Sugar is cheap and the food manufacturers love how they can use sugar to make thousands of very profitable products. The damage is done. So many people with sugar addictions now, including me. It is a tough habit to break with so much of it everywhere. I love sugar but know all too well how bad it is for our gut, brain and liver health.
Also: recently food corporations CEO’s are attempting to negotiate with the drug companies that are producing weight loss drugs that kill appetites. I heard that one on Bloomberg morning radio Europe last week.
Lots of good info here. Thank you for connecting the dots and spreading the word about the plant based diet propaganda. I also appreciate how informational you are while being level-headed. The truth, or absence of, is outrageous. I'm riled up just taking the info in. Wow.
Protein contains essentiwl amino acids, natural fats that aren't made in a laboratory contain essential fatty acids, but, what do carbohydrates contain? Well it depends if it comes from fruits, vegetables, or refined products that also came out of a laboratory
I remember the lies, when we ate Pop Tarts, margarine, Molly Mcbutter, Sara Lee pound cake, Pasta, Cherrios etc, gets me sick thinking how we listened to these CRIMINALS!!!, both my Father and Brother died of a heat attack following Doctors orders.
So many people caught in the crossfire of this mess - myself included. Glad the truth is coming out- hopefully in enough time to save ourselves and future generations. They should turn the healthcare tab over to Big Sugar!
Heart disease is the number one killer of people today and cancer is number two. Being over weight is the number one factor leading to an early death. People who are over weight have higher risks for high blood pressure, heart disease, diabetes and cancer. Even children today have signs of artery disease. Fast foods and sugary drinks have long term consequences. There is an obesity epidemic today where over 60% of the population is overweight or obese. What is common today and "NORMAL" is not healthy. The average person today is not healthy and is taking medications. Heart attacks were once only common in people over 65. Today people in their 40 are having heart attacks. Add more plants and vegetables to your diet and less junk and overly processed foods
It’s weird that during the 40s they ate nearly 3000 calories/day and even ate a lot of sugar but were slender. I think sugar must interact with other stuff to make people fat
you made no mention about flour, starches in food, grains, pasta, bread etc. 'Sugar' is no just about soda and donuts. Please include the full meaning of 'sugar' in metabolic disturbaces that drive disease. Most people are not aware that ALL flour/grain based foods are on the list of the reason for the pandemic in diabetes.
I feel like every study out of Harvard or the Fancy Colleges should be reexamined thoroughly 😅 At this point I’d rather hear new research from a community college than these now woke shit shows 😂
A couple of years ago I heard a financial analyst say that if Beyond Meat had 100% of the total addressable market they still wouldn't be profitable. Now you know Bill Gates' business plan. Keep in mind that he approaches everything like JD Rockefeller.
Well sue!! Start a class action law suit! Won't have an issue getting people on board ... hell I would be one!!! But to just push info on people with no guided purpose that gives resolve ... is just talking out the side of your neck !!!!
Mike, in this video you've mentioned pasta as a carb which as you know is different than sucrose...i think your explanation here is muddy. Meaning the distinction between sucrose consumption and baked good/ Ultra processed food consumption is not clear at all.
Xylitol is great, for oral health It keeps mouth at neutral pH, so you dont get cavities, nor gum disease I found out from Dr Ellie Phillips A dentist Xylitol helps heal dentin Or, it did mine
I'd argue sugar isn't unhealthy per se, it's our body's reaction to excess sugar, which leads to unfavourable health outcomes. And yes i practise IF, high protein, unprocessed/low processed whole food (meat included) diet
Look into it, it competes for other nutrients, can result in inflammation, and weaken terrain. Yes, you can find that if you end up sick, it is advised not to have an excess of sugar, or you may be sicker for longer.
Nothing wrong with organic sugar. After about 4 years of carnivore i had to add in sugar and carbs. One year later I'm feeling much better. I have more energy, no more constipation, no more hospital visits for gut and low electrolyte issues, no also disturbances etc. carnivore diet helped for a few months then it was all bad after. I thought i was just "healing". Nope, the beef was causing IBS and leaky gut or at least it wasn't healing those things.
@@MichaelSalo That's because you get all your info from one side of UA-cam. I'm not talking about packaged store bought junk. When I was no carb and no sugar with no history of anything adverse they told me I was borderline diabetic. The liver has to work to convert your food to glucose. When you eat sugar you give your liver a break. That's over simplified as there's more that happens like cortisol goes down, you gain weight etc. I was way too thin on years of carnivore. I developed a skin fungus on carnivore. My kidneys almost failed on carnivore. I could not sleep. I developed tinnitus, leaky gut and a few others. Now I'm back to my healthy former self. I eat mostly home made carbs, chicken, cheese, milk and fruit. There's nothing wrong with carbs and organic sugar.
@@mikieemiike3979 There are multiple factors in your story. There's a difference between carnivore and keto. Both diets avoid or eliminate sugars because they have no value. Plants have other benefits and effects.
@@MichaelSalo I did both. Keto first for 1 year, then I went strict carnivore in 2019. I quit carnivore about 1 year ago due to the previously mentioned. There's been countless people that I come to find out dealt with similar adverse affects. I tried everything from upping the fat to increasing salt and supplementing electrolytes. Been there done it all.
Sugar is obviously bad for our health. I'm not clear on why you are so down on plant-based diets. Blue zone populations are predominately plant-based. Study after study shows the health benefits of a plant-based diet. I'm not saying you should not eat meat, just don't understand your issues with plant-based diets.
Just think about how much effort and impact on the environment when row crops replace pasture grass land. We humans need an animal based diet. I tried all the diet types hyped by various idiots who proclaimed we were omnivores or vegetarians or whatever and every time my health suffered at every level. Now at the age of 73 I feel great and want to hike and exercise and I sleep well. I am no longer fat with a bmi of 18. 20 months ago it was 27 and now weigh what I did in high school,-42#. There are no studies that you refer to on how healthy a plant base diet is for humans. There were a lot of bogus meta-studies such as the 7 country study put out by Ansel Keys which was proven to be a bunch of malarky . Here are some of my issues with the plants. They caused me so much gut pain,gas,bloating and contributed to a lot of fat to accumulate around my hips and belly. I couldn't heal from injuries such as cuts and I bruised easily .On the meat diet I healed fast and seldom got bruising from working at a very physical job in USN shipyards and ships. Visceral fat was an issue as well as kidney stones and girds which went away on meat. Greasy meat was the best. Never felt weak and could work longer hours and seldom got sick. I hope you give carnivore a 30 day try. You might find out what we all found out: You were lied to about what is a Proper Human Diet.
The research supporting plant based is just as corrupt as the sugar research. Mary Ruddick (not carnivore) travels the world investigating diets and exposing blue zone lies. Jesse Chappus had her on recently...
@@MichaelSalo it's just misunderstood. People think sugar causes diabetes.. when in fact it's the inability of sugar to be used. Imagine if you see an oil leak under your car.. and every time you add more oil it leaks more... Well the solution is not to stop putting oil in your car .. the solution is to find and repair the leak.
@@MichaelSalo if your car says "low oil" and Everytime you refill the oil a giant puddle appears underneath your car... You don't say "well I guess I just won't put oil in my car" you figure out where the leak is happening and repair the system. In the same way, diabetes is not caused by sugar but rather the inability to use sugar. Fix the system, not the symptom.
Both of you only know how to Google and read things that agree with what you want to believe. If you really cared about the truth, you would try really hard to find things that disproved what you want to believe. If you searched diligently and found nothing, then maybe your belief is correct. But if you didn't look at all, then your "fact" amounts to religious belief. Start with a medical textbook that explains human biology, including the fact that the human body can make any sugar that it actually needs and does not require exogenous sugar. But you won't even consider looking up anything that challenges the things you want to believe, will you?
@@Ge1Ri4 My experience with keto started in 1992 when I followed Dr Mauro DiPasquale's "Anabolic Diet" which is a cyclic keto diet and I achieved great results. I was keto for over 10 years and I did carnivore for 13 months before I ran into issues. Keto diets are great fat loss protocols but they are not magic. Tell us, why does the body have so many backups(cortisol, epinephrine, norepinephrine, glucagon) to make glucose? Because you will die without it. Your body will sacrifice it's own tissue and organs in order to make glucose if it is not available. Long-term metabolic stress(long-term ketosis) is not conducive to a happy body.
All our health issues is from over consumption. People know and can see the effects of bad dient, accountability is important. We have a society that wants to blame the candy company, and then we also have people in society that want to do unhealthy weight acceptance at the end of the day it's all about accountability and our freedoms. You are free to eat as much as sugar as you want, but nobody is footing the bill for your health issues.
You have missed the point dandy. Why humans ingest sugar/carbs and can't stop eating it is because the chemistry doesn't allow our brains to get the message that we have eaten enough. Look it up. Our food scientist working for the food companies know how to get humans addicted to the concoctions that they put in those processed foods. Doritos are a good example of how it works. Put a bit of sugar and salt along with some spices,deep fry them in corn oil and add chemicals such as MSG into a previously common corn chip and many people will get hooked. I remember the first time I saw a tube of Pringle baked potato chips. It was on my ship while in the USN about 1972. My shipmates were crazy for them and ate a lot of them. Even back then I didn't eat junk food such as this stuff. I did try one when offered it. I took a bite and then let it sit in my mouth for a minute. Looked at the sailor who gave it to me and stated: Was that a joke? Do you really like this crap? I pulled out a hunk of beef jerky and offered it to him.I said to him here's some real food. This guy kept eating those Pringles and before 3 months passed his back went out on him and had to be sent back to the US for treatment. We were on a cruise in the Mediterranean Sea with the Sixth Fleet. Thinking back on it I'm sure it was the junk food that was wrecking his joints. The chow was bad back then but its worse now. Many can't stay in because the have become obese on all the carbs and lack of protein and saturated fat in the food being served on the ships. I used to take a lot of beef jerky to sea with me and almost never ate any of the bread or pasta or salads that were everyday fare on the enlisted mess deck. When we had drug dogs come on board a year before my enlistment was complete the dogs focused on my locker and my bunk. Three of them got sent back for training because they were after my beef jerky,lol. I told the handler that maybe they should pick a breed not so focused on food like the beagles are.
Neither is the problem! But if you eat a high fat diet, you will not be able to eat sugar! Fat blocks insulin receptor sites. I can eat sugar because I eat a low fat diet and eat my sugars/fruits first thing in the day before I have had any fat. My grandma literally went off her insulin after not being able to stomach fats anymore because of her cancer. She ended up only being able to eat fruits, juices and cream of rice cereal and within some time had to totally stop her insulin injections. And please most people think of sugar they think of a donut or cake which is also loaded in butter, dairy or seed oils. Neither cane sugar or animal products are the problem, but eating them together is going to cause problems. And of course, the more muscle and fitness you have, the more you can handle a piece of cake once in a while or a regular pizza. Damn. So sick of vegans and carnivore crowd being such black and white thinkers!
This is about an individual's greed not capitalism.... Your statement is a bit of an over generalization. Socialism has just as many examples of individuals greed.
I don't get why you want to mislead people on this one topic. They figured out sat fats and cholesterol were indeed unhealthy in multiple other studies. Driver of obesity is sat fat consumption. I know for experience.

Oh the breakfast sugar highs I had as a 5 year old. Back then i I had no idea.
30% of calories from sugar!!! Did Dentists pay for part of this!
It should be stated in the click bait that this applies to probably 80+% of all studies that generate a profit .
Sugar is cheap and the food manufacturers love how they can use sugar to make thousands of very profitable products. The damage is done. So many people with sugar addictions now, including me. It is a tough habit to break with so much of it everywhere. I love sugar but know all too well how bad it is for our gut, brain and liver health.
Love this channel. Really professional high quality science, good job!! Hi from Italy 👋
Well, Monday Santo made up the food pyramid so very little surprises me.
It only took 48 grand to perpetuate a lie that most people still believe to this day 🤦
Not surprised at all…
Also: recently food corporations CEO’s are attempting to negotiate with the drug companies that are producing weight loss drugs that kill appetites. I heard that one on Bloomberg morning radio Europe last week.
Lots of good info here. Thank you for connecting the dots and spreading the word about the plant based diet propaganda.
I also appreciate how informational you are while being level-headed. The truth, or absence of, is outrageous. I'm riled up just taking the info in. Wow.
Thank you 🙏
Protein contains essentiwl amino acids, natural fats that aren't made in a laboratory contain essential fatty acids, but, what do carbohydrates contain? Well it depends if it comes from fruits, vegetables, or refined products that also came out of a laboratory
Vegetable oils are primary drivers of chronic diseases.
No they're not lol.
@@bennyboy776 Yes they are lol.
vegetable oils are bad but not as bad as sugar...
Scientists like politicians can be bought, and often are.
There are only few who distinguish plain rice (polysaccharide) from table sugar (disaccharide).
I remember the lies, when we ate Pop Tarts, margarine, Molly Mcbutter, Sara Lee pound cake, Pasta, Cherrios etc, gets me sick thinking how we listened to these CRIMINALS!!!, both my Father and Brother died of a heat attack following Doctors orders.
It just makes me sick
So important to get this information out there! Thank you so much, Mike, keep it up!
So many people caught in the crossfire of this mess - myself included. Glad the truth is coming out- hopefully in enough time to save ourselves and future generations. They should turn the healthcare tab over to Big Sugar!

You might want to look into every other piece of medical BS that came out in 1965. I think you will find it fascinating
This is really sad.
These scientists have blood on their hands.
I remember John Yudkin's book about the dangers of sugar.
an expert who was corrupt. what a surprise.
Heart disease is the number one killer of people today and cancer is number two.
Being over weight is the number one factor leading to an early death.
People who are over weight have higher risks for high blood pressure, heart disease, diabetes and cancer.
Even children today have signs of artery disease. Fast foods and sugary drinks have long term consequences.
There is an obesity epidemic today where over 60% of the population is overweight or obese.
What is common today and "NORMAL" is not healthy. The average person today is not healthy and is taking medications.
Heart attacks were once only common in people over 65. Today people in their 40 are having heart attacks.
Add more plants and vegetables to your diet and less junk and overly processed foods

Well sugar and red meat (any meat raised in modern ways) are a big big problem ..
Don’t forget Ancel Keys paid off too
You should name these people by name so they can be called out.
This is criminal on a Nuremberg scale imo
I honestly dont think either sugar or sat fat is the issue either way
Good thing big ag does not try to obfuscate health harms from eating animal based products 😮
troll harder
Wow, only 50000 dollars?
That $50k is equivalent to $5,500,000 in today's $'s.
Good to know that Harvard has always been a joke
It’s weird that during the 40s they ate nearly 3000 calories/day and even ate a lot of sugar but were slender. I think sugar must interact with other stuff to make people fat
Today people eat almost double the amount of sugar people ate back then.
Big sugar lol wtf. Everything is sugar free now
Sugar free, fat free and low Sodium. So why are people still sick and fat eating this tasteless crap?
@@rey3472 everyone on fucking keto, high fat high protein is the reason why everyone is fat
@@rey3472because the alternatives have chemicals that are worse than sugar in them.
you made no mention about flour, starches in food, grains, pasta, bread etc. 'Sugar' is no just about soda and donuts. Please include the full meaning of 'sugar' in metabolic disturbaces that drive disease. Most people are not aware that ALL flour/grain based foods are on the list of the reason for the pandemic in diabetes.
Nefarious right from the start.
Eating healthy means the economy fails. That’s the problem.
But.... But....I follow the science.
I feel like every study out of Harvard or the Fancy Colleges should be reexamined thoroughly 😅
At this point I’d rather hear new research from a community college than these now woke shit shows 😂
A couple of years ago I heard a financial analyst say that if Beyond Meat had 100% of the total addressable market they still wouldn't be profitable. Now you know Bill Gates' business plan. Keep in mind that he approaches everything like JD Rockefeller.
Well sue!! Start a class action law suit! Won't have an issue getting people on board ... hell I would be one!!! But to just push info on people with no guided purpose that gives resolve ... is just talking out the side of your neck !!!!
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
Mike, in this video you've mentioned pasta as a carb which as you know is different than sucrose...i think your explanation here is muddy. Meaning the distinction between sucrose consumption and baked good/ Ultra processed food consumption is not clear at all.

Sugar is not unhealthy neither is saturated fat, is the combination of any of these with excess calories
Crisco is cottonseed oil
Its like eating cotton?
Xylitol is great, for oral health
It keeps mouth at neutral pH, so you dont get cavities, nor gum disease

Xylitol helps heal dentin
Or, it did mine
💪🏿💪🏿
Bruh your like 8 years late on this story haha.
all these studies are about "ultraprocessed foods", not sugar
I'd argue sugar isn't unhealthy per se, it's our body's reaction to excess sugar, which leads to unfavourable health outcomes. And yes i practise IF, high protein, unprocessed/low processed whole food (meat included) diet
Unfortunately a lot of people don't have the proverbial off switch. It's like giving just one small nip to an alcoholic and tell them that's it
It's not just the added sugar that's dangerous, but the modified starches in ultra processed food products that's metabolically toxic.
Look into it, it competes for other nutrients, can result in inflammation, and weaken terrain. Yes, you can find that if you end up sick, it is advised not to have an excess of sugar, or you may be sicker for longer.
😦
Nothing wrong with organic sugar. After about 4 years of carnivore i had to add in sugar and carbs. One year later I'm feeling much better. I have more energy, no more constipation, no more hospital visits for gut and low electrolyte issues, no also disturbances etc. carnivore diet helped for a few months then it was all bad after. I thought i was just "healing". Nope, the beef was causing IBS and leaky gut or at least it wasn't healing those things.
I have never heard of sugar having any benefit. I suspect there is something else to your case.
@@MichaelSalo That's because you get all your info from one side of UA-cam. I'm not talking about packaged store bought junk. When I was no carb and no sugar with no history of anything adverse they told me I was borderline diabetic. The liver has to work to convert your food to glucose. When you eat sugar you give your liver a break. That's over simplified as there's more that happens like cortisol goes down, you gain weight etc. I was way too thin on years of carnivore. I developed a skin fungus on carnivore. My kidneys almost failed on carnivore. I could not sleep. I developed tinnitus, leaky gut and a few others. Now I'm back to my healthy former self. I eat mostly home made carbs, chicken, cheese, milk and fruit. There's nothing wrong with carbs and organic sugar.
@@mikieemiike3979 There are multiple factors in your story. There's a difference between carnivore and keto. Both diets avoid or eliminate sugars because they have no value. Plants have other benefits and effects.
@@MichaelSalo I did both. Keto first for 1 year, then I went strict carnivore in 2019. I quit carnivore about 1 year ago due to the previously mentioned. There's been countless people that I come to find out dealt with similar adverse affects. I tried everything from upping the fat to increasing salt and supplementing electrolytes. Been there done it all.
I like to hear more from you about what you're eating
Sugar is obviously bad for our health. I'm not clear on why you are so down on plant-based diets. Blue zone populations are predominately plant-based. Study after study shows the health benefits of a plant-based diet. I'm not saying you should not eat meat, just don't understand your issues with plant-based diets.
Just think about how much effort and impact on the environment when row crops replace pasture grass land. We humans need an animal based diet. I tried all the diet types hyped by various idiots who proclaimed we were omnivores or vegetarians or whatever and every time my health suffered at every level. Now at the age of 73 I feel great and want to hike and exercise and I sleep well. I am no longer fat with a bmi of 18. 20 months ago it was 27 and now weigh what I did in high school,-42#. There are no studies that you refer to on how healthy a plant base diet is for humans. There were a lot of bogus meta-studies such as the 7 country study put out by Ansel Keys which was proven to be a bunch of malarky . Here are some of my issues with the plants. They caused me so much gut pain,gas,bloating and contributed to a lot of fat to accumulate around my hips and belly. I couldn't heal from injuries such as cuts and I bruised easily .On the meat diet I healed fast and seldom got bruising from working at a very physical job in USN shipyards and ships. Visceral fat was an issue as well as kidney stones and girds which went away on meat. Greasy meat was the best. Never felt weak and could work longer hours and seldom got sick. I hope you give carnivore a 30 day try. You might find out what we all found out: You were lied to about what is a Proper Human Diet.
The research supporting plant based is just as corrupt as the sugar research. Mary Ruddick (not carnivore) travels the world investigating diets and exposing blue zone lies. Jesse Chappus had her on recently...
Sugar was demonized (and still is) in the SAME way cholesterol, salt and saturated fat were.
At least there exists evidence of a plausible case against sugar.
@@MichaelSalo it's just misunderstood. People think sugar causes diabetes.. when in fact it's the inability of sugar to be used. Imagine if you see an oil leak under your car.. and every time you add more oil it leaks more... Well the solution is not to stop putting oil in your car .. the solution is to find and repair the leak.
@@MichaelSalo if your car says "low oil" and Everytime you refill the oil a giant puddle appears underneath your car... You don't say "well I guess I just won't put oil in my car" you figure out where the leak is happening and repair the system. In the same way, diabetes is not caused by sugar but rather the inability to use sugar. Fix the system, not the symptom.
@@elliotthelms4206 The Virta trial has showed us how to fix the system.

Google, Ray Peat and sugar
They will not do that. When your business is based on demonizing sugar and fruit, you will not search for info that says otherwise.
Both of you only know how to Google and read things that agree with what you want to believe. If you really cared about the truth, you would try really hard to find things that disproved what you want to believe. If you searched diligently and found nothing, then maybe your belief is correct. But if you didn't look at all, then your "fact" amounts to religious belief. Start with a medical textbook that explains human biology, including the fact that the human body can make any sugar that it actually needs and does not require exogenous sugar. But you won't even consider looking up anything that challenges the things you want to believe, will you?
@@Ge1Ri4 My experience with keto started in 1992 when I followed Dr Mauro DiPasquale's "Anabolic Diet" which is a cyclic keto diet and I achieved great results. I was keto for over 10 years and I did carnivore for 13 months before I ran into issues. Keto diets are great fat loss protocols but they are not magic.
Tell us, why does the body have so many backups(cortisol, epinephrine, norepinephrine, glucagon) to make glucose? Because you will die without it.
Your body will sacrifice it's own tissue and organs in order to make glucose if it is not available. Long-term metabolic stress(long-term ketosis) is not conducive to a happy body.
It’s all about balance. You can have sugar. Just don’t over do it.
What is a balanced amount of added sugar in the human diet? Historically the balance would be zero.
All our health issues is from over consumption. People know and can see the effects of bad dient, accountability is important. We have a society that wants to blame the candy company, and then we also have people in society that want to do unhealthy weight acceptance at the end of the day it's all about accountability and our freedoms. You are free to eat as much as sugar as you want, but nobody is footing the bill for your health issues.
You have missed the point dandy. Why humans ingest sugar/carbs and can't stop eating it is because the chemistry doesn't allow our brains to get the message that we have eaten enough. Look it up. Our food scientist working for the food companies know how to get humans addicted to the concoctions that they put in those processed foods. Doritos are a good example of how it works. Put a bit of sugar and salt along with some spices,deep fry them in corn oil and add chemicals such as MSG into a previously common corn chip and many people will get hooked. I remember the first time I saw a tube of Pringle baked potato chips. It was on my ship while in the USN about 1972. My shipmates were crazy for them and ate a lot of them. Even back then I didn't eat junk food such as this stuff. I did try one when offered it. I took a bite and then let it sit in my mouth for a minute. Looked at the sailor who gave it to me and stated: Was that a joke? Do you really like this crap? I pulled out a hunk of beef jerky and offered it to him.I said to him here's some real food. This guy kept eating those Pringles and before 3 months passed his back went out on him and had to be sent back to the US for treatment. We were on a cruise in the Mediterranean Sea with the Sixth Fleet. Thinking back on it I'm sure it was the junk food that was wrecking his joints. The chow was bad back then but its worse now. Many can't stay in because the have become obese on all the carbs and lack of protein and saturated fat in the food being served on the ships. I used to take a lot of beef jerky to sea with me and almost never ate any of the bread or pasta or salads that were everyday fare on the enlisted mess deck. When we had drug dogs come on board a year before my enlistment was complete the dogs focused on my locker and my bunk. Three of them got sent back for training because they were after my beef jerky,lol. I told the handler that maybe they should pick a breed not so focused on food like the beagles are.
Neither is the problem! But if you eat a high fat diet, you will not be able to eat sugar! Fat blocks insulin receptor sites. I can eat sugar because I eat a low fat diet and eat my sugars/fruits first thing in the day before I have had any fat. My grandma literally went off her insulin after not being able to stomach fats anymore because of her cancer. She ended up only being able to eat fruits, juices and cream of rice cereal and within some time had to totally stop her insulin injections. And please most people think of sugar they think of a donut or cake which is also loaded in butter, dairy or seed oils. Neither cane sugar or animal products are the problem, but eating them together is going to cause problems. And of course, the more muscle and fitness you have, the more you can handle a piece of cake once in a while or a regular pizza. Damn. So sick of vegans and carnivore crowd being such black and white thinkers!
It's always been about balance. The problem these days is that most are in camps and are imbalanced.
Beef industry pays for carnivore promotion. That's how it goes. Every company pays to promote. They "fund the findings".
This is why capitalism doesn't work on a large scale.
This is about an individual's greed not capitalism.... Your statement is a bit of an over generalization. Socialism has just as many examples of individuals greed.
I don't get why you want to mislead people on this one topic. They figured out sat fats and cholesterol were indeed unhealthy in multiple other studies.
Driver of obesity is sat fat consumption. I know for experience.
Excessive calories and not enough exercise causes obesity. But people heard that fats were bad, and so went wild on carbs and sugars.
