On today's episode, I'm joined by a seven-time New York Times best-selling author and expert

on nutrition and longevity.

He goes into detail about the ways in which our standard American diet is both accelerating

aging and decreasing our overall lifespan, and explains why shifting over to the Neutritarian

lifestyle can lead to a recovery from and prevention of cancer, diabetes, and heart disease.

So without further ado, here is my conversation with Dr. Joel Furman and this is uncovering

the truth.

Dr. Furman, I want to start out because I heard you say something along the lines of it's

almost as if Al Qaeda created the standard American diet because of how many Americans

have been killed by it.

So when I heard this, I thought to myself, you know, how important is the diet to our

longevity?

Right.

You know, that the major cause of death in North America over the age of 60 is heart attacks,

heart attacks and strokes.

Still the major cause of death, and I'm just making this radical claim that nobody has

to have a heart attack or a stroke.

It's all diet related, no animals in the world except gorillas and chimpanzees and captivity

bed processed foods get heart attacks, but no animals in the wild, but humans don't have

heart attacks.

And there are lots of human studies on primitive populations eating natural foods that do not

get heart attacks.
