We’re all going to the slab eventually.

Modern medicine can help you get there a bit later and having had a better quality of life than you might have experienced otherwise. Nothing more.

Not only is animal fat not a good thing, but olive oil and other subs only look like a reasonable alternative because they’re replacing something far worse.

Its possible to reverse the progression of heart disease with a low fat diet in which animal and saturated fats play no role at all. Its not a matter of opinion or marketing, its been demonstrated in clinical trials. These diets have also been shown to positively affect epigenetics, telomere shortening, colon cancer outcomes etc.

I like a chunk of cheese or a slab of grilled beef as much as the next guy, but pretending its some sort of preventative rather than an indulgence is over the top.

I realize that you do believe what you post, but you have been grossly mislead.

Animal fats are the key to proper metabolism through the maintenance of permeability of our cell membranes. Vegetable fats destroy that permeability, especially poly-unsaturated veg fats.

The elevated blood glucose that results from use of vegetable oils is the proximate cause of most of the serious degenerative diseases that have popped up in modern times.

Try searching for evidence supporting the use of vegetable oils. It doesn’t exist; all you’ll find is reference to ‘studies’ that consist of much opinion, and manipulation of other’s data, but no empirical foundation. It’s all been an ad campaign from start to finish.
