In the 50 years we have done the most to replace healthy, natural saturated fats with seed oils and horribly oxidized fats, we have become the sickest & fattest generation of this country’s history.
The prevailing sentiment on this topic and academic “science” is extremely poor and I’ve never seen anything that didn’t start with huge presumptions that were tied to the same errors.
The entire movement of “saturated fats cause heart disease” is started from an explicitly fraudulent study. Can’t remember the name of the scientist (he was on the cover of Time Magazine tho), but he showed an extensive study of 9 countries on a plot showing the more saturated fats in their diet, the more cardiovascular disease… only many years later we found out he manipulated the data, and had actually studied *23* countries, and just removed all the data that screwed up his pretty graph.
The science around diet has always been poor and requires tons of assumptions because of its nature. Controls are virtually impossible. This it suffers from both bad incentives and as well as cultural group think that reinforces the “standard diet” thinking.
The simple truth is available to who anyone who simply changes their diet and cuts all this poisonous, oxidized crap out of their body, and eats normal food. 🤷🏻♂️
