The only way to convince people who are science savvy is to provide them with empirical data to back up the claims made. In this documentary the assertion that drinking vegetables and fruits cleanses the body. Why wasn't benchmarks to qualify the cleanse was actually working? Feeling better and healthier are subjective and ambiguous. When individuals are obese weight loss can serve as a benchmark but for non-obese people losing weight isn't necessarily a good thing and in most cases it is bad, especially if more than 1 pound per week.
Beyond this Mr. Cross described his lifestyle as one of excess. Drinking too much, smoking cigars, not resting well, overworking. These are HUGE factors in one's health and they were barely mentioned in the film.
The fundamental problems here are 2 things.
1. Excess. Binge drinking alcohol, neglecting sleep & exercise and frequently eating fast food.
2. Balance. Drinking liquid anything long term is bad because its not balanced. Metabolism will be slowed down tremendously and when you return to actual food the weight will mostly likely return.
The 2 characters in the movie are not at all relatable to most people. Not many people are or meet millionaires who can take months off work to juice fast in another continent.
I'm also curious to what his diet was like after the juice fast ended.
