Hi, I’m Stefani Bardin and this is a picture of me sitting in a lab in Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston in late June, right before my Collaborator Dr. Braden Kuo of Harvard University and I are about to embark on the first ever clinical trial to look at the impact of processed food versus whole food on the human body. The content for this trial – the 2nd trial was conducted in September of 2011 is the basis for my project.
M2A: The Fantastic Voyage Preliminary Sketch
This is the M2A Capsule which stands for mouth to anus. It contains a camera, light-emitting diodes (LED) and a transmitter. Like Bluetooth technology. It wirelessly transmits images from the GI Tract to a receiver pact worn by the subject. It has an eight hour battery life and creates a stop motion video from the mouth to the top of the small intestine.
(Records 8 hours of video in the GastroIntestinal tract)

This is the Smartpill which also has batteries and transmitter but instead of a camera it has sensors which numerically measures the pressure, which is the contraction of the elementary canal, plus pH value and temperature of the GI tract. The batter life is indefinite. For our trial this summer we used the following two meals:
The Protocol Meals:
Processed
Blue Gatorade
Top Ramen Chicken
Gummi Bears
Whole Foods
Hibiscus Gatorade
Homemade Chicken Stock
with handmade noodles
Pomegranate/Cherry Juice Gummi Bears

One subject ate the processed meal the other subject ate the whole food meal.

The subjects swallowed the pills and then ate the meals.
Subject I – Processed Food
Subject II – Whole Food
[Stefani Bardin]
The subject and meals were switched in September. So the subjects in effect became the controls for the study as well.

Here are our prelinary findings in June.

You can see the green tinting of the GI tract on the left. That would be from the blue Gatorade. It gets it’s color from the artificial ingredient Brilliant Blue or Blue #1 which is derived from aromatic hydrocarbons from petrochemicals. That’s why the presence of the color is still recognizable. It’s made from oil. Since artificial colorings and flavorings are considered the intellectual property of a company, manufacturers are not required to divulge this information since it could do economic harm to their business if somebody stole their trade secrets.
After 20 minutes…

We made the noodles on the right with water, salt, eggs and flour from the farmers market.
The noodles on the left contain among the other 15 ingredients TBHQ which is the acronym to describe tertiary butylhydroquinone which is an Antioxidant that comes from petroleum and is related to Butane – you know the gas that is used to fill cigarette lighters.
After more than 2 hours…
[Stefani Bardin]
Notice how the shape of the Ramen noodle is still apparent on the left. And the hand made Ramen noodles on the right are no longer recognizable as noodles even after 2 and 1/2 hours, that’s because top ramen is made to survive Armageddon. Our home made ramen noodles are made to be eaten.
There are 32 hours of video footage from both trials…

The incentive for this project is to try to present unseen and often veiled information about our food system in unexpected ways so the public is armed with as much knowledge as possible in order to make informed chooses about the food they eat. The collateral benefit has been to actively influence medical and scientific protocols. Artisan doctors and Artisan scientists should work together more often. Thank you so much for watching this video.
