Like a child stealthily replacing a half-empty ice cream container back in the freezer, the mainstream medical establishment is increasingly admitting saturated fat does not contribute to heart disease or risk of heart attack... THREAD
This review article was recently published, and follows the 2019 Annals of Internal medicine meta-analysis which suggested low to no evidence of red meat contributing to cancer or heart disease.
The truth is there was never any credible scientific evidence linking saturated fat (commonly found in animal foods) with heart disease.
Seventy years of nutritional gaslighting started with Ancel Keys and the fiction that cholesterol was inherently harmful, and corollary that we must replace ancestrally appropriate animal-derived fats with industrially refined seed oils. Absurd. @saifedean
In fact there is probably no one man on earth who has done more damage to public health (while intending the opposite) than Ancel Keys.
As I write in my piece The Corruption of the Human Diet, the saturated fat/cholesterol heart disease narrative has been sustained for far way past its used by date. How?
By a an unholy partnership between the Industrial Food Complex hocking toxic seed oils and Big Pharma hocking statin medications. Both industries rely on demonizing dietary saturated fat and cholesterol, and by extension the low-density lipoprotein (LDL).
It is a profitable business to tell people they should eat industrial waste (cottonseed oil, etc.) then prescribe medications to offset the harm done to cardiometabolic health through a lifetime consumption of these products.
Before someone bandies epidemiological data 'proving' the benefits of polyunsaturated oil consumption, consider the empirical reality of us clinicians who treat patients and see objective markers of metabolic health (and subjective health) improve with removal of these oils.
This thread is simply another round about reminder to rid yourself of any vestigial guilt for eating egg yolk or the fat on your steak.
Rid your life of seed oils, embrace animal fats and thrive on having a micronutrient surplus of fat-soluble vitamins and cholesterol.
I'll leave you with the conclusion of this most recent study.
SFA = saturated fat
CVD = cardiovascular disease

Grassroots, community action is and always was the most meaningful and effective solution to an industrial food system making people sick and diabetic.

✅ nutrient dense animal foods from regenerative ranches

We have a very long way to go before widespread adoption of ancestrally appropriate diet and lifestyle reduces demand for healthcare...
For the foreseeable future, the health of the majority will continue decline with continued consumption of ultra processed foods, protein deficient plant-based diets, and repeated doses of outdated mRNA tech for a circulating cold virus.
There is an ageing population and a boomer generation who have spent the past 2 decades consuming seed oils as their primary fat source, addicted to sugar and carbs and dosed on statins.

What if I told you the reason health care is so expensive, inaccessible, and at times poor quality, is because of a LACK of competition?
Government intervention reduces free market competition, which would otherwise force hospitals, health services & physicians to compete for your business and provide you a better product...
Just like cafes, restaurants, gyms or any other business in the economy.
The more you understand, the harder it is to call this anything other than a multi-billion dollar scam orchestrated by Big Pharma and funded by the taxpayer.
@MaryanneDemasi It would almost be funny if it weren't so serious. Recommending the mass injection of young children with genetic material instructing their own cells to make a viral spike protein for no appreciable clinical benefit is a recipe for widespread iatrogenic harm.
@MaryanneDemasi It's a whole new level of grift from Pharma. Seems like they whipped together a steaming pile of 💩for research (under lower EUA burden of evidence) and pulled all the favors with captured govt. bureaucrats to get their product passed off as 'safe and effective'. Diabolical.
The xeno-estrogen bisphenol-A (BPA) is lipophilic and so sequesters into fat tissue in your body. This is relevant when considering how to rid yourself of it...THREAD
