I feel like if you go down any nutritional / medical rabbit hole deep enough, you'll find videos making outrageous claims. And that's not because one topic or another is true or false or bullshit but it's because that's how people are able to make money. By making these false amazing claims, more people watch and give views. Outrageous claims are made because they are the optimal solution to the problem : making money.
