MORE information about fat in your food (see "Dairy fat") - this author confirms what many of us have noticed for years, that food advice changes continually and is often not reliable. The fact that the government put it out there does not inspire more confidence.
"In fact, the dietary advice we’ve been given for the past half century, they say, has created the perfect storm and near-ideal conditions for an obesity epidemic." Fat in the diet was blamed and demonized, and refined carbs or sugar often replaced it.
But the demonizing of fat, sadly, led to increasingly fat people. "Since the 1970s, obesity has increased by 200 percent, and diseases related to obesity and diabetes are currently responsible for the deaths of two out of every three Americans."
