Note from TED: We've flagged this talk, which was filmed at an independent TEDx event, because it appears to fall outside TEDx's curatorial guidelines. A number of claims made in this talk, like MSG causes “inflammatory symptoms,” and that genetically modified foods are likely to bring about “infertility, immune issues, accelerated aging, and even major organ damage” would not be considered legitimate by most scientists. The guidelines we give our TEDx organizers are described in more detail here: storage.ted.com/tedx/manuals/tedx_content_guidelines.pdf ______ This talk was given at a local TEDx event, produced independently of the TED Conferences.

About TEDx, x = independently organized event In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
