You should investigate who paid for the "research" on which this documentary
is based.

I think we've all managed to watch documentaries about food history and
what was considered good and bad for us at one time or another.

I remember my mother being told in the mid 1980's not to eat eggs
because of cholesterol. It was later proved eggs didn't really have
anything to do with it.

Mom bought margarine not because it was allegedly better healthwise but
because it was less expensive. When I was growing up we only got butter
at holiday dinners. Thanksgiving, Christmas. She'd inevitably forget
to set the timer and burn the dinner rolls but hey, we got real butter! LOL

They probably considered the diets of the people who had heart issues
and linked their diets and egg consumption to their coronary problems.
It may have been more about the number of calories from all the fats
and salt in their diet. People who are eggs usually had bacon or sausage
with it, both high in salt and fat.

My mother tried to foist margarine on us because it was cheaper than
butter. My father was a country boy, used to fresh home made bread and
churned butter and margarine was a major fail for him. Butter made a
quick return.

Margarine was pretty bad back on the 50s. It was even less appetizing
because, thanks to the dairy lobby, it could not be the same colour as
butter. It was white and came with a little dye pack and you had to add
it and mix it in colour the stuff yellow.

As "hard-up" as my parents were, we never had margarine in the house,
always Danish or NZ butter. My grandmother went one step further and
would only have butter made by a local farmer.

Danish butter is pretty good, as are most Danish agricultural products.
When we went there for the first time I read number of travel books
about the country and they consensus was that Danish food was basically
fish, meat and potatoes. No doubt there was a lot of that, but by golly
the butter and cheeses were top quality. Breads and pastries were
incredible. I was enjoyed them at the breakfast buffet and saw something
that looked interesting and tried it... vienbrot. I thought I had died
and gone to heaven. It was the most amazing pastry I had had in my life.

Not a single word about refined carbs and sugars. No distinction
between good and bad fats. You should at least find a second opinion
about this, and not simply assume all medical specialists keep
themselves up to date or even agree with each other.

Slather the populace with governmental guidance on what´s good and bad.
Occasionally, reverse positions. To hell with genetics. There´s a
"nutrition" industry to support and graft to gather.
But that´s just me.

I think that, unless you smoke, lifestyle is about 50% of it all. The
rest is genes and maybe luck.

I buy into that, however smoking is a lifestyle. The sudden toilet paper
shortage, here last year, really opened my eyes. When the supply chain
sputters for more than two months, people who are dependent on
pharmaceuticals will start to die in large numbers.
Those with better adapted genetics won´t...yet. Darwin and all. Everything
one thinks they know won´t mean squat during a true supply chain
crisis.

Yes, but I think that if you smoke, your lifestyle might play a bigger
role than 50%. So many smoking men (especially) died young in the 70s
and 80s. I doubt that would have happened if they'd never smoked.

I doubt that we'll ever have a long term supply chain crisis.

Not just you and you nailed it. Especially on genetics. Most still
assume one size fits all when it comes to nutrition.

They explained how the 2 eggs/margarine theory came about, assisted by
huge amounts of money that created the American Heart Assoc. so that
is why they have never spoken against it.

Increasingly type 2 Diabetes was taking over and they have now shown
that jettisoning that old theory is starting to decrease the number of
type 2 that need insulin anymore, bonus side effect of staying away
from carbs was weight loss as well.

I can't find corroboration, but apparently the animal farming industry.

Any time one of these things comes along, "follow the money" is good advice.

Yes, maybe that's where the kooky "Saturated fat isn't bad for you
after all!" movement comes from.

Everything they said seemed more than accurate, backed up with photos
of people walking streets prior to that and now, striking the level of
obesity now.

Based on your extensive scientific research background?

Photos are anecdotes, not data.

Since agriculture took off as a way to reliably put more food into hungry
bellies, most people have eaten a lot of carbohydrates, and they have
always sought to refine those carbohydrates. Perhaps the modern problem
with obesity isn't just one thing. Perhaps it's the plain and simple fact that
we are not evolved to have an abundance of available calories at the
expense of very little effort.

Mark Hyman and Nina Teicholz might be right, but Hyman has no credentials
as a researcher and Teicholz is a journalist. They have found a way to monetize
their fringe medical beliefs.

"Based on your extensive scientific research background?" Just saying

You just disqualified yourself by implying 'calories' are all the

Jesus Christ. It's been long established now, since circa 2012 I

John Kuthe, better than everyone else...
