Stefani
Bardin is the talented media maker behind this video. In collaboration
with Dr. Braden Kuo who conducted the trial at Massachusetts General
Hospital, she filmed the “M2A: The Fantastic Voyage”, a video that for
the first time in human history actually brings us into the digestive
tract while the food is being digested, and compares the difference
between how the body processes synthetic food and real food. The M2A
pill, which has a wireless camera, and the SmartPill which comes with
sensors, both track how liquids and solids ingested are processed by the
body.
We
see how blue Gatorade stains the stomach lining because of the
artificial color added (a petrochemical derivative!), and how Ramen
noodles are not effectively broken down in the digestive tract (they
containTBHQ which is related to butane) … ugh, gross! The “whole food
meal”, while definitely more nutritious than the junk food alternative,
is still not ideal, but at least the body knows what to do with it!
This goes to show you that even incremental changes in your diet can
either heal or further complicate your digestion…
So, next time a
medical doctor urges you to give your sick child a colorful Gatorade to
“replenish his electrolytes” when he or she has a fever (advice that
makes me recoil in horror every time), I urge you to email him or her
this video … and then find yourself another doctor!
