Default When it comes to diet one size does not fit all

The WSJ (author Nina Teicholz) published an article on this report. the abridged version is that Dr. Ancel Keys 1950's studies on saturated fats affect on our heart's health were greatly flawed. The WSJ summed it up by saying 'personal ambition, bad science,politics and bias derailed nutrition policy over the past half century." For instance Keys ended up landing a key spot on the nutrition committee of the American Heart Association. Note Nina Teicholz has been researching dietary fat and nutrition fro over 10 years.

In addition another study found that people over 65 need more protein and found eating more meat etc is needed.

When it comes to diet we are all different. A Harvard Study some years ago posit that there are three types when it comes to issue of fat excretors , compensators and storers and that it is the latter group that has a problem with saturate fat.
