Lakewood, OH – Nature’s Bin, a full service natural foods market in Lakewood, and long-time customer Anthony Yen, will be featured in the film “Forks Over Knives.” The film began showing at Cedar Lee Theatre, 2163 Lee Road in Cleveland Hts. on May 27, 2011.
“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.
The major storyline 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 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.
“We are thrilled to have had a part in this film,” stated Scott Duennes, executive director of Cornucopia/Nature’s Bin. “Nature’s Bin has been providing our customers with healthy foods for 35 years and we know the positive effects it has on our nutrition and overall health,” added Duennes.
Mr. Yen, a resident of Lakewood, Ohio and loyal Nature’s Bin customer, was part of a 20-year nutritional study by Dr. Caldwell Esselstyn of individuals with advanced coronary artery disease. Within months of Dr. Esselstyn’s program, participants’ symptoms improved dramatically. Twenty years later, patients who continued to follow Dr. Esselstyn’s plan remain symptom free. Dr. Esselstyn convincingly argues that a plant-based, oil-free diet cannot only prevent and stop the progression of heart disease, but also reverse its effects.
