My bad--I was confusing points 7 and 2. Although I have my doubts about 2.

What most people didn't realize about the low fat diets was: The gallbladder actually needs fat to function properly after a meal and in order to compensate for the lack of fat manufacturers added more sugar to their foods, which in turn made people fatter.
The problem with fat isn't so much the fat as it is the type of fats... we make and eat a "healthy" butter where we take a pound of butter and mix it half and half with a healthy fat source like Almond Oil (ummmmm).... my husband (who eats eggs six days a week) had a cholesterol of 156 and LDL is 86 and he still has his gallbladder (as do I). The reason for adding the almond oil is to offset the omega 6 in the butter with a healthy omega 3 oil. Balance out your diet with more Omega 3's and everyone will be a lot healthier.... BTW Olive Oil is an Omega 9 -- a monunsaturated (healthy) fat... avocado's fall into the Omega 9 category as well.
Best to stay far away from a lot of the cheap fats and stick to real butter, almond, walnut or grapeseed oils, olive oil, etc..... and stay away from Canola Oil.
I have a problem with that... to be blunt, the FDA has little credibility with me these days. They allow too many things through because of testing by the very people making the product instead of independent tests (with nothing to gain financially).
The FDA reversed their decision because of many studies printed in the New England Journal of Medicine. It was junk science.
I actually save my bacon drippings to cook my eggs in.
Did I mention my cholestrol is fine?
I use olive oil and real butter and some animal fat
>>Please note that of the 10 listed, one of them (the DDT hoax) cost the lives of millions of people who could have been helped but weren't because of a bogus study and do-good-ism.<<
But hey, it got rid of the "excess population".

The last sentence is a bit of a non sequitur. The people who fear trans fats don't do so because they're fats per se. They believe trans fats have other deleterious effects. (And since CSPI/PETA/etc foisted the trans fatty oils on us to get rid of lard, I'm not sure those people aren't correct). Thinking's theorem: if liberals came up with an idea, it will eventually be proven wrong.
Same here. They NEVER worried about what they ate, never heard of cholesterol, high blood pressure, yada, yada, yada,... Kind of makes your wonder how the human race survived.
Because that would take away the power issue they want to use to subjugate us carbon-serfs.
Real food will, and should, rot. If it don't rot, it's not food.
BTTT
Ever wonder why poor folks are so fat? processed food. Its cheap for the consumer because its cheap for the merchant. It will stay on the shelf for years and it will make you fat. eating Kraft mac and cheese everyday will pump you up!
Hydrogenated oil was invented for shelflife abd nothing more. It doesnt taste better and it isnt better for you. Sure it makes a flakey pie crust, but so will cold butter
I love the twinky experiment. Some teacher has had a twinky in his classroom for like 25 years and it is only now showing a few tiny green specks
Zackly. Rotting is just digestion outside your body. If it won't digest outside, how is it supposed to digest inside?
