What the Health Netflix Doc

It was downright comical. And the number of people talking about it on Facebook as fact is unreal

Were they insinuating that you can just eat however much you want without ill effects?

Yep

I was visiting my mom, and we watched it (turned it off after realizing what a radical vegan hack piece it was). It was so terrible that I put on a 3-hour Dr Phinney lecture just to clean my mental palate.

I read about a full debunking forthcoming. I'll post if it's out.

I've had people recently tell me to watch it and even my wife got brainwashed for 2 hours following it before I explained to her that it was created by vegans.

If they had actual unbiased views from both sides it would be a documentary, that was just a film with a clear agenda.

Also, the lady with debilitating arthritis who couldn't walk. Two weeks later she's off every med and hiking around the block

What the Health Netflix Doc by mindbreaker
So I watched the first 15 minutes of this documentary and I was shocked at how misleading this documentary is.

It only got worse from there. I watched the whole thing, and I honestly started to think it must be satire, but they were actually serious.

The best part was when they said, and I quote, "eating 1 egg a day is worse for you than smoking 5 cigarettes a day."

I agree and like i said a vegan lifestyle isn't bad heath wise.

Personally i run a 40% lean meat 40% non starchy vegetable 20% fruit diet and im healthier than i have ever been at 38

My biggest problem was the whole refined sugar is cool aspect. Non natural and added sugar is top five one of the worst things you could put in your body. The fact they tried to make out it wasn't bad literally put me in a rage.

I finally got around to watching this. Fascinating misuse of %'s. Besides

The host, I love this guy. He will call the ADA and ask why they promote "x" and then list off some random study that the poor receptionist doesn't even know about. He makes it as some giant conspiracy that animal products are killing us, and it's been known for 50 years. He states his questions a bit too question-like. Oh! plus, he drives a hippie van! (score more points).

It brilliantly shows horrible animal factory farms.

Now we are on the ADA interview, he is totally coming across as "WTF" stating studies that show associations only. I am betting his "cure" of T2D with studies are the Ornish studies that also have the diet group reduce stress, excersise, and change their way of life while the control group did not do any of these...but we wouldn't know that.

Now we have a Stevie-O interview - Nice.

Corporate sponsorship - I didn't know M&M's produced a meat product, gosh that was fun to spot.

I love nutritionfacts.org founder Dr. Michael Gregor all in this. The "How Not To Die" author looks like the standard of health... /s

Now on to the Pharma conspiracy - I wouldn't call it a conspiracy, but more of a where the money goes.

Now we are going in deep to factory farming!

Now let's ask the overweight guy if we can get all proteins from plants...let alone not mention the bioavailability of said protien from plants vs meat (it is more available in meats).

First fiber mention! lets do this! (it is not an essential nutrient).

"The biggest, strongest animals on this planet are all herbivores" - let's not bring science into this now....ahem, genetics? Stomachs? All of these herbivores get their energy via fats, (gut bacteria breaking down cellulose converting it into short chain fatty acids) it is just a couple of more steps that they do not mention.

Chimp mention (figured it was coming soon) Actually, our stomach acid is much stronger than omnivores. But let us go back to the overweight doctor and find out!

Lower cholesterol - but total cholesterol isn't associated with lower cvd, it actually goes up.

Now showing creepy woman walking without a stroller again, doesn't she look healthy!

Dr. Gregor convincing me to take up sugar instead of meat.

Two weeks plant based and now completely off her meds, all of them....I bet. No real doctor would recommend that in two weeks, maybe two months.

Vitamins - b12 from supplements...that's natural. What about K2? or other fat soluble vitamins? No mention of those essential nutrients.

muscles and herbivore mention again.

Very fun little show. Too bad it was incredibly misleading and had a flair for the dramatic.
