Humankind documentary: Diet and Health
A Thanksgiving Eve documentary about food, nutrition and health. Physicians and nutritionists discuss what we know about the ways a healthful diet can increase your long-term well-being.
Some physicians are taking a more proactive approach guiding patients to make better food choices.
As we begin to prepare a celebratory meal for tomorrow, a Humankind documentary explores the connection between diet and health.
