Does anyone have an opinion on this one, also on Netflix?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/What_the_Health

It's pro-veganism and the narrator is a goofy manchild, but has credible (to me anyway) medical experts.

If you read reviews about What the Health online, you'll see that lot of it is vegan propaganda. They've manipulated facts (like mentioning relative probability as opposed to absolute) so that they seem more dangerous than it actually is.

Yeah, I second that. I starts out very credible but if you examine what they say, especially regarding sugar and carbs it becomes very clear that it's vegan propaganda and skewing its facts heavily

It was funded by a vegan propaganda group and has been widely discredited.
