TRANSCRIPT:

Good evening. For those of you unfamiliar with my work, every year I read through every issue of every English-language nutrition journal in the world so you don’t have to. Every year, my talks are brand new, because every year the science is brand new.

I then compile all the most interesting, the most groundbreaking, the most practical findings to new videos and articles I upload every day, to my nonprofit site, NutritionFacts.org.

Everything on the website is free. There’s no ads, no corporate sponsorships; it’s strictly noncommercial, not selling anything. I just put it up as a public service, as a labor of love. New videos and articles every day, on the latest in evidence-based nutrition.

In my 2012 review, I explored the role diet may play in preventing, treating, and reversing our deadliest diseases. In 2013, I covered our most common conditions. And, in 2014, I went through our leading causes of disability. This year, I’d like to address some of our most dreaded diseases, and cancer tops the list in the latest Gallup Poll.
