diet to 95% natural foods... I've lost 20 lbs and have never felt better!!

Imagine just chillin on the beach or walking through the city and you end up in a obesity documentary lmaooo

I had to tell a client one time they were 61% fat and I had to cry first and come back. That client was very angry at me and question all health providers, when they were standing in front of me looking how they did. Self responsibility is the only answer. Very sad.

I am a health coach and the level of sugar addiction is terrifying. People have a really hard time making changes and often experience setbacks. Some give up completely bc they cannot imagine a life without excess sugar. It’s so sad we were all raised to think this is normal. It’s an uphill battle but not impossible!
