It's not meat and dairy; it's meat and dairy...with carbs. It's why societies that only ate saturated fat we're fine until they started eating carbs. Then they started dying off and getting diabetes.

Steak and eggs are not bad for you. Steak, eggs, toast and pancakes will kill you.

Define "fine"? Calcified atheromas are even found in Inuit mummies.

If you're trying to eat a diet that's not atherogenic, you'd drop eggs and especially red meat, and you'd include carbs like beans and broccoli.

I don't think I've ever met someone doing a keto diet that didn't eat an obscene amount of broccoli and other brassicas. But yes, beans generally don't make the cut.

Anyone stating a truth like this around nutrition is over confident, if not completely disingenuous. No one has a complete picture of this.
