Disease Prevention Through Diet - Film at Monrovia High

Tomorrow, Thursday, April 25 at 6:30 p.m., there will be a showing of the 90-minute documentary movie, Forks Over Knives - about how nutrition can prevent heart disease and other problems - at the Monrovia High School Auditorium. John Tanner, Ph.D., founder and CEO of Tanner Research in Monrovia, will introduce the film. Tanner suffered a near-fatal cardiac arrest three years ago. Since then, he has studied the causes of heart disease and "found that heart disease can be completely avoided through a proper diet, and that cancer, stroke, diabetes, high blood pressure, and about 30 other diseases can be reduced, avoided, or reversed by this same diet." The program will end with food tasting in the lobby "to show how delicious truly healthy food can be."
