I completed my new to-go-to book about debunking the myths about unhealthy animal fats and healthy plant seed oils that have assaulted the food regimens around the world and caused a global pandemic of obesity, diabetes and coronary heart disease from the US and Cenntral Latin America over Europe and the Middle East to India, China and much of the Far East. Whereever SAD, the Standard American Diet, raises its ugly, candy-sweet head, it causes - in the end: murderous - troubles and deaster for populations' health levels. Its by Nina Teichholz (think I earlier linked a video of her), and was 8-9 years ago the top of the NYT bestseller list. A compelling read, exposing the criminal energy behind all that fraudulent science as well as erratic science that forgets too often about its intrinsic problems like publication biases, and other factors corrupting science. "The method of science is the method of bold conjectures and ingenious and severe attempts to refute them", wrote science philosopher Karl Popper. Since 3-4 years I am now diving deeper and deeper into the field of ecotrophology and according medicine, but what I see there is that some of the most profound and basic principles of scientific methodology get - mostly intentionally - violated over and over again (or just take Covid vaccine and policy justification, for that matter...). Industrial profit greed and 7th-Day-Adventist sectarianism add to the overall mess.
Science is in deep, deep troubles - and not just since Coiivid, but it already started decades earlier. The worrying fact is that science and politics conspire to propagate politically wanted goals because politics also gets fundamentally corrupted by corporate interest - and beyond that gets mainly run by stupid amateurs not knowing nothing about anything. The Big Fat Surprise - Why Butter, Meat & Cheese Belong in a Healthy Diet, by Nina Teichholz, Simon&Schuster 2014, ~480 p. ![]()
