If you think the "low fat" promoters are dead and buried, think again:
Bacon and cheesecake 'alter brain like heroin'
If the study reads anything like the article that supposedly summarizes it, it is one of the most flawed pieces of crap that I have ever seen.
The potential problem is that government my decide that high-fat food is "bad" or "dangerous to human health", rather than the true culprit, high-simple-carb food such as sugar and blanched wheat flour.
Make aboslutely no mistake about it, corporations and their lobbyists own congressmen lock, stock and barrel. If the sugar, ceral and grain corporations feel the truth threatening them, they'll get their polticians to obliterate the truth by either making it illegal, or, like cigarettes, taxing it so that it becomes unaffordable. For example, using the flawed study described in the article above, I can easily imagine polticians making mayonnaise - a food I now absolutely adore - illegal. (Bacon and cheese might be next on the list.)
I can't help but notice that the study was carried out at the "Scripps Research Institute in Florida". Florida just happens to have within its borders some of the largest sugar-producing corporations in the world, as well as a huge citrus industry. Exactly where did the money come from to perform the study?
Will the poltical system that has kept competing Cuban sugar out of the US for 50 years (and promoted the low-fat craze of the early 80's that has gotten the poplation so overweight) now go after high-fat food?
The "good food" corporations have got to pony up and ratchet up the fight against their enemies. If they don't do that, I fear we're going to going to be paying a lot more for our good food, if it is still available at all.
