SATURATED FAT LIES
- Nina wrote a book on this – check it out here
- Since the 1960s, people have been following the advice not to eat sat fats
- In the last 50 years, scientists have looked at this data
- There have been tons of meta analyses that show that even this data is BS
- Not linked to your risk of heart disease or heart attack
- Yes, they may raise LDL but that’s not inherently bad
- Many Harvard studies funded by vegetable oil industry –> biased
- Coconut oil is NOT BAD for you
- In fact, it is good!
- Entered US market in the 50s
- Soybean and other vegetable oil corporations were angry about this
- A stunt to keep out foreign competition
- Case to be made that the sat fat lies are due to a trade war
- Good to use in manufacturing and don’t cause inflammation like many others do!
- It’s awful because this trade war has made so many unhealthy
- Many who have decided these are bad for you find they can’t go back on it because of the psychology of going against your life’s work
- Effort to shore Ancel Keys’ work up in an effort to make themselves feel better
- Studies also use too small a sample size for those who are low carb
- If people are still fat after 60 years of following these dietary guidelines, maybe it’s the guidelines that are the problem
