The Magic Pill

I think this is a must watch and reading the majority of the other reviewers they have completely missed the point. This documentary does not ram its believes down your throat but reiterates the point that if you eat crap your likely to become ill. It makes a some great points that you should eat whole foods, things you recognise that exist naturally, not heavily processed. Dr. Andreas Eenfeldt ( dietdoctor.com) who appears in the film has done so much for this movement. Another great point it makes is that people followed the dietary guidelines they were told as what to reduce and what to increase in their diet but this has not changed the stats of heart diseases, diabetes and obesity. The films message to me is; except for manmade and super-heated fats stop worrying about them and stop eating so much sugar and carb products that are super processed, you will feel better and live longer.

5/28/18. I like watching documentaries about healthy living. I especially like those about nutrition. While this documentary includes quite a few gems about how important nutrition is to our health, the message of paying more attention to what we eat is muddied by the push for a ketogenic diet. Only a few cases are used to support the benefits of such a diet, which seems to help those with certain medical issues, and not necessarily meant for mainstream consumption. It's hard to expect the average person to watch this and try to figure out which facts are most useful and which may be extrapolations. Too bad.

I'm a fan of the ketogenic diet. Meat and vegetables are a really good cornerstone of a healthy human diet. This movie did help solidify that fact for me! But there is no reason to choose organic foods, and upon research the creator is a promoter of some serious junk science (earthing, anti-flouride, etc.).

This documentary helped my family make a huge change in our eating habits. I would love to see an update version to fortify even further the need to access our eating lifestyle

A very well researched documentary on a topic that I myself have experienced.
