What the Health - Comments & Tips
I suggest you watch it and hopefully learn something from it
It''s not really a documentary. It''s essentially a 90 minute OpEd piece telling you to go Vegan.
Some of the stuff in this is really stupid (guy calls the American Heart/Cancer/Diabetes Associations 1-800 number, which is certainly a call center, and asks the hard hitting questions). You won''t get an answer from that and your viewers are not this stupid (I hope). That said, a ton of the claims in this really moved me for purposes of my own health. I was pretty excited but decided to google some stuff to see where the scientific/medical community lies on these things. Turns out, a lot of the stuff in here is REALLY unproven, a copmlete lie, or really slanted which is extremely misleading to viewers. I have to say, now I think this is terrible because of these things. Recommend people read up here and elsewhere to get smart before buying into the claims here without doing other research: http://zdoggmd.com/what-the-health/ . Additionally, I think this is far more complicated than we think... and at this point I don''t trust any of these experts... 1/10 because of misleading and extreme slant without telling the watcher first.
...including some lies and overreacting. the few facts are abused to make it appear this '"opinion'" or better '"limited point of view'" is the only solution. No Question most people eat to big, unhealthy and to much meat. But are animal-eating animals unhealthier than plant-eating animals? Are they extinct? No! It has more to do with exercise. '"Casein is addicting'" No! All things you do (eat, move, learn, toilette...) trigger the same reward system in the brain for a reason. An Egg containing all nutrients to create a new life - in their opinion egg yellow kills you. lol It''s 2017 and they still think cholesterol from food is harmful for the body. What about insects animal protein? Why became the dominant species on this planet an everything eater? ... and so on. propaganda movie which could have been perfected with a narrator voice of Putin or Erdogan. The same kind of movie could have been made for '"only eat meat, plants will kill you'" learning sustainable nutrition not with this '"documentary'". you might want to go vegan for reasons, but not for this.
Funniest mockumentary watched this year. 1 egg = 5 cigarettes and cheese = heroin, hard hitting facts.
This documentary, as well as their previous one, Cowspiracy, is really well done. I do think some people involved with the American Heart Association, etc. have good intentions but often upper management puts profit over people. That, of course, is really unfortunately. The good news is that as a RN, I have seen people''s lives transform before me using a whole food, plant-based (vegan) diet. It''s not a magic cure-all but works remarkably well for most of the chronic diseases killing Americans. If you haven''t already, I would encourage everyone to try a plant-based diet for 30 days and then judge for yourself. Make sure to notify your physician, especially if you''re on high blood pressure or diabetes medications as some adjustments may need to be made. There are tons of great resources out their to guide you that I have included below. http://www.whatthehealthfilm.com/take-action/ http://www.pcrm.org/health/diets/kickstart/kickstart-programs
It was a good watch, again learned some new stuff, had some good points, good meaning behind some of it, but I don''t think this one was fully accurate, like fats, specially good fats leading to diabetes. I''ve researched so much about bad health etc and It comes down mostly because of too much sugar, specially processed sugar, that you can get in proceed carbs and too much leads to Insulin resistance, and an infected insulin leads to diabetes, and many more illness so I''ve got to disagree that fats are the main lead to diabetes or even course diabetes. I believe everyone is different so they Isn''t one diet for all, because everyone will have different effects. Example: A burger can be a salad to someone, and a salad can be a burger to someone and so on.
really poor documentary. I believe that nutrition is linked to disease, but thec the conclusion drawn here from interviews with doormen and gate keepers at these organizations price nothing. the guy is totally rude
a lot of unsubstantiated bull. Common since says balance is key. all his claims about dairy and meat were extreme cases. eating excess anything could get you killed. Also, the guy irritating different companies is not really an argument. anyway... I bet there are better "vegan" documentaries out there. so my personal recommendation would be skip this one.
'gt;'"We’re not taught about the power of food in medical school. No one is taught that the changes that we make with our diet are probably the single most powerful thing we can do to determine our destiny.'" This documentary was pretty interesting. I am not sure how I feel about certain statements like '"1 egg is as bad as smoking 5 cigarettes'" but I do think that we need to be careful about what we eat. The bigger issue shown was how all these non-profit organizations are for our health and they take donations/sponsorships from all these companies and lobbyists.
