Research shows that 80% of heart attacks and a third of cancers would be prevented if New Zealanders adopted a whole foods, plant based (WFPB) lifestyle. This film calls for a radical change to government health policy, and for it to state that 'heart disease, diabetes, obesity, and many cancers can be prevented or reversed by adopting a WFPB lifestyle'.
 

This documentary investigates strong evidence that Type 1 Diabetes is caused by A1 cows milk. Also that cows milk gives no benefits to bones and its calcium causes increased damage to the heart and internal organs. As well research shows that cows milk is implicated in Crohn's Disease.

Stories are told of people being cured of; Ulcerative Colitis, Heart Disease and Type 2 Diabetes by simply changing what they eat. As well Obese people lose huge weight on a WFPB diet, without needing to exercise or restricting their food intake.

A surgeon tells of New Zealand’s world high Bowel Cancer rates and directly relates these to red meat, processed foods and animal fat consumption. The film also scrutinizes sausage and mince fat content. Once water is removed, frankfurters contain a huge 62% fat and common mince even more!

​

Over the past decade New Zealand meat consumption has dropped 15%. Beef has dropped by more than a third and sheep meat by a huge 83%!

Later in the film experts show how to change one's diet and enjoy this new way of living. Others tell of how animal based food industry lobbyists influence government policies, while reducing food quality and increasing profits. Meanwhile kiwis are kept ignorant and needlessly suffer heart disease, cancers and premature death at young ages. 

Grant narrates this story and tells of his own journey from heart attack and multiple stents, to full health and active lifestyle today. Along the way he seeks comment from; the Heart Foundation, Cancer Society, Fonterra and Beef+Lamb, - and finally confronts health officials asking; “Why wasn’t I told that my heart attack could have been avoided?”

In the course of his journey Grant interviews seven professors, nine doctors and numerous health specialists.

One WFPB doctor puts it this way; “How can we have studies on heart disease, that don’t recognise the fact that we already have a cure for heart disease?”
