If the FDA says it’s good or bad, you must believe them even though they are for sale to the highest bidder.
Same thing happens with the “food pyramid.”

That idiotic food pyramid was at odds with what I was taught about nutrition in High School. I always wondered why they couldn’t figure out why people were getting so fat.
Seemed obvious to me- Grandpa always used corn/grains to fatten up the cattle. There were even studies and articles about it back during the depression-curious researchers wondering why poor people weren’t skinny. Then came McGovern’s Committee and the Pyramids-Grain Lobby out did the meat Lobby maybe?
There was actually an episode of The Good Wife about the cheese industry and the food pyramid.
