Omega-6 fats are too plentiful, while trans fats have been reduced, recently.

Omega-3 is needed more and saturated fats are reasonable to have.

Research argues that heart health guidelines on saturated fat are outdated<

Outdated. So they were once right but now it's different because humans changed. Or... maybe ... the right word isn't "outdated", it could just be that the medical wisdom of the last 70 years is just plain old "wrong" and needs to be looked at objectively again, finally.

“Ancel Keys published a study that introduced the “lipid-heart hypothesis.””

And when he kept being proven wrong, he bullied his opposition into submission. In the end, he’s responsible more early deaths than Hitler, Mao, Stalin, and possibly even Putin*. And to think that we’re still on the upside of this his mass killing...

The only difference between saturated fats and unsaturated fats is the temperature at which solid fat melts. Chemically the body makes no distinction between the two.

Well...this IS interesting..

“Newport and Dayrit pointed out that Keys erroneously conflated the saturated fats found in meat and dairy with the harmful industrial trans-fats commonly used in margarine and shortening. Keys also included coconut oil in the warning.”

The original studies which led to the push to severely limit fats in Americans’ diets were financed by the SUGAR industry!
This was picked up by Government do-gooders as a basis for policy. Needless to say, the policy makers had no background in science, and uncritically accepted the ‘findings.”
Low fat food just does not taste as good as healthy items such as quality Prime or Choice meat, butter, whole milk, and eggs, so our diets were pushed toward high sugar content processed foods. The FDA even renamed low quality “standard” grade beef to the current psyops term “Select,” and producers had to greatly reduce the herds of cattle bred for the best, highly marbled Prime and Choice meat to produce tasteless dry “Select” grade meat.

This is the true background to Americans’ “Obesity Epidemic.” Of course Well Meaning Dieticians and “Nutritionists” were and still are are, taught to follow the government mandated guidelines. Have you ever tasted hospital “Heart Healthy” food?

For those who do not know it, Cholesterol is produced in and regulated by our own livers. Dietary cholesterol play a very small role. Healthy rich meat, eggs, milk and butter promote better physiology.(and less craving for sweets.) Foods with high sugar content and/or industrial fats and oils have largely created our obese sedentary generations.

Thanks, Gub’mint!
