I tried to comment on an article in the forum and ended up writing a thread length response. I can't take me anywhere!

When I set off to investigate FDA recommendations for vitamins and minerals, there seemed to be so much wrong I got lost in the bunny hole metropolis. Below, some of those digs wound up in a long post on a related forum thread.

I will just exerpt it. I think the part some might be interested in is portions of information from a Brian Cates article.

In the General/Chat forum, on a thread titled How the ketogenic diet improves healthspan and memory in aging mice, ransomnote wrote:

My comments stem from an article by Brian Cates titled:

What If Everything They've Been Telling You About Food:

Is...WRONG?

"Have Our Trusted Health Authority Figures Led Us Astray? And If So...What Can We Do About It?" ransomnote: Cates's article features the 'food pyramid' and other nutrition topics which seem to indicate that we've been deceived across the board. I've posted some information from his article below. According to him:

You were given bad information by government and medical authority figures on 7 dietary subjects:

1. Cholesterol levels

2. Salt/mineral levels

3. Protein levels

4. Animal Fats

5. Fiber

6. Seed oils

7. Meal frequency

ransomnote: here's a tweet from him.

and then this from over 100 years ago:
