I never bought into the egg/meat/butter lie, thank goodness. It may have been partly because I loved all three and was in denial, but I am glad in hindsight that I kept eating eggs my whole life (and quit cigarettes). The seed oils, though, are hard to avoid. They are often contained even in organic foods -- read your labels!!
All true. You omit Big Tobacco's corruption of the medical system though. And Americans refusing to cook from scratch since the 1970s. And TV ads brainwashing kids and adults into junk food addictions and badgering their doctors into medicating them. Also, have you been in an American hospital lately? Medical providers are gigantically fat.
All the above will upset some Americans. Nevertheless it's all true. And ALL preventable.
Keys was a fraudster. He cherry picked the countries in his seven nations study to get the curve he wanted. IE the more dietary fat consumed the higher cardiovascular disease. If you plot all of the countries he had data on you get a scatter plot to is full of gibberish.
He also did a full RCT where he was able to control the diets of mental institutions patients in Minnesota in the early 1970’s. He replaced saturated animal fats in the diet with corn oil. He did reduce cholesterol but the lower the cholesterol went the higher mortality rates went up. He proved his own theory wrong. So what did the good ethical scientist do? He hide the data he never published it because it proved him wrong. Our own Federal tax dollars funded it After Keys died the data was found re-analyzed and the results published but it was too late there is a whole industry making billions if not trillions pushing statins to reduce what you’re body makes 80% of and that is used in thousands of biochemical interactions within your body. A compound that has been documented that the lower it is the higher your mortality rates are.
It’s also not just seed oils it’s the amount of highly refined sugars we consumed that was put in because without fats the food tastes bad and sugar hides this. High fructose corn syrup being the worse of all sugars given how the body metabolizes it which is only in your liver just like alcohol and it’s how you get kids who have never drank alcohol with fatty liver disease something only seen in drunks before
the 1st step in healing BV/FTD, (Same dx as Bruce Willis in 2012 declining rapidly was going on a high fat high protein diet. I've always been very sensitive and haven't been able to eat processed foods since I was young, but my question is bigger than that. When are you gonna do something about Bill Gates? Most of us are pretty aware that he's one of the bigger problems and the biggest threat to USA health . I love what you're doing, but maybe go for the bigger fish. You don't have much time.
Your chart brilliantly captures the history of lying about food and heart disease. However, without a second hump, the disease curve doesn't substantiate this assertion: "But as seed-oil consumption kept climbing, heart disease began to rise again, especially among younger adults."
Ik eet nu al 20 jaar extra vierge kokosolie en extra vierge palmolie dat vol zit met vitamine A en E. Kokosolie is een verzadigd vetzuur dat verboden was, omdat het het cholesterol zou verhogen. Niets is minder waar. Mijn hart is super gezond en ik ben fit, energierijk en sport ondanks mijn 90 jaren.
Back in the day, home economics class addressed this and many other home issues, cooking, etc! Now we have apps like “Yuka” to help us weed through the forest of label information! Thanks
An interesting, if controversial, perspective. America's health has declined since the government became involved in the nutrition guidelines business, primarily based on much of this now-faulty data. We are still not teaching people (or doctors) how and what to eat, and until we do, starting early, MAHA's top-down, blame-industry-first approach will never succeed.
Just avoid margarine, although it's not "petroleum-based." You have choices. Margarine came about over concerns about saturated fat in butter. Consumers have choices. So do you.

Good stuff, Cate!

Everyone needs to be educated to read the food labels and reject processed foods with chemicals and little nutritional value. https://thomasabraunrph.substack.com/p/decoding-processed-food-labels
Fix the myths! Trash the hype and get back to real health.
GREAT INFORMATION! Thanks!

Love the article, love the comments. Boils down to, how to make money and kill off the population growth.
With the addition of all the chemicals and heavy metals through are food supply, the medical industry is making Billions.

Inspiring! Thank you.
More nutrition-focused PCP's, HOOYAH!

What about giving us margarine which is petroleum it started with Rockefeller of course all our Pharma is petroleum-based
