I was hoping one of the sets of twins would be Danny Devito and Arnold Schwarzenegger.

Obviously it isn't out yet but i hope they do this test in other countries as well. I don't think any of us are shocked to find out that American food, whether it be produce or meat, is packed full of preservatives, growth hormones, and all this other stuff that's banned in other places. i'd love to see them do this experiment in other countries where it is a lot safer to eat their produce/meat to see if it has the same effects.

The trailer's conclusion gives the impression that it's more about advocating a 'save the planet/vegan' agenda rather than objectively assessing which diet is more beneficial. How does saving the planet relate to determining the best diet for personal health?

Right message delivered in the wrong way.
One thing should be clear. This is a show and not a documentary on a scientific study.
The majority of the time has been spent advertising people and companies and little time dedicated to the actual food that actually can improve your diet. How to compose a nutritious dish? Which options do people have in different states? No info about it.
The results? Not even presented entirely. Just a few have been chosen to be shown. Again..Netflix makes shows not science

[ryancondie]

It’s quite clear where this doc is going. I want the study without the agenda. Doesn’t seem unbiased from the get go.

[janeygagiano]

Very clever to release it on Jan 1st when everyone would be making a new year's resolution to be healthier.

[siamcc]

I'm watching this now and it is less about the supposed experiment with twins and more about how bad the non-vegan diet is, including some outright lies. I'm far from being anti-vegan but there is a better way to criticise the meat diet than telling utter lies.

[AryanSingh-ypdj]

Another propaganda against meat eaters

[kellypollet]

I’m disappointed that there’s no mention of Roundup (glyphosate) and GMO and the dangers of them, and to avoid the dangers, go organic and NON-GMO. Also, how important it is to eat organic “Pasture raised” poultry and eggs. If a plant based diet isn’t organic or non-gmo, that means it’s been sprayed with roundup and has been GMO’d, then it’s not healthy to consume.

👎 Watched all 4 episodes…what a waste! They wasted a perfectly good opportunity with 4 sets of twins with different sex and race, instead tried so hard to push their agenda. Cherry picked results. They should have just let the results speak for themselves, but “oh since vegan diet is not nutritionally packed and you have less energy, people blame the vegan diet…blah blah”

[Aya-Amira]

I would have finished the documentary if they focused more on the actual experiment instead of wasting time talking about how black people are unhealthy because of slave owners. Get a grip

[ShaLks]

Would have been interesting to have the experiment with triplets for a control group

[islandhopper]

The title and premise got my attention, however 30 minutes into the series it was very apparent this was straight up vegan propaganda. If you are a meat-eater, avoid this at all cost.

[billyking]

Need a documentary how some of our vegetables and fruits are grown because it’s not meat alone

[nickmagrick]

Seems like they have the conclusion in mind before they even started

[ayeright]

The carnivore diet is the best.
Nothing but meat, eggs and water.
Perfect for body.

[asteven]

I’ll definitely watch because I’m interested but I hope they devote more time to the number of additives and growth hormones put into American food. I do think that’s a contributing and often overlooked aspect of American diets. Oh and the fact we don’t all have access to the same quality of food in this country, esp in rural and urban environments.

Somehow, if you check the actual paper, they did not address the muscle gain/loss, fat distribution or microbiome at all.

One day people will realise you can’t trust Netflix for reliable information, especially on diet

[docsays]

I suspect a little researcher bias here. 🤔
