In my 62 years I’ve seen “Salt will kill you” , “Coffee will kill you”, “Meat will kill you”, “Soy will kill you”, “Sugar will kill you”, and these have all been debunked and sometimes ‘rebunked’. Call me when someone says “Tobacco isn’t so bad.” Then I’ll know that science is back. Until then, it’s politics.

I think medical research showed that it prevents Alzheimer’s disease — but they think its negative impacts outweigh the positive ones.

False, for reasonable dosages. The supposed science was based on a high glycemic diet. On low carb, you may need more. Furthermore, by telling people to avoid salt, people reduced their intake of iodine (which is added to table salt), and this is causing widespread mistested, misdiagnosed, mis-treated hypothyroid problems.
> “Coffee will kill you”,
Coffee per se is net beneficial for most people. Others need to avoid it.
> “Meat will kill you”,
Pasture-raised and finished will not kill you. The supposed science to the contrary is usually cherry-picked data spun by researchers with a vegetarian bias. That said, hormone-laced, antibiotic-laced RoundUp-laced feedlot meat is another story entirely (and one having nothing to do with the meat per se).
> “Soy will kill you”,
Slowly, and by several methods. Fermented soy may be OK.
> “Sugar will kill you”,
Absolutely: added refined sugar, esp, refined (synthetic) fructose is the #2 problem in health today (#1 is wheat).

Guess what the ebola serum is made from.

Food and health guidelines have been business (big pharma) and politics for about 100 years now. The fatal advocacies of the USDA are a direct result of McGovern’s lust for a legacy. All the American Affliction Associations advocate diets that keep you in need of the meds sold by the members of their Boards.
We are our own in deciding what to eat. I suspect the readers of this forum can handle that responsibility.
