What the Health is the groundbreaking follow-up film from the creators of the award winning documentary Cowspiracy. The film follows filmmaker Kip Andersen as he uncovers the secret to preventing and even reversing chronic diseases – and investigates why the nation’s leading health organizations don’t want us to know about it.
With heart disease and cancer the leading causes of death in America, and diabetes at an all-time high, the film reveals possibly the largest health cover-up of our time. With the help of medical doctors, researchers, and consumer advocates, What the Health exposes the collusion and corruption in government and big business that is costing us trillions of healthcare dollars, and keeping us sick.
In my opinion, What the Health is an eye opening film exposing the truth about what we eat and the companies behind it. Below, I will talk about all the pros and cons about this exposing film.
First off - pros. What the Health built a reputation of exposing companies' secrets. One of the things I really liked about the film was that they weren't afraid to show anything. A highlight of the film was how Kip actually uncovered how organisations like the American Diabetes, Cancer and Heart society and Susan G Komen organisation were actually taking money from the companies that were making Americans sick.
Another thing I liked was how much research they showed in the movie. They had interviews with a lot of experts and tried to interview many others. The studies they included backed up all their information. To top that all off was the people in the background who had diabetes, osteoporosis, arthritis, heart disease and were obese. Every once in a while, there would be a clip on their problems, their pills and how they live their life. At the end, all of the problemed people went on a plant based diet and were magically off their mediation in only two weeks. That may sound like it is too good to be true but miracles do happen and I believe that the power of a plant based diet can do that.
Now Cons. A negative about this film was the fact that they were basically persuading you to go vegan. Yes, there was evidence supporting their statements but there was a lot of it. I feel like they found everything they could and put it out in a way that screams 'GO VEGAN'.
That was the main thing I didn't like about the film. I want to hear your opinions though. Here is the trailer for the film:
