Forks Over Knives examines the profound claim that most, if not all, of the degenerative
diseases that afflict us can be controlled, or even reversed, by rejecting our present
menu of animal-based and processed foods. This film traces the personal journeys of Dr. T.
Colin Campbell, a nutritional scientist from Cornell University, and Dr. Caldwell Esselstyn, a
former top surgeon at the world renowned Cleveland Clinic. Inspired by remarkable discoveries
in their young careers, these men conducted several groundbreaking studies. Their separate
research led them to the same startling conclusion: degenerative diseases like heart disease, type 2 diabetes, and even several forms of
cancer, could almost always be prevented and in many cases reversed by adopting a whole foods, plant-based diet. In addition,
cameras follow "reality patients" who have chronic conditions from heart disease to diabetes, and are taught by their doctors to adopt
a whole foods plant-based diet as the primary approach to treat their ailments. (USA, 2011, 94 min., color)
