Despite the billions of dollars of funding and research into new so-called cures, we continue to suffer from a raft of chronic ills and everyday maladies. “Food Matters” seeks to uncover the business of disease and at the same time explore the safe, cheap and effective use of nutrition and supplementation in preventing and often reversing the underlying causative aspects of disease and illness.

Watch how the Cubans struggle with power shortages, no air conditioning and no working elevators when their supply of oil plunged to record lows from 13 million tons to 1 million tons. Stare in bewilderment as they overcame the biggest and most immediate problem of food scarcity. Since then, Cuba became the first country in the world to go 90% organic in their agricultural systems. Fascinating, educational and empowering, this movie is a must-watch for all. To find out more, click here.
