"A possible explanation is the fact that animal protein is usually part of a bigger package of negative nutrients such as saturated fats and sodium, whereas plant based protein comes with fiber and many antioxidants."

Oh boy

"The Committee’s review of the most recent body of evidence, found that reducing saturated fat intake by replacing it with unsaturated fats, particularly polyunsaturated fat, lowers the incidence of cardio-vascular disease in adults.

Low-carb, keto, and Paleo dieters, don’t fret. You don’t need to go back to refined carbs. Try to consume healthier fats, such as those from fatty fish, nuts, and seeds."

That first one (the study) is complete garbage. FFQs, “adjustments”, small relative risks, same old crap, different day.

The second one is a travesty of justice. They didn’t even freaking review the latest meta analyses of saturated fat, and didn’t provide ANY scientific method they used. They just let their biases determine things for them.

What.

I was in way too hot places today and I feel like a zombie so I am a tad uncertain but I never heard anything like this and… Even human breast milk has a significant amount of saturated fat and sodium, that negative nutrients they are…

Oh well, my body is very very very clear what it is good for it so I don’t need to wonder about articles against saturated fat.

What that’s code for is a burger with bread, fries fried in seed oils and covered in salt, and a dose of mayo from seed oils, and a high sugar drink. The “saturated fat” and “salt” in that meal are obviously bad for you.

And if you just take a nanosecond (and I don’t mean “you”; I mean anyone) to think about this, it become ludicrous. Say you eat a ribeye, the fattiest steak. Do you get more monounsaturated fat or saturated fat? We could use ground beef too: more monounsaturated fat or saturated fat? I mean, maybe monounsaturated fat is bad for us, since that’s mainly what we’re getting when we eat meat (which is what I assume they mean by “animal protein”).

Didn’t they get the memo from 2013-2015 that saturated fat doesn’t cause heart disease?

Which it is why it is so important to pay Nestlé for a soy-based low-sodium formula, rather than feeding your baby your own milk. (We really need a sarcasm emoji, don’t we?)
