Disclaimer : Started watching it but I only got 8 minutes in. Cause I was like..."whaaaaat??"

They were saying it wasn't the sugar making you fat but fat that makes you fat. Within those first 8 min., the film seemed to be the counter documentary to, "That Sugar Film".

I'll probably finish watching it later, to hear both sides of the story! Always good to be aware of these things. :P

Enjoy! If you choose to watch it!

    We've all seen it. And trust me, we had the same reaction as you did.
    If you're paying for Netflix, I wonder if you could get your money back for trying to sell you watchable documentaries which are nothing of the kind....?

    This ^^^ video is hilarious!!!

    The 'What the Health' video is simply a propaganda piece done by militant vegans - 'nuf said.

    I'd love to see it for a laugh, but I won't pay for it. I don't want them to benefit from me watching. LOL

    For folks who just can't get enough (you know who you are ;)...) here's a rejoinder to ZDogg by a vegan advocate.

    Yep, there's a religious war on.. ..

    I got through 30 minutes and the ENTIRE time I was silently rebutting and making mental notations about their "facts" or "sources". I finally gave up. This is one of the most slanted pieces of "journalism" that I've seen in a long time. Just awful.

    I'm going to have to watch at least some of this... simply because all my favorite podcasters are posting responses to it. I haven't watched any of them yet, because I want to know what they are rebutting first!!

    I applaud those who made it past the 5 minute mark. I'm not sure how long I was watching but I would be surprised if I made it past 5 minutes. As soon as I realized what the "health" was I turned it off...I don't need that negativity in my life. Lol

    I too watch the drs. reaction, and knew I couldn't be bothered with the propaganda piece. The Dr. is hilarious for sure.

    Did not make it to 5 minutes....spent 10 minutes trying to figure out how to delete that mistake from my play list.

    I only made it 5 minutes into it. I had watched, "What's With Wheat" and then, "What the Health" popped up, so I thought it would be something good. I hate that Netflix has taken away the ratings/comments, because I could have known what I was getting into and not have wasted 5 minutes of my life I will never get back :D

    The nutritional holy wars get so heated that we tend to lose sight of the many areas of agreement, such as:

    1. Hydrate.
    2. Avoid Frankenfood.
    3. Mix in ideology liberally and drink my flavor of Kool-Aid.
    4. .....
    5. ........(uh, there must be more.... no?) :s
