I’m convinced that the government has no idea what’s good and what isn’t. In my life eggs were good, bad, good, bad. Wine was bad, good, bad, good. Bacon bad, good, bad, good. Just eat moderately and keep your weight reasonable.
If what you put into your body was bad why do alcoholics seem to live forever? I know and have known several who made it into their nineties. Is it because they ate the right fats? I doubt it.

Alcohol is a preservative;-)
Most people also know smokers that lived long lives. They are outside the bell curve.
The gov’t has been wrong about fat/cholesterol/carbs since Ancel Keys ignored his own evidence and promoted the heart/cholesterol myth/hypothesis.
For some reason not well understood, a fair percentage of alcoholics have arteries as clean as a ten year old. One theory is that the liver’s metabolic pathways are so skewed by the alcohol that cholesterol production is impaired. Another theory says the metabolites of alcohol attach to cholesterol and make it less likely to be deposited in arterial plaques. The truth is they don’t really know.
