Based off bad science paid for by big sugar.

That's not the case at all. Maybe you're thinking of unsaturated fats?

Big sugar paid Harvard et al to point the CVD boner at fats instead of sugar, namely saturated. Wrong. Dr. Mary Enid correctly identified trans fats as the real problam. Funny that sugars will cause fat Genesis. A body can not accommodation make. We're suppose to hunger. Good things happen when we fast. Even the Bible gets gluttony right. This was back in a day in age when you might eat a single meal a day.

You're weighing the consensus of the medical community against a single doctor who claims that saturated fat can cure AIDS?

That is not a well reasoned position to take.

AIDS really has nothing to do with this discussion. Most scientists believe in imaginary deities. So what? Does that mean God exists? I doubt it. Moving on.

Consensus isn't science. By consensus, then olive oil is "high in saturated fats."

The major problem with saturated fats is there is no problem. There's no mechanism to explain it. It's just an association.

Dr Enid correctly identified trans fats as unhealthy decades before the consensus caught up.
