As well, the US government like to support certain industries; for example you should search "King Corn" and "Prescription for Disaster" videos.

This "conspiracy theory" makes absolutely no sense. Who is "influencing" the researchers to argue that saturated fats are bad? Certainly not food companies, who have to go to great expense to ensure consumers will not consider their products "unhealthy". In other words, you've got it backwards.

The US Department of Health loses billions and billions of dollars every year treating obesity-related illnesses. Why in the name of God would they spend billions on anti-obesity measures if they were ineffective?

Well, for starts, because you haven't even presented an "argument" other than to suggest that I am wrong, and the majority of the scientific community is also wrong.... and yet you have not stated WHY I'm wrong, nor have you shown any real insight into this topic at all.

When Wayne Gretzky tells me what makes a great hockey player, I listen. When Tom Hanks explains the intricacies of acting, I listen. When Stephen Hawking talks about quantum physics, I listen. That's because they have 10+ years of education, they're paid hundreds of thousands of dollars to research this topic every single day, and they are considered by their peers to be the world's leading researchers on this topic.

So yes, they're infinitely more qualified than "any old doctor," who spends his days diagnosing ear infections and sprained ankles... university-funded researchers conduct controlled experiments specifically related to this topic, they review the findings of others, and they do that shit every single day for their entire careers.

It's pretty amusing to me that you are able to completely dismiss the opinion of three universities and two national public health organizations without any shred of counter-evidence whatsoever. Man the fuck up and support your argument and then at least you won't just be trolling and wasting my time.

Area 51 was a secret US military operation. The lunar landing was a hoax. The Republicans assassinated JFK. Now the American Heart association is "spreading misinformation and propagating myths"...

Answer me this one simple question: why the FUCK would an organization dedicated to CURING DISEASES OF THE HEART propagate LIES and spread MISINFORMATION? How is it in their interests at ALL? How do they benefit from this? Why are they doing it? Who is supporting it? It's completely illogical.

Anyway, it really doesn't matter if you want to ignore the quotes from the AHA and the ADA... because you're still left with the other 99% of the world's nutrition and health researchers recommending the same thing.

Anyway, at the end of the day, you haven't really even said why saturated fats are fine and dandy... let alone provide a single piece of evidence to support your claims.
