Opinions on "What the Health " Documentary?

Question

Recently a documentary called "What the Health" came out, linking animal based diets to diabetes and heart disease. 
 To a certain extent, I get it (eating a bunch of fatty meats has gotta be bad for you)  but it seems to me the director is making outrageous claims about food and using scare tactics to change the way people think about food. For instance, he says that eating an egg a day is as bad as smoking 5 cigarettes a day due to the Cholesterol. 🤔

I've done some studying and it seems a lot of scientists are debunking his theories. I'm curious-  what did YOU think about it? Do YOU think he makes good points? What did you agree/disagree with?

Answer

It is junk science. It cites outdated studies with small sample sizes to come to conclusions that aren't represented by the majority of nutritional science. The documentary also presented facts in a misleading, biased way. 
Occam's razor applies in this case. The simplest explanation is that these few studies are flawed, and that this particular documentary is biased, rather than that all the other nutritionists, scientists and doctors are either lying or willfully ignorant. 
Food. Inc. is a much better documentary if you want an expose on processed foods.

Answer

Doesn't every documentary relate to scare tactics these days

Answer

I'm so over the Netflix educations.

Answer

This has been posted a few times and I comment the same thing every time, so I'll shorten my comment:
I'm a large animal vet, I've been involved in the agricultural industry for years. Prior to vet school I got a BSc in Agriculture so my familiar with the plant base stuff too. Throughout both degrees I took a number of nutrition courses including human nutrition (my back up plan was medical school) This documentary twists science and makes up total lies. It cannot be backed scientifically for about 80-90% of the ridiculous nonsense it spews. It's fear mongering. It's crap made up by organizations like PETA. It's nonsense and shameful. 
I've got friends who teach in vet schools, animal science classes and nutrition- a couple are using this documentary (and others like it) as an assignment for students to refute using scientific documents and actual research. That's how much crap that 'documentary' is full of. It twists real facts and makes up a bunch of it's own to terrify people into not eating meat. It's garbage.

Answer

I'm not convinced that the science behind what they have to say is sound.

Answer

They aren't wrong about a lot of things, but on the flip side they ARE wrong about a lot of things too 🤷🏻‍♀️
