On fat, the American Medical Association and the Heart Association:

The good old American Medical Association and the Heart Association promoted fat as the culprit....

I guess there wasn't a fat industry to pay for the untainted research....whereas the sugar guys could pay for their "research.."

High-fat cheese: the secret to a healthy life?

David Fuller's view

Well said, and thanks for this video: High-fat cheese: the secret to a healthy life? It is at least the secret to a happier life.  I regret the misleading diet information we received for so many years, including the 1970 & 1980s, when we were told to avoid fats.  The way food industries have funded misleading ‘research projects’ is also a disgrace, and not for the first time.  Similarly, I maintain that pharmaceutical companies have spent $billions funding ‘statins for everyone’ campaigns, and still are by some accounts.

Personally, I have enjoyed a mostly Mediterranean diet for at least the last five years and it includes plenty of healthy natural fats, but very few processed foods.  You are what you eat.
