Greg Connolly, Founder and CEO at Trifecta, announced that Netflix's documentary featuring a Stanford study on identical twins called "You Are What You Eat: A Twin Experiment" has gone viral and is now number three in the world trending on Netflix.
Nutrition studies tend to be very difficult because two separate individuals have their own unique and different DNA, live different lifestyles, and live in different environments. Because of that, it is challenging to study how two diets can affect two different people. In this particular study, Stanford took identical twins with identical DNA and fed them two separate diets, one a healthy plant-based diet and the other a healthy omnivore diet.
Trifecta provided the food for the first four weeks of the study, and then the study participants tried to cook healthy food on their own for the second four weeks. "We were thrilled to see that they lost the most weight in the first four weeks while eating the Trifecta meals," said Connolly.
Trifecta was selected for this study because they focus on animal welfare and the environment, ensuring they're sourcing their proteins from countries that are not clear-cutting the rainforest or farms that are not treating their animals poorly.
You'll have to check it out on Netflix to see this study's exciting research. But it's already in JAMA and many other medical journals.
About the Netflix Documentary Series "You Are What You Eat: A Twin Experiment"
"Identical twins change their diets and lifestyles for eight weeks in a unique scientific experiment designed to explore how certain foods impact the body." ~ Netflix Trailer
The Netflix Documentary Series "You Are What You Eat: A Twin Experiment" chronicled the recent Stanford Medicine-led trial and study of identical twins comparing vegan and omnivore diets; Twin research indicates that a vegan diet improves cardiovascular health. The series follows twin pairs: one was put on a vegan, or plant-based, diet (free of meat, seafood, eggs, and dairy), while the other ate an omnivore diet (including plants, meat, and animal products).
The study found that, after only eight weeks, the twins eating the plant-based diet experienced:
an increase in their life expectancy;
reduced visceral fat (the dangerous fat that accumulates around your organs);
reduced risk of heart disease;
and even a heightened sexual drive.
The results surprised even the Stanford research team.
Key Takeaway from Netflix's "You Are What You Eat: A Twin Experiment" Documentary Series
The entire series is both an experiment to identify the potential health benefits (or risks) of strictly eating a plant-based diet and an educational piece on the history of the Standard American Diet (SAD), which grew out of the post-World War II ideology that more calories were the answer to being well-nourished and strong. It also outlines the rapid growth of the agricultural farming sector and the rise of factory farming and ultra-processed food.
"Regarding the key takeaway, "You Are What You Eat: A Twin Experiment" concludes that plant-based diets have several health benefits, from reduced cholesterol and decreased inflammation to an increase in healthy gut bacteria." ~ Better YOU Supps
As mentioned above, Trifecta provided the food for the first four weeks of the study. Then, the study participants tried to cook healthy food on their own for the second four weeks. It was noted that the most significant weight loss occurred when the participants ate only the Trifecta meals that were provided.
