There is anecdotal and then their is established scientific protocols. We all can cherry pick examples to try and prove our point.

We know that fast food diets is terrible for the average person. For him to brag about eating McDonalds is deplorable. Most people don't have billions of dollars and can afford the the latest and greatest that modern healthcare has to offer to offset our terrible habits. And again, it is called anecdotal. There will always be other factors like genetics.

If he wants to influence people he should release his medical records and tell us the last time he ran a few miles.
