They are not wrong but they are the small exceptions. Everything has exceptions

Examples

It is said that smoking is bad for health but there are smokers who outlive non-smokers. However, on the whole, smoking is bad for health

Small studies showed fluoride is bad for health but which gov in the world has fluoride totally removed from their drinking water?

Pls samurai. Not clicking
Summary:

We can say that the high metabolic dysfunction, high omega-6 ratio in the population, and chronic diseases are significantly the result of corrupted scientists, particularly Frederick Stare at Harvard. In 1965, Stare was paid the equivalent of $48,000 in today's dollars by the Sugar Research Foundation to promote sugar as safe, claiming up to 30% of daily calories could come from sugar. He shifted blame from sugar to saturated fat while promoting corn oil and soy oil, publishing these industry-favorable views in prestigious journals without disclosing his financial conflicts.

Stare's corrupted research created a cascading health crisis. His promotion of omega-6 rich vegetable oils over saturated fats led to the inflammatory omega-6 dominance we see today. Meanwhile, his normalization of high sugar consumption while demonizing natural fats created the perfect conditions for insulin resistance and metabolic syndrome. The dietary guidelines based on his corrupted science coincided with the obesity epidemic beginning in the late 1970s and early 1980s.

This pattern of corruption continues, with scientists at Stanford and Harvard promoting plant-based diets while receiving funding from meat-alternative companies. Frederick Stare's corrupted science, funded by the sugar industry, bears significant responsibility for creating the dietary paradigm that led to our current epidemics of metabolic dysfunction, inflammatory disease, and chronic illness, proving that one corrupted scientist's influence can devastate public health across generations.

City of Calgary.
But Calgarians voted to reintroduce Fluoride into the water . City is working on doing it soon.

It also makes it easier that people LIKE sugar and enjoy sweet things.

Many nice fruits also are sweet and delicious. Durian for instance.

Strange how come the tobacco industry failed to do this cos nicotine is very addictive.

Check the latest data from the LMHR keto group.

This group has high cholesterol and showing signs of higher plagues progression. 😂

I don't mind avoiding all the refined carbs. Also keeping lower cholesterols to play safe. If you choose to do opposite, then all the best to you.

You can reduce cholesterol by eating Oreos. 😂



Dirty keto which prioritizes macronutrient ratios over food quality, often relies heavily on processed seed oils rich in linoleic acid, an omega‑6 PUFA and long‑chain fats with double bond like oleic acid which increase the proportion of small, dense LDL particles that are susceptible to oxidative modification. Once oxidized, these LDL particles are avidly taken up by arterial macrophages, forming foam cells and driving the development of atherosclerotic plaque. Some LMHR participants may also be on a dirty keto as pre-cooked meals are not provided. In this below study however, participants are given with prepared LCHF meals, and the result speaks for itself.

Meanwhile SFA approves & pushing for plant-based meat. Pinky & wife went on Facebook help promote impossible burger

Oreos full of sugar.

In the end everyone dies.

You should spend some time with the people who are above 90. No heart disease. No cancer.

But arthritis. Otosclerosis. Age related macular degeneration. Frailty.

In the end we will reach a stage where we no longer wish to continue living.

Hence my perspective on life has changed.

Live a good life. Eat and drink sensibly and with satisfaction. Do the activities that bring meaning to my life.

And hope to die a peaceful painless death when my time has come.

The oreo experiment is really rubbish. Keto group ate a lot of saturated fats so LDL shoots up. When you replace the saturated fats with more carbs, of course the LDL goes down. So its the carb or the saturated fats that drove down the LDL ?

Well that's what conventional wisdom being talking about right ? Eat more fibre and lower saturated fats intake ?

Most people eat too much saturated fats with processed foods, burgers, pizzas but little fibres ?

Doctors don't recommend cutting down saturated fats to zero. Just lower its intake.

The Oreo experiment was not about swapping saturated fat for carbohydrates. It was designed to test the lipid energy model in a lean‑mass hyper‑responder (LMHR) who was already on a ketogenic diet, lean, healthy, but had very high LDL cholesterol. For 16 days, the participant added 12 Oreos per day (about 100 g of extra carbs) on top of their low‑carb regimen. During that period, LDL fell from 384 mg/dL to 111 mg/dL.

According to the lipid energy model, when LMHR individuals have low carbohydrate stores they burn more fat which increases fat transport and raises LDL levels. By adding carbs even while remaining in a low carb framework they replenished those stores, shifted energy use back toward carbohydrates and achieved a sharp drop in LDL. In other words, the extra carbohydrates rather than a direct fat for carb swap drove the reduction in LDL.

Most ultra processed foods are loaded with polyunsaturated fats because seed oils such as soybean, corn and sunflower, rich in linoleic acid, are far cheaper and more stable for mass production than animal fats or tropical oils. Palm oil, which is semisolid at room temperature and cheaper than fully refined oils, is sometimes used and does contribute saturated fat, but by far the dominant fats in packaged snacks, baked goods and restaurant fryers remain PUFA‑rich seed oils. Claims that processed foods are high in saturated fats usually confuse them with trans fats. Trans fats are not natural saturated fats but unsaturated oils that have been partially hydrogenated to harden them, creating trans‑configured double bonds.

Moreover, not all saturated fatty acids behave the same.

life is short lah . enjoy your food.

everything in moderation. bad things , mijimise.

will you stop a kid from eating ice cream ? cake ? drinking sweet drinks?

don't be paranoid. everyone of us is different. some people eat so much cannot put on weight , but many of us as we age , eat Abit grow fat.

if life is not about enjoying, then I don't know what it is about. might as well don't eat , just drink ensure everyday like comatose people. so don't keep preaching , want to do , do something. be consistent and discipline.

For some people they are not content until everyone follows what they are preaching.

“Everything in moderation” is a convenient slogan but not a safeguard against chronic disease. Modern processed foods are engineered to override satiety signals and promote overconsumption of refined carbohydrates, added sugars, and industrial seed oils, substrates known to accelerate insulin resistance, low‑grade inflammation, endothelial dysfunction, and atherogenesis. Allowing a child unrestricted access to sugar‑sweetened beverages or ultra‑processed snacks teaches their metabolism to favor lipogenesis and may program long‑term cardiometabolic risk. While genetic variability means some individuals tolerate excess calories without weight gain, adiposity-independent harms, such as elevated oxidized LDL, nonalcoholic fatty liver, and impaired pancreatic β‑cell function, still accrue. Life is indeed short, but quality and duration both depend on preserving physiologic resilience. If your goal is genuine well‑being rather than fleeting pleasure, then choose to nourish your body rather than merely indulge it.

What is a safeguard against chronic disease?
