I agree, it is nice to have something get that much attention though they should ensure that it can be backed up properly. Overall I think it looks bad and is bad for the movement when we/people are untruthful - veganism doesn't need lies to make sense.

Hope it does well. I had issues with some of the ways they presented medical information in the first one (primarily their illustration on blood triglyceride levels), but I understand you have to rely on hyperbole and bold claims when you’re reaching a broad audience. Nuance is probably left for longer form discussion and talks with practicing physicians.
Look forward to seeing it. Especially with the big names that latched on.
