‘The Evidence–Meat Kills’ : By Mayank Jain
Launching documentary, ‘The Evidence–Meat Kills’, in New Delhi on Sep 18, 2017 , Press Club of India, 3.30 pm
This science-based film raises issues about the role of unhealthy lifestyle–especially improper eating habits–in the spread of chronic diseases like cancer, cardio vascular diseases, diabetes, kidney disorders, neurological problems etc. The prevalent western diet results in consumption of huge amounts of animal proteins, dietary cholesterol, saturated fats and harmful chemicals which play a key role in the spread of life-threatening disorders. This diet, unlike a whole-foods-plant-based diet, lacks ‘good-health-agents’ like dietary fiber, anti-oxidants and phyto-nutrients. Owing to higher intake of animal-based food and fast foods, there is an abnormally high increase in the spread of colorectal cancers, heart problems, kidney failures and type-2 diabetes throughout the world.
