Sadly, this is why people are so unhealthy, because we eat a bunch of garbage that never existed until the 20th Century and spurned traditional food as “unhealthy”, because guys in lab coats said so.

The media just did a coordinated hit piece on Coconut Oil as being bad for you, just like ALL saturated fat. Then they said to eat things like Canola oil and other refined vegetable oils instead.

Then when you get heart disease, take some Statins, because that’s what the doctors say!

Every time the USDA has revised dietary recommendations people have just gotten exponentially sicker.

My attitude is, if they didn’t know what the food was in 1900, you probably shouldn’t eat it.

The main thing I stay away from; having fried foods with sugary drinks. For oil, I use olive oil. Butter not margarine. I also try to eat few starchy carbs (bread, pasta, potato’s, rice).

Outside that, it’s fruit, nuts, veggies, and meat - any meat. That and stay active, power walking is great with some light strength exercises.

So nothing wrong with eggs. Same for coffee :)

Not good...Statins cause bad decision making in elders...looks like Alzheimer's / dementia

When I read a new whatever where it says: “ Studies now show———”, and then it goes on to say that eggs, or butter, or some other forbidden food is good for you, I just want to scream. Where were these “scientists” when they first went off the edge saying how bad was butter, but oleo was healthy. Aarrgghhhh!
