Synopsis
Dit is een transcriptie van de lezing van dr. Chris Knobber over voeding en gezondheid. Knobbe ziet een belangrijke oorzaak van onze ziekten in de voeding, met name het gebruik van plantaardige oliën. In plantaardige oliën zit Omega-6 en die verstoort de gezondheid op een ingrijpende wijze. Met dierproeven die teruggaan naar McCollum toont hij de effecten van de verschillende diëten, gekoppeld aan de ziektepatronen, aan.
