Despite a growing scientific consensus that dietary fat doesn’t cause disease, the medical establishment continues to contribute to the global epidemic of obesity and type II diabetes by promoting low fat high carbohydrate diets.

A Power Elite Analysis of the Nutrition Industry: “Science and Politics of Red Meat in 2021”
Nina Teicholz is a New York Times bestselling investigative science journalist who has played a pivotal role in challenging the conventional wisdom on dietary fat. Her groundbreaking work, The Big Fat Surprise, which The Economist named as the #1 science book of 2014, has led to a profound rethinking on whether we have been wrong to think that fat, including saturated fat, causes disease.

What about ‘clogged arteries’?

It says:
Eat a heart-healthy diet
“Diet can play a big role in improving your heart health and reducing your risk for a buildup of plaque. It’s never too late to eat a healthier diet. Just as years of bad eating can damage your body, good eating can help heal it. A heart-healthy diet contains plenty of good fats and low amounts of bad fats.
Add more good fats to your diet. Good fats are also called unsaturated fats. They’re found in foods like olives, nuts, avocado, and fish.
Cut sources of saturated fat, such as fatty meat and dairy. Choose lean cuts of meat, and try eating more plant-based meals.
Eliminate artificial sources of trans fats. Most artificial trans fats are found in processed, packaged foods like cookies and snack cakes.
Increase your fiber intake. Soluble fiber helps lower your LDL. You can find soluble fiber in foods like vegetables, lentils, beans, and oats.
Cut back on sugar. Vitamins and minerals accompany the sugar found naturally in fruit. The sugar found in processed foods like cookies, ice cream, and sugar-sweetened beverages doesn’t have nutritional value. Too much added sugar can negatively impact your health.”
My conclusion is that diet plays a role, and I definitely try to avoid fatty meat and dairy!

Aunty, Nina Teicholz has reviewed the last 50 years of research studies trying to find a link between fatty meat and dairy and clogged arteries. The evidence doesn’t exist. This is actually a public health myth (comparable to the unsupported myth that fluoridated water prevents tooth decay) financially supported by Food Inc (for a variety of reasons outlined in Teicholz’s book). What existing research shows is that clogged arteries are more directly linked to inflammation resulting from high sugar, high carbohydrate diets.
I strongly recommend you watch the video on YouTube and if possible read Teicholz’s book The Big Fat Surprised.
