> lies/bad science about cholesterol & saturated fat being unhealthy

Are you saying cholesterol and saturated fats aren't unhealthy? I'm confused.

Yes, check out this report from Credit Suisse that sums up the state of the art research on the topic: https://research-doc.credit-suisse.com/docView?language=ENG&...

Bottom line is saturated fat is not implicated whatsoever in any negative health outcomes.

From the article: "A proper review of the so called “fat paradoxes” (France, Israel and Japan) suggests that saturated fats are actually healthy and omega-6 fats, at current levels of consumption in the developed world, are not necessarily so"

That probably means a whole ton of marketing material touting Omega oils has to be thrown away.

Just as an aside: This document is interesting. Not saying it isn't valid but I'm just wondering why a bank produced this. It's not just an economic forecast of the health foods market. It's an entire breakdown of the nutrition. Who is the target audience? It looks like the work of some consultants possibly

It turned out eating high cholesterol foods didn’t lead to high cholesterol after all.
