What Food Matters Is About
The documentary argues that modern food and the pharmaceutical industry between them manufacture illness. Its case runs like this: food has lost its nutritional value, additives have multiplied, and when people fall ill the only answer offered is a drug. The people who speak in the film say that a plant-based diet and high doses of vitamins can treat chronic illness and even cancer. It was directed by James Colquhoun and Laurentine ten Bosch. The methods the film advocates have not been accepted by medicine: there is no established evidence that megadose vitamin therapy or the Gerson regimen the film promotes cures cancer, and the film has been heavily criticised on exactly that ground. It is worth knowing that before watching.
