73: What the Health Review

The newest documentary stirring up all kinds of controversy in the nutrition and health world is "What the Health". After getting multiple questions about my opinion on this film, I decided to get a panel of dietitians together to talk about our reactions to the documentary.    In this episode, I speak with Vincci Tsui, RD and Kathleen Hernder, RD, CDE who are two registered dietitians passionate about helping people live happy, healthy lives. Kathleen is a certified diabetes educator in addition to her training as a registered dietitian.   In this episode, we break down some of the scientific claims that Kip, the documentary narrator, invokes as proof that we should all be eating a vegan diet. We discuss the film with a critical eye, and try to show another side to the inflammatory and fear-based wording of the film.    Share this episode with friends and family to show a different side to the conversation.   Links mentioned and further resources: Kathleen Hernder's website Vincci Tsui's website Mayo Clinic review of cancer risk Another study about processed meat WHO 2015 statement about processed meat at colorectal cancer risk
