    "The Game Changers" - Should You Eat Meat

    As general rule, documentaries need to be fact checked. Unfortunately most have a biased agenda and the producers  will bend the facts or just lie in order to support their beliefs. This is the opposite of science. A good scientist states his/her beliefs and then conducts a rigorous investigation to prove it wrong. The good scientist then publishes the findings whether or not it supports his/her beliefs. This did not happen in "The Game Changers".  Here are some quick notes on the lies they use in "The Game Changers": 1. LIE: Gladiators were vegetarians and prized fighters with the best medical care. TRUTH: Gladiators treated like animals or slaves led to slaughter for entertaiment. They were fed a plant based diet similar to what they would feed their animals in order to fatten them up. The fat was intended to protect them from minor cuts and strikes. It was an insult back then to call someone "barley eater". Meat was cherished and considered a privilege. One of the physicians at the time, Aelius Galenus critized the diet and the training of the gladiators. He said it was not proficient.  2. LIE: Carbs are the main energy source and without them you will experience chronic fatigue. TRUTH: Carbs are only the main energy source during intense exercise. Even then the energy is split 50% from carbs and 50% from fat. It is extremely silly to claim carbs are the body's preferred energy source, especially with the Keto Diet being all the rage. More people, now more than ever, know once your body is fat adapted it runs efficiently with fat providing up to 95% of a person's energy. Your body can also convert fat into carbs. This means you do not need to eat carbs. 3. LIE: Meats cause vasoconstriction and endothelial inflammation. TRUTH: There are no peer reviewed studies that state this. In fact, the study they site in the film says in the title "Saturated Fatty Acids do not impair Endothelial Function". The study goes on to say no significant differences were shown between saturated fatty acids and monounsaturated fatty acids. 4. LIE: Humans do not have any specialized biological mechanisms to digest meat. TRUTH: Humans (omnivores) have more in common with carnivores than herbivores. Herbivores have an extremely long intestinal track, and some like cows, have multiple stomachs. In comparison humans have a much shorter intestinal track and one stomach. Herbivores have only flat teeth. Humans have sharp and flat teeth. Herbivores have a high ph level for digesting tough plants. Humans and carnivores both have a low ph level.  5. LIE: The antioxidants we need are found almost entirely in plants. TRUTH: Most antioxidants in plants have very low bio-availability. The most important antioxidant, glutathione, is made by the human body. It is really the only one we need, and is comprised of the amino acids glyciene, glutamine, and cysteine, which come from protein. I will stop there. The film is rife with inaccuracies, horrible anecdotal stories from athletes and celebrities, and lots of blatant lies. I hope you enjoy the podocast!
