sorry sir but this is so so wrong 🫡, so wrong in fact I'm leaning on the fact the last paragraph is sarcasm😂
I am an open-minded skeptic and I challenge what I think I know, rather than try to confirm it. But that doesn't mean I disagree with the 'establishment' or 'mainstream' on lots of things. Only on a few things. Only where the evidence leads me.
In particular, I agree with mainstream nutrition science. And I know far more about it than I let on (even though I don't practice it). I've followed it since the 70s and have too many books. I was raised a vegetarian by an SDA mother who preached the Ellen White "health message" to us kids growing up. I remember the science even then showing SDAs living something like 9 years longer than everybody else. My great grandmother (an SDA) lived to 99. I'm a member of the CR society and used to post on that newsgroup for years. I let myself lapse in the last 15 years and let myself be convinced by passing fads, articles, and meta-analyses that meat is good for you and that keto is good for you (and I ended up with a property that had sheep on it so I learnt to farm sheep) and I sorta thought the mainstream view had moved past low-fat diets on to low-carb ones. But I dug into it today and... nope. I was just fooled by what has become popular online.
You keto diet people are going to die of heart attacks in your 50s and 60s. You will seem healthy right up until the end. Fit, lean body mass, top form. Then pop, you're dead. The science was in 50 years ago and is only more certain now. Don't be fooled by supplement salesmen or beef industry lobbyists. If you want a social media influencer, listen to nostr:npub108pv4cg5ag52nq082kd5leu9ffrn2gdg6g4xdwatn73y36uzplmq9uyev6 . Veganism is very close to the most healthy diet and he'll probably live past 100. I will still tease him about it though. Fucker... trying to outlive us... how dare he!

How dare you! 😆
Imagine non-ironically claiming you mistrust the mainstream but not about the food pyramid.
The food pyramid was not mainstream nutrition science. It was USDA propaganda. The USDA represents the commercial farming industry, not the eating customers.
From what I gathered, you believe high cholesterol will kill people early. That's the premise for the food pyramid and the propaganda push against real foods from the 70s - margarine instead of butter and the like.
A lot of people have real health issues due to the mainstream propaganda right now, believing the human body does not need animal products to function at 100%. Virtue-signalling until the body starts breaking down.
They weren't wrong about the cause of atherosclerosis, they were just wrong about how to fix it.
