WHAT THE HEALTH

Seems like you have to buy it, I found it free differently though.

About the video. They claim a bunch of studies show this and that. But there are studies that contradict those studies. There are studies showing eating a very healthy diet will not increase your lifespan that much, maybe a year or two... Of course, every system has its best before date, be it cardiovascular, insulin /blood sugar, deteriorating telomeres and loss of cells (alzheimers/parkinsons), mutation of cell DNA causing cancer, shit just gets rotten whether you eat good or not.

Charcuteries increasing incidence of colorectal cancer by 18%. The grammar here is misleading. The lifetime prevalence of colorectal cancer is 1/21, which is 4.7%, the probability increases to 5.62%, or one in 18. Just a quick fact I googled. So if you are genetically predisposed to this the chances are high already and get a little higher with charcuteries. If not then you are more likely to die from something else before colorectal cancer catches up to you, charcuteries or not.

The dietary cholesterol theory has been disproved many times.

Salmon is now not good for you? In the beginning of the video they claim the corporations win when they instill doubt in you. And then they claim salmon is not good for you. LATER (nice grammar here!) they claim it's farmed fish.

The rhetorics in the video are good. The grammar has its holes. The logic is imperfect. Why do they want to sell this video for money though? Why does someone believe taking your money will make you healthier? Can't you just write up the articles, present your argument, and do the public good?

Also a big minus for the speakers not making a thorough comparison of charcuteries in general. High vs low quality. The sausage made in your grandmas old village where they just use flesh of the cow vs factory made. Cheese? Are we talking about a $10 per lb chevre or that plasticy sliced "cheese" in vacuum packs in the grocery store, for cents? Wow, they first present to you how instilling doubt makes them win, then they make you doubt everything. Then they interview obese people in the 3-400lb range about how they "gotta take all deez meds".

Garbage.

Appreciate the summary.

I guess Cape left his buffalo cowboy style and his beard, and is now eating a plant based vegan diet. :P

On a different note, this video feels very 21st century, culturally. The illustrations and the sound, the music, the lack of grammar and logic, the poor fat dying people, the ultra awesome ultra marathon dude who totally transformed himself (in a way you won't be able to, HAHA!). This video may bring warm feelings as it tickles those parts of the brain associated with emotionality, so it is entertaining. Though let me present a different perspective on life. Look up the average life expectancy, and get used to it. You will die and you might die in a painful way. Deal with it and come to accept it, like an adult. What next? Look back in history and see for how many thousands of years we have had civilizations/societies, and wonder, are you really that much better than all those before you?

No, you are 100% unable to comprehend, in your lifetime, what the scientists have comprehended and brought to us through their research. Just ancient science, say ancient Greek, unless you have an IQ of 160+ (one in thirty thousand people have this, among 100 IQ average populations), the amount of information and the various fields of science will make it an unbearable process to try and learn it all, DESPITE the fact that only a fraction of that information has persisted, because they wrote the best stuff on stone and kept it damn well for a damn long time.

Though you would do yourself a favor if you became educated in the very basic ways; grammar, logic, and then rhetorics. You don't have to become a scientist, but if you spend some of your life in educating yourself, the time after that will be much pleasant. When you have the tools to analyze your surroundings without a bunch of emotionalities affecting you, you can make better judgements, regarding what to do with your life, why things are as they are. When you have just an ounce of rationality you will come to the conclusion that you can steer your life towards a goal. You won't become a magician and make the things you want appear in front of you. "You can't direct the wind, but you can adjust your sails". When you have a good foundation based on rationality, when you can think without getting emotional, you can solve those knots that cause all this cognitive dissonance. Sometimes youre lucky to inherit a way of thinking from your parents, siblings, friends, and you already have those tools. For those who don't, and even for those who do and want to improve, there are endless texts from people who can't profit from you since they've been dead for a very long time.
