‘What the Health’ is an unscientific, unobjective, cherry picked load of crap. Documentaries like these are exactly the reason we need public trust in experts. Many people are of the opinion that nutrition science is the one field where experts can’t be trusted, and anyone with an opinion and access to the internet can be an expert. As an RD, it’s maddening.
One huge problem you have is that for every Dietitian there are a hundred nutritionists and Joe public have no idea that the two are completely unrelated. Nutritionist is not a protected term, anyone can and do, call themselves a nutritionist and they answer to no one. It's pseudo-science at its worst, it's dangerous bullshit but the punters don't know this.
It's amazing 'science' always seems to 'find' whatever it is funded for, and never the oppsite. Drich.
