What the Health

The negative reviewers here did not watch the full documentary. This documentary is an evidence-based and that's fact. Non USA Government funded research (what I call agendasearch) is presented in this documentary. Without getting too biased I can tell you as a clinician what I have seen a plant-based diet do is amazing. "Look at the research and facts presented and go look for yourself." That was the message I received watching this.

I would have liked to see arguments from the other side, but when your living in a nation that has 30 million people with diabetes it is hard to listen to what has been preached during the rise of so many of these chronic and autoimmune diseases anymore. If you graphed meat consumption starting after WWI as one variable alongside the rise of disease they would both correlate nicely.

When we see a documentary that helps explain the rise of trillion dollar business we can begin to understand our health was never considered from the beginning. Watch this again and do some more digging on your own if you gave this a negative review.

I got to see the world premiere in NYC followed by a Q&A with the directors. I found it very captivating. The documentary entertains, shocks, informs, angers and inspires you. If you watch how they try to investigate health organizations and medical facilities, I think you'll be baffled by the frankness with which they refuse to discuss important information regarding saving people's lives. The personal stories in the film give you hope that there is a better way to how we are going about our diet and health care. We can have a better option than just suddenly dying of cancer or heart disease after a few decades of life if the information, such as in this documentary, would be exposed to the public. I hope people will take a look at the significance of diet after watching this. People would not demonize carbs and sugar as much if they would realize what they're calling carbs contains tons of fat. Pizza is not a carb; it is carbs with a bunch of fat from cheese and processed meat and oil. Potatoes get a bad wrap, but people cover them in butter, sour cream, cheese, bacon, salt, oil and any other unhealthy food you could think of. The combo of fats and carbs leaves your body unable to handle the carbohydrates as they cannot be absorbed into your cells; that is how diabetes arises. People don't even understand what a true high-carb diet entails: plain potatoes, rice, oats, lots of fruit, vegetables, whole grains, without adding salt, oil, meat and dairy to all their meals. I hope this film clears that up for people.

It is amazing how people reject new information and claim that this documentary is just vegan propaganda but they do not complain about the propaganda that raised them to eat meat, milk, cheese, and consume medicines for every little discomfort.

Loved the film.

As another reviewer has stated, I have reservations against the movie being soft on sugar and the effect it has. Now while there might be more factors rather than just the sugar, no one should downplay the effect of it. It's also strange that only the same people are being asked and all of them are very much anti-meat. Having said all that, it's also very strange that certain organisations get sponsored by firms they probably should warn consumers about.

So there is a lot going on and you probably shouldn't just take everything as truth, but don't dismiss it either. The movie may be able to make you think about the way you eat or maybe even change your diet alltogether. The one thing that is necessary while watching though, is being open minded. It does paint quite a dark picture on almost anything we eat, so it won't be easy. But also listen when it tells us about coorporations trying to sell us products they shouldn't be selling us ...

If you really care about your family you need to watch this The documentary was crowd funded by people that care ...

Wake up, you have been fed fake advertising about food for decades With the amount of science we understand that what we were told was healthy really isn't Driven by profits from unethical corporations... This made me angry and I hope you wake up too Self-educate, your family's life depends on it
