There's literally a section in the documentary where his doc is like 'You're getting liver damage from this diet. I don't believe it. I've only ever seen this from alcoholics.'

Media and documentaries are not scientific studies! But they get people talking. And they get scientific studies funded because you can point to the movie's success and say "look, this is an important subject". And they get politicians regulating because they can see the people care. Whether the movie was actually influential or a product of the zeitgeist I'm not sure.
