''Forks Over Knives'' (2011) is an American documentary film that advocates a low-fat, whole-food, plant-based diet as a way to avoid or reverse several chronic diseases. The film recommends a vegan diet, but calls it "whole foods plant-based" to stress that processed food should be avoided as well as food of animal origin.〔Loren King, ("Documentary argues virtues of a vegan diet" ), ''The Boston Globe'', 16 May 2011.〕〔Jeannette Catsoulis, ("Soul Food, Vegan Style" ), ''The New York Times'', 5 May 2011.〕〔Kasey, ("Exclusive interview with Lee Fulkerson, writer and director of 'Forks Over Knives'" ), ''TDIV'', 21 December 2011.〕 The film was directed by Lee Fulkerson and produced by John Corry. Brian Wendel was the executive producer. The DVD was released on August 30, 2011. ==Summary== Through an examination of the careers of American physician Caldwell Esselstyn and professor of nutritional biochemistry T. Colin Campbell, ''Forks Over Knives'' suggests 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 film also provides an overview of the 20-year China–Cornell–Oxford Project that led to Professor Campbell's findings, outlined in his book, ''The China Study'' (2005) in which he suggests that coronary artery disease, diabetes, obesity, and cancer can be linked to the Western diet of processed and animal-based foods (including dairy products).〔(【引用サイトリンク】 url=http://www.forksoverknives.com/about/synopsis/ )〕 Director Lee Fulkerson stated in an interview with Canada's ''National Post'' that the diet described in the film is called "whole foods plant-based," rather than vegan (a term he deliberately did not use). He said that this is because it avoids the use of highly processed foods, as with a whole foods plant based approach, you "want to use minimally processed things." 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Forks Over Knives」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
