EH010: Dr Joel Fuhrman on Fast Food Genocide - How Processed Food Is Killing Us (And What to Do About It)

I had the pleasure of interviewing world-renowned medical and nutritional doctor, Joel Fuhrman MD about his new book ‘Fast Food Genocide’ for the Eternal Health podcast this week. He advocates following a ‘Nutritarian Diet’ for great health and I have enjoyed his past books ‘Eat To Live’ and ‘The End of Dieting’ especially, so it was wonderful to do this enlightening interview with him. I hope you listen attentively to the very important things he has to say on diet and health that are affecting us all and how we can make some great improvements with our own health, our loved ones’ health and the health of society around us. What you'll learn in this episode: Why fast food and processed food are destructive influences on our society. How fast food affects our health, intelligence and propensity for violence and crime.
