Haven't seen it, don't know about the first claim, but Supersize Me is definitely full of shit. Dude was a full-blown alcoholic and never disclosed that fact. Scene where the doctor tells him his liver looks like an alcoholic's is blamed on McD's and not the handle he was drinking every day
Anyway, this documentary is worth checking out. It talks a lot about how the CDC and Government has been lying to people about what they should be eating that led the switch from fats to carb. and advocates going back to what was working before that.
He even went on a fast food diet and lost weight, although I believe he didn't eat fries and stuck with diet soda, water, or an iced tea.

I didn't realize that about the Supersize Me guy.

If I was forced to eat McDonalds every day I'd probably be driven to drinking, too.
