It’s not just social media that has found a flaw in Game Changers. 🌱Ī post shared by James Smith PT on at 8:03am PDT For example: – Beet juice will not increase your bench press 19% – A peanut butter sandwich is not a superior choice of protein than 3 boiled eggs – there’s a strongman who’s gained 25kg since being plant based 🤥💉 Arnie is in it for about 9 seconds. The end. Gonna save you all 2 hours of your life… A lot of what is presented in this documentary is quite simply not true nor factual. James also took issue with the documentary’s claim that peanut butter was a superior source of protein to eggs.
He calls out a few specific facts presented including claims that drinking beetroot juice could increase someone’s bench press by 19%. In a recent post, James says that many of the ideas presented in the documentary are untrue. Max doesn’t think there is anything wrong with a plant-based diet. He does, however, take issue with how Game Changers presents the facts – as does US personal trainer and author James Smith, who goes into an even more detailed critique of the film on Instagram.
Don’t get your science from documentaries, folks-movies are made to appeal to emotion, not provide a balanced scientific argument. That’s not to say that there aren’t some true things said in the documentary (that’s how a bait and switch maneuver works-offer some truth, and then lots of 💩) but I would not recommend it for anything other than entertainment, and even then I’d say look elsewhere. Unfortunately, it’s a one-sided, agenda driven narrative of cherry picked science. Did you hear? There’s a new documentary on Netflix making the rounds advocating an exclusively plant based diet for athletic performance and health, making sweeping negative claims about any and all meat consumption.
