This is the primary benefit of this forum as the shared n=1 experiences enable all to try, evaluate, adjust, adopt or move on. Yes, half a century of misinformation starting with the erroneous diet-heart hypothesis where the recommendation to eliminate fat started the wheels in motion with food manufacturers creating concoctions in support of these flawed recommendations. The media drumbeat followed despite being as uninformed as the rest. The population is starting to get smarter and recovery for some has occurred, but misinformation is rampant while health issues increase in real and social costs. As mentioned before and the cited study in the article is a good example, we must learn how to discriminate when we read claims or supposed conclusions, and it's hard for most to do that. People rely on experts to sort through this, and that's not a bad thing, but we must choose our experts wisely. I would submit that expert advice coming from a magazine or other media source where a specific type of audience and related advertising supports their business should be examined closely.
