First, I am of the opinion that no diet is perfect for everyone. The only blanket statements I will make in regard to diet are:

1 - added sugar (especially HFCS) is not healthy for anyone
2 - "vegetable oils" are not made from vegetables and the chemistry needed to make these is so horrific that anyone who thinks these could possibly be healthy clearly doesn't know how they are made nor do they know about the inflammatory response your body has to them
3 - the worst thing you can do to promote insulin resistance (and all the wonderful things that follow like obesity, diabetes, heart disease....) is eat every few hours so that your body never burns any of the fat stores

The issue is not vegan/carnivore/omnivore. Nor is it purely HC vs LC necessarily. It is what carbs and how often and in combination with what other foods. The vegans will point to the low incidence of these metabolic diseases in the far east prior to the westernization of their diet where the people subsisted on 70% carbs with no diabetes. What they don't point out is those people only ate 2 or 3 times a day allowing their bodies to shift from sugar burning to fat burning every day. They also ate nearly no sugar. Westernizing a diet when discussing harm should not refer to adding meat. In reality it is adding the sugar, refined carbs, veg oils and increased frequency of eating.

The carnivores point to the Inuit and the hunter/gatherers in Africa who eat almost nothing but animal products and have no diabetes and almost no heart disease. As their diet gets westernized, they start getting these same diseases. Clearly it is not because of adding in meat since their diets consisted almost entirely of meat before. It is adding in the sugar, refined carbs, veg oils along with increased frequency of eating.

As for movies on Netflix, I just recently watched Sugar Coated.

Although it is not a LCHF movie, I would recommend watching The Widowmaker.

What's Up With Wheat is also on Netflix. I think it has good information, but I would not say it was a well done documentary.

In my Netflix queue, I have Fed Up. Not sure when I will be able to watch this, but hopefully soon.

My Big Fat Diet from the Diet Doctor is also on my list to watch. The link is here.

I'm currently watching "What The Health". It is fascinating, in that it is an absolute 180 from all that I read in this forum and elsewhere advocating LCHF. Additionally study after study is sited, pro vegan, that can be equally as convincing as anything that is read or heard that is pro animal. Caveats to the studies are pointed out just as was pointed out above in a post.

Furthermore just as the The American Heart Association, The American Diabetes Association, The American Cancer Society, The US Gov't and Big Pharma are "under attack" by the meat eaters for advocating fruits vegetable and grains so too are these same entities "under attack" by the "pro plant" groups for advocating animal products. Just as we read here (this forum) that these organizations are guilty of accepting money from major food manufacturers, so too is this film pointing out the same organizations are guilty of accepting monies from major food manufacturers. The only difference is the named manufacturers.

Along these same lines, I'm currently reading Diet Cults. The book is pointing out that every diet group, whether it is Vegan or Carnivore or anything in between, believes their way is - The One True Way.

There were hunters. And they survived. There were gathers. And they survived. We have evolved as a species. We still exist.

At present there are no randomized controlled studies showing veganism to be healthier to any other diet. There are, however, many randomized controlled studies showing LCHF to be healthier.

Here is a list

So my take on What The Health is this; I have all the respect in the world for people who choose veganism to stand on their principles- this is no easy feat and most people don't have the mental fortitude for that level of commitment to an idea. To make your own life much more complicated for other sentient beings takes love.

That being said, the vegan community has a tendency towards far reaching (and false) assertions that drive me crazy, and that was evident in the first minutes of this film. To make the 1=1 equivalency between meat of any kind and cigarettes is laughably hyperbolic imo. I couldn't take it seriously after that.

I also found it somewhat ironic that the gentleman who made the documentary admitted to being a hypochondriac that was "healed" by veganism. To my (bitter?) mind that reads a bit more like he traded one method of assuaging his health neuroses (intense over supplementation) for another (dietary restriction in the interest of having the "perfect" diet).
