Why You Should Care About Nutrition

Most deaths in the United States are preventable and related to nutrition.

Subscribe to Dr. Gregerâ??s free nutrition newsletter at http://www.nutritionfacts.org/subscribe and get a free excerpt from his latest NYT Bestseller HOW NOT TO DIE. (All proceeds Dr. Greger receives from the sales of his books, DVDs, and speaking engagements go to support the 501c3 nonprofit that runs NutritionFacts.org.)

This video is part of an experiment to find ways to appeal to those new to the site. So much of what I do is targeted towards those who already know the basics, but in the user survey about a thousand of you filled out a few weeks ago, many of your asked for me to take a step back and do some videos targeted more towards those new to evidence-based nutrition.

So with the volunteer help of videographer Grant Peacock (http://www.gpi.tv/) I came up with ten introduction and overview-type videos for both new users to orient themselves, and for long-time users to use to introduce people to the site. If you missed The Story of NutritionFacts.org (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/the-s...) check that out, and stay tuned for:

â?¢ Taking Personal Responsibility for Your Health (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/takin...)
â?¢ The Philosophy of NutritionFacts.org (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/the-p...)
â?¢ Behind the Scenes at NutritionFacts.org (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/behin...)
â?¢ How Not to Die from Heart Disease (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/how-n...)
â?¢ How Not to Die from Cancer (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/how-n...)
â?¢ How Not to Die from Diabetes (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/how-n...)
â?¢ How Not to Die from Kidney Disease (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/how-n...)
â?¢ How Not to Die from High Blood Pressure (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/how-n...)

What weâ??re going to do is alternate between these broader overview-type videos and the regularly scheduled content so as not to bore those who just crave the latest science.
