Forks Over Knives

Forks Over Knives is a documentary based on the studies of two doctors.  These two doctors dedicated their life to studying the effects of a plant-based diet on the body.  More specifically the effects on heart disease, cancers, and diabetes; all now common diseases in the United States.  The two doctors ( who I really can't remember the names of) both found staggering results in the benefits of a plant based diet.  One of the two doctors based his research in suburbia China. He studied the incline of liver disease in these areas. The towns people were put on vegan diets and he found that the treat of liver cancer disappeared.  The other doctor based his research on heart disease. He conducted his research on 24 very ill patients. He found that a vegan diet amazingly promoted better health in hid patients. Currently the doctors have devoted their practice to helping patients with these diseases reverse the effects with a “whole food plant based diet”.  I am doing my research on vegetarian and vegan diets. This documentary, even though it wasn't exactly about what I'm researching, was great. I've watched it a few times before but the content is just so interesting. It really promotes just a good diet in general. I think it is really interesting that the documentary followed two doctors.  This makes the content much more effective. we put so much trust in our doctors. these two doctors have dedicated their lives to advocating vegan diets. It really resonates. I would recommend this documentary to anyone honestly. I have their cookbook and the food is amazing! The documentary is on Netflix!
