I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.
Fresh and Exciting
Admirable film.
The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.
This movie changed my life. It changed my health, the way I view the world and provided me an entire new perspective and appreciation for how I treat my body by how I eat.
What the Health (2017) is a film that takes a stand on the current state of the food industry. The directors, Kip Andersen and Keegan Kuhn, use the film as a mode of exposing the meat and dairy industry and government-funded health organizations; they claim that animal-based products are just as cancerous as cigarettes, and are the reason why the western world is so disease-ridden. The way the directors' present their claims is weak and poorly constructed. During my viewing, I was questioning if the film was actually presenting reality. This was especially true during the last third of the film, which is almost completely dedicated to presenting personal stories of people who were ill but were "cured" by plant-based diets. Some of the interviewees said they felt more energetic and overall healthier shortly after. One interviewee apparently went from taking pills every day to being completely healthy in only two weeks after making the switch. I hate to dismiss this, but it seems too good to be true, and no scientific evidence was presented to show the new diet actually made a difference. The problem with this film is the directors' trustworthiness. I agree that processed foods may be causing illnesses, but until more studies are published showing that plant-based diets are better, I don't think you can completely undermine the benefits of animal-based products. Overall, I'd say this film is worth a viewing.
First of all you can not prove something with a single study. There needs to be alot more studies that show the exact same results before anyone in the health care can even begin to recommend a diet like that. Second how would the reaserch organisations go forward whitout their sponsors? More people would die from the different diseases than they do by not recommend the health changes that this "documentary" recommends. The facts are in many cases straight up wrong and presented in a way that makes the documentary look better. I can definently agree about some of the problems that they are presenting, like antibiotics, but they tanke away their trustworthiness when they only present their one beliefs and not the whole truth. It is straight up dangerous to recommend people dying from diseases to not take medication and only change their diet. No one with real cancer tumours have been cured from eating vegetables. But their beliefs in the ability to be cured is still a positive thing that should be cherished along with a proper medication. This is a horrificly one sided documentary and you need a high level of patience to finish it.
Almost everything in this video is wrong. I am not even joking. This is complete bull.
