Fat Fiction

Documentaries are the real media. Doc filmmakers have time and time again become whistle-blowers on big money control over the general public. Jennifer highlights in this doc some compelling facts and insights about what we've been told about "low-fat" and "healthy" diets. An educational watch to enlighten us about obesity, and diets, who's and what big money is behind this huge industry. Everyone should watch this film.

Wow, this could have been done in a one minute short. This documentary views more like a long winded repetitive advertisement for the junk books the interviewees have written. It also makes several misrepresentations of the science (eg nina ticholtz airheaded claims). We have known and it has been widely reported for DECADES that it is not fat per se, but type of fats. It is over 30 years since the science, the prestige press and the popular press has noted that for example margarine is unhealthy compared to other fats. skip this mindless nonsense and spend two minutes at mayo clinic website article on healthy eating and dietary fat. You will learn ten times more than you will learn in this repetitive, longwinded promotional "documentary."

... olive oil, avocado and walnut smoothies to start; pork crackling, lardons and black pudding for main; followed by sugar free dripping ice cream - washed down with a bottle of Thunderbird Red, or Blue if it's the weekend.

Fat does not make you fat, this has been acknowledged for some time now, as has the the role of the corrupt sugar mafia - no harm in re-amplifying that, and it's welcome. The fact is that when you shuffle, the world will still be no wiser to what's good for you than the hunter-gatherer that set the standard some time ago.

I have been a cook for 18 years. I was taught that the Food Pyramid is our guide for cooking healthy cooking. We have turned people into junkies, craving sugar and Carbohydrates. Thank you for making this documentary.

This documentary is all about how the current nutrition guidelines are 100% wrong and are causing most of America to be fat and have diabetes. All of your favorite doctors are here.. all talking about how the government has, and continues to, tell you the exact wrong information and how many diabetics are getting sicker daily. It is a horrible scandal. I only hope one or two people see this and are saved by it.

There is, one problem, however, I think whomever directed this chose to make it a broad, low science based documentary. This of course, is not great for the position as it leaves it open to attack. There is tons of science backing Keto (mostly from the military) - that science should have been used. This thing should have been science study after science study.

I also think they made a mistake with not showing the results and instead doing a continuous glucose monitor example. Sure that was a short and easy way -- but not very persuasive. I know for a fact hundreds of people have used Keto to restore good health and lose weight so just taking a little more time to highlight them would have made for a better documentary.

Anyone who watches this and would like to know more should look this doctors up on "You tube" where they are featured in much more science heavy presentations.
