So apparently there’s a new documentary out there that claims the complete opposite and basically just goes along with the “Fat = Bad. Carb = Good” idea. A doctor in it even claims that carbs cannot be turned in to fat by the body. It is called “What the health” and in the past week I’ve seen multiple people touting it (at [TuD](http://www.tudiabetes.org/forum/t/inflammatory-foods-is-there-any-science-behind-this/63415/25) for example, posted some links with counter-arguments there). Because, you know, there’s a REAL diabetes specialist in the movie who has done THE definitive research. Hence it must be true, right? I was wondering if any of you has seen ‘What the health’? What are your thoughts on the documentary? And do you know anything about this supposed ‘diabetes expert’ called Neal Barnard? --- _[View the full topic](https://forum.fudiabetes.org/t/interesting-medscape-opinion-article-update-pure-shakes-up-nutritional-field-finds-high-fat-intake-beneficial/1811)._
