It's nothing short of astonishing that the diet-heart
hypothesis ever became so universally ingrained as fact for 40+ years on the back of nothing more than an idea and the strong-arm of academic mobbing silencing the many dissenters. The tide is indeed turning, but I'm a little less optimistic than some. Never underestimate the ability of unchecked runaway capitalism to steer public opinion. The might of Big Tofu is formidable, and driven by religious idealism (Seventh-day Adventist's Church, their billionaire disciples
and commercial bed-partners).
History will tell the story that the saturated fat hokum was humanity's single most cataclysmic blunder. We are MADE of the stuff for crying out loud!
