Pam Popper is an internationally recognized expert on nutrition, medicine, and health and the founder and Executive Director of Wellness Forum Health. Pam has been featured in many widely distributed documentaries, including Processed People and Making a Killing, and appeared in the acclaimed documentary Forks Over Knives, which played in major theaters throughout North America in 2011. She is one of the co-authors of the companion book, which was on the New York Times bestseller list for 66 weeks. She is the author of Food Over Medicine: The Conversation That Can Save Your Life.
In this interview, Dr. Lee Kurisko discusses many of the points Pam Popper raises in her best-selling book she co-authored with Glen Merzer, "Food Over Medicine. The Conversation That Could Save Your Life" - which is that by medicating our chronic diseases and other common ailments, we fail to address the root causes: diet. They discuss the importance of examing scientific evidence when making medical decisions.
Nearly half of Americans take at least one prescription medicine, with almost a quarter taking three or more, as diseases such as diabetes, obesity, and dementia grow more prevalent than ever.
Overmedicated, overfed, and malnourished, most Americans fail to realize the answer to lower disease rates doesn’t lie in more pills but in the foods we eat. With so much misleading nutritional information regarded as common knowledge, from “everything in moderation” to “avoid carbs,” the average American is ill-equipped to recognize the deadly force of abundant, cheap, unhealthy food options that not only offer no nutritional benefits but actually bring on disease.
