My docs told me back then to eat margarine with trans fats instead of saturated. Also told me eggs were killers; they backed off of them too. Seems to me most times the gov't jumps onto some "study" and tells the people what to consume it turns out bad. Same with carbs.

as a comsumer i can say what the government is feeding me is pure sh**

A doctor told me once, “Medicine suffers from fads just like everything else. Suddenly a type of procedure is popular; all the rage. Everybody is doing it. Then after hundreds or thousands of operations we determine that it doesn’t do anything for the patient.”

I remember when eggs were good. Then they were bad. Then they were good again. Well, I have news for you. Everything you do to excess is probably bad for you. You can even drink too much water.

If they do a study and find that tofu causes cancer would all of California kill themselves? (I’ll donate $100 bucks if somebody wants to do a study on tofu.)

The French don’t eat transfats or partially-hydrogenated stuff. They eat pure butter. They manufacture the transfats and partially hydrogenated stuff and sell it to us and we slurp it up.

Center for Science in the Public Interest

I once read a book called The Food and Drink Police, and they had a chapter on this group (CSPI). These people in that group are certifiable. And I read that book years ago, so I can only assume they have become more crazy, not less.

Michellecare is coming out next. But don’t worry: If you like your supermarket you can keep your supermarket.

Lots of examples of major policy implementations based upon poor studies...

Also told me eggs were killers.
Yeah, if you eat half a dozen a day, with bacon and sausage.

Polyunsaturated fats and Statins to decrease Heart disease.

BS on both counts.

I prefer cis fats myself, never took to the trans isomers.
