But you have to be wary of the interpretation of these “studies” or observations.

Eskimos - they are freezing cold. They need fat.

I’ve read about wrong interpretation of Eskimos regarding “fish oil”. I think that’s what it was - or maybe it was just wrong. Basically it was saying there is no special power about fish oil, despite the craze with some study.

And that data is from 2017 to 2020. Just think what the post-Covid numbers must look like. Something like 40 percent of Americans said they gained weight during Covid according to reports I’ve seen.

When someone tells you they believe that then they are also telling you that they believe in “calories” and, as you should know by now, dietary calories are magic. Its all transferred from your stomach to elsewhere through conversion to phlogiston. They cant tell you, the uninitiated, about the secret mysteries they claim to know so much about.

The Food Stamp program was run by the USDA. All dietary guidelines put forth by the USDA were meant to lower the costs of the program, not for the health of the citizens.

“paleo diet”
Never have I seen anyone recommend a low fat meat. Paleo diets are about getting calories from fat.

I'm in my 3rd week of recovery from a quadruple bypass. I'm 76 with NO medical history, always eaten whatever I wanted and not overweight (maybe a little) .

It was my first time in ER and the first time ever in a hospital bed.

The Dr. told me there was absolutely nothing I could have done different to prevent my heart attack.

I've only taken over the counter medication and Vitamin C.

I haven't consumed milk or cheese for 70 yrs.

Why Vc? 60 yrs ago I cured blood poisoning with mega doses of Vc...BTW, no Covid, no jab either.

One fat coveted by people the world over is bone marrow. I’ve always loved the stuff.

“Fat makes you fat” is a brilliant piece of propaganda. It fooled a lot of people for multiple decades. It still is quite powerful.

Amazingly my wife and MIL still dutifully cut away the fat from any piece of meat on their plate. They are totally brainwashed that fat is bad for you. I always ask them if I can have it and they look on horrified as I wolf it down.

The both of them have had many medical issues and are always seeing doctors. At age 60, I've only seen doctors for routine physicals (and reluctantly at that), and have never been a patient in a hospital ever, nor had a prescription drug.

The same logic can be used for cholesterol. In the absence of dietary cholesterol, your body will simply manufacture it as it is needed for the body to function (as is fat).

So I have no problem with eating multiple eggs a day with real butter and lots of chicken livers as well. The more cholesterol you eat, the less your body will have to make.

You do, thats true.

In fact, most recent studies have shown
anything the government paid them to find.

I dont think that it was ever the fish in the fish oil so much as they was a mnemonic tool for the average reader to remember Omega-3.

Now they dont want you to eat fish. No meat except for ze boogs. Omega-6 is good enough for the rest of you. If you prove yourself to be a entertaining pet maybe theyll give you a little boost of calming flax.

Your body uses enzymes in the small intestine to break down the fats you eat into simple fatty molecules. These molecules then circulate in the bloodstream and are assembled like building blocks into body fat where needed. Or at least that’s the gist of it, I think.

I know that when I went on Weight Watchers back in ‘07’ I did very well in losing the extra pounds by cutting out almost all fat but when I started to get off the WW, I had a hard time digesting things like red meat with fat, anything fried or gravy, etc. My stomach would get upset. I have had problems ever since. Coincidence?

Whenever I eat a ribeye, I eat the big chunks of fat.
Not sorry at all.

———Basically it was saying there is no special power about fish oil, despite the craze with some study.

The current FDA guidelines were the result of one study by Amstel Keyes. So what?
