00:01 - Everybody knows the average American diet

00:03 is not very healthy.

00:04 We sometimes call it S-A-D for sad.

00:07 - People don't realize that what we put in our mouths

00:12 is more important than anything else.

00:14 - Your dietary pattern can change your biology

00:16 in a profound way.

00:18 - Is it a game changer?

00:19 - I've tested many diets over the years

00:22 looking for the healthiest ones.

00:24 A major challenge in nutrition studies

00:26 is everyone is unique and responds differently

00:29 to the same food.

00:30 So what if we got people who are genetically the same?

00:33 - Just like us.

00:35 - Twins share the same DNA,

00:40 so we get to see if it's about your greens, not your genes.

00:43 - For the next eight weeks,

00:45 we'll be investigating the pros and cons

00:47 of a healthy diet that contains meat and dairy

00:49 versus a plant-based diet.

01:12 - The quality of our food,

01:15 it's changing in front of us rapidly.

01:18 - We're as sure processed meat causes cancer

01:20 as we are that cigarette smoke causes cancer

01:22 and plutonium causes cancer.

01:24 - You can't trust these labels.

01:26 If they got about this much room, then that's free range.

01:28 - Every time you eat a stick,

01:30 a little puff of smoke goes up in the Amazon.

01:32 - Many of the same things that promote human health

01:34 are also good for the environment.

01:36 - If you ask any human being,

01:37 do you wanna save the planet or destroy the planet?

01:38 I mean, come on, it's a no-brainer, right?

01:41 - Look at you all.

01:42 - I can see some differences just by looking at you.

01:44 - We actually saw profound changes

01:46 based on what diet they were eating.

01:48 - Those lines look very different, don't they?

01:50 - That's a huge difference.

01:51 - In just eight weeks.

01:52 - It shocked me.
