*****Eating less meat won’t save the planet, here’s why, 23 min, 3.1M 8 months What I’ve Learned exposes the distortions promoting a vegan diet to help the planet. The difference in green-house gases and consumption of water is under 2 percent. Most water is used for crops, and the vast majority of livestock (ruminants) food is not edible for humans, under 10% is edible. For pound of beef it is 2.8 pounds and for pigs and chickens it is 3.2 pound of human edible food per pound of flesh. 2/3rd of agricultural lands are marginal (suitable for livestock), and 1/3rd are arable. ½ of fertilizers come from livestock, most of the waste veg & fruits 42%, grains 22%, tubers 18% and animals 14%. Switching to vegan is negative, full of chemical and the food made high in sugar and unsaturated fatty acids which is why humans are the sickest of mammals https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sGG-A80Tl5g . Excellent

Dietary Villains – Part 2: Salt Scare, 30 min, 40,000 view, Dr Jason Fung, goes over the evidence for the dietary recommendation to lower salt. Similar to the previous, a lecture where the evidence does the arguing. Another example of useless FDA advice https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sAGrUwE8zpY Very Good
Salt: Are you getting enough? 13 min, 65,000 views 9/17, 327,000 views, What I’ve Learned; the historical use was much higher because of food preservation; we urinate the excess away. With US guidelines for salt we have a higher mortality rate than taking 6 times that amount.

The Silent Epidemic: The Untold Stories of Vaccines 108 min, 518,000 views, points out how pharma promotes vaccines, many of low efficacy and all of questionable safety because we are injecting foreign substance that have not meaningfully been tested for safety or purity.

Too much Medicine 28, min, 9,900 views, ABCTV, Catalyst series, Dr. Demasi, starts with mammograms and over diagnosis, thus harm through unnecessary treatment, covers most major issues such as polypharmacy, guidelines, etc. a good start on a complex topic https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FdffcID_BsA very good

Done in a UK clinic, 14,000 patients, 15 doctor, 10 minutes per patient; they expect a prescription. Human interest lacks science, chooses 3 types of medication, pain meds, psychiatric, antibiotics, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g_ggnhpGvvA Episode 2: 58 min, 132,000 views, caught in a chain of 10 minute exams and patients who expect drugs, misses how bad they are, and how broken the trials and reporting and guidelines https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wjn4f8YhhfU good
Note: The large number of professors and doctors who have come forward to criticize pharma’s tobacco ethics which generates tobacco science to market drugs most of which aren’t worth their side effect. Many of these drugs are causal for other chronic conditions such as dementia, cardiovascular disease, colitis… A chorus of academic critics has convincing evidence which can be found in peer review journal articles, a sample of which is at /rep and some more /rjk—list of their books, and why doctors give Junk treatments.
Cast the videos onto the television and view them with friends and family in the comfort of the living rom. I use a 20-foot HDMI cable from my laptop so that I can use links in this word document.
