The studies I quoted to demonstrate the effect wasn’t Framingham, I cited the Oslo study and WHI. I just used Framingham as a means to say our dietary fat consumption has actually been increasing.
Your insistence on a double blind study is pretty hilarious. How do you double blind a study on diet? Jesus. Think.
Not given the choice? You think the government follows people around the grocery store telling them what to buy? Everyone has choice. Doctors are trained to discuss diet, but adherence to diet is poor and it’s barely a treatment, considering dietary recommendations are almost entirely preventative. Poor food choices aren’t necessarily cheaper. In fact, they’re often more expensive.
Go ahead. Let’s hear it. Are you going to talk about corn subsidies? 40% of US corn production goes to feed livestock. What are you actually referring to? Or are you just repeating talking points and lashing out to hide this.
I didn’t ask for hundreds. You apparently don’t have any.
How do you do a double-blind study on diet? Wow, you are that lacking?
Look, the Framingham diet results do show support for a low-carb diet.
I'll look into the Oslo study, but I know I'l find many flaws. A study that attributes heart disease to saturated fat is decidedly mono-fixated and agenda-driven and ignores other environmental factors. I say that because dietary cholesterol is insignificant in body chemistry and proven science has shown that the liver makes the vast majority of cholesterol in the body, I remember reading it is like 95%. In addition, cholesterol, LDL, HDL, are required and vital brain health molecules.
I'm not sure what you lack in understanding. Companies that make our food supply, the processed foods, and the grain subsidies into processed foods, the financial pressure they place on corporations for high grain foods (as per the recommendations) are somehow not occurring in your mind?
Tell Me, if the grocers in America provided nothing but high protein and fat products and only a tiny amount of processed food, that the people would chose processed foods over meat?
It is ridiculous to think that the American food supply is not awash in highly processed grains and foods that almost exactly match the My Plate recommendations.
There have been HUNDREDS of threads on this forum alone that lament how unhealthy foods are easy to get and cheaper than healthy alternatives. Even the left acknowledges that.
