Junk food – killing you with kindness
While the public much concerns about AIDS and avian flu. I want to talk about the other very serious but easily neglected health issues, which are obesity, cardiovascular diseases, and cancers. All of these are completely preventable for at least 95 percent of people just by changing diet. And I am not going to talk too much about how to change your diet and lifestyle as everyone knows that. I am trying to persuade you to stop eating junk food by figures and researches.

And in one generation, for example, Asia's gone from having one of the lowest rates of heart diseases, obesity and diabetes to one of the highest. And in Africa, cardiovascular disease equals AIDS deaths in most countries. So there's a critical window of opportunity we have to make an important difference that can affect the lives of literally millions of people, and practice preventive medicine on a global scale. Stop eating junk food is an easy and simple change for us, right?
Heart and blood vessel diseases still kill more people than everything else combined, and yet it's completely preventable for almost everybody. It's not only preventable; it's actually reversible. A few years ago, the first study showing you can actually stop or reverse the progression of prostate cancer by making changes in diet and lifestyle, and 70 percent regression in the tumor growth, or inhibition of the tumor growth, compared to only nine percent in the control group. And in the MRI and MR here, the prostate tumor activity is shown in red, you can see it diminishing after a year. And for the last almost 29 years, we've been able to show that by simply changing diet and lifestyle, using this very high-tech, expensive, state-of-the-art measure to prove how powerful these very simple and low-tech and
