I remember the whole Butter Vs Margarine fight back in the 60s/70s.
I always asked the same question.
"How can margarine, made from oil be better for you than butter, made from milk?"
Never got an actual answer to that so continued to go with butter. A few year ago they said "oops we were wrong about margarine all along".
There are many many examples of that.
The banning of DDT was driven by a NOVEL not by facts. None of the things they claimed ever actually happened.
To me this implies that different people will absorb more or less calories from the same food of the same portion size cooked the same way.
DDT was driven by lies.
If you were to ask me, ok you didn't, well a small amount of animal fat is essential, big amounts are harmful. The body is not highly sensitive to vegetable oils but these can be dangerous when rancid which happens easily. The worst is palm oil, a major industry created by the anti-cholesterol movement.
Yes,the DDT scare was different, there was no data behind it at all, not even fabricated or selected data. An example of the power of good story telling.
(going from memory here, speaking of brain) This whole thing got started by the 7-nations study. That was a study that tried to link eating animal fat with heart disease. The problem was that there was a lot of data (nations) omitted that didn’t give the desired study result. When you add those other nations back in you can see total data scatter – no correlation.
What?!?!? Government was wrong again? The NIH... reminds me of the "State Science Institute."
Time for surf and turf... Yep, a lobster smothered in drawn butter and a great big juicy steak.
Mmmm good!

Remember the old days when a 1/4 lb. hamburger was huge? Now it's a snack. We've been so conditioned to eat from the "government approved" food silo, er, pyramid that we now have to eat more of these foods that metabolize into sugars - and had to eat more of it (Supersize Me!) to think we're satisfied - we've given ourselves an epidemic of diabetes and obesity that was uncommon 50 years ago and almost unheard of 100 years ago. Add that to our currently sedentary lifestyle, and there ya go.
