NOT SCIENCE, just animal farming propaganda
All wrong, so so wrong. Anyone notice that when they introduce the functional medicine doctor as a “health food expert” he’s in a kitchen strategically surrounded by healthy fruits and vegetables (all healthy carbs LOW on the glycemic index!) to subliminally solidify him as a health-food expert (because we all know those are foods people SHOULD be eating); but as soon as they mention the word “carbs” they only display bread and pasta (high glycemic index). This is done to intentionally, but subtly, misrepresent and condemn all carbohydrates (aka plant-based diets). Any diabetic knows that not all carbohydrates are created equal. It’s manipulative input to get you to eat less vegetables and fruits and eat more meat & dairy to propagate the unhealthy keto diet—aka the animal farming industry—which literally has zero supporting evidence (except that keto weight-loss is only temporary AND the diet is shown to significantly increase your risk of inflammation, cancer, & other chronic diseases). So good luck with that cancer and heart disease, but hey, at least your glucose levels & weight dropped for a few weeks! And when they condemn plant-based diets as having no evidence, that is an outright lie—decades and decades of PEER REVIEWED SCHOLARLY RESEARCH supports plant-based diets. Opening credits say this film wasn’t funded by the food industry; so why didn’t they provide who DID fund it??? Because it was funded by the animal farming industry, whom everyone knows directly profits via the food industry. This documentary is only manipulative, money-making propaganda, NOT health awareness based on long-established PEER REVIEWED scientific facts. As somebody who actually cares about the well-being of others, I recommend you do your own reading of peer reviewed research. Peer reviewed research is vital to honest science: it prevents the scholarly publishing of manipulated research design that is intended to yield biased results (aka gaslighting research). A good place to start is The China Study, written by a nutritional scientist whose early life AND peer-reviewed research career began in animal farming and foods. The experts in Fat Fiction were paid by the animal farming industry; and are paid every time they publicly speak on behalf of the keto “animal farming” diet.
