Saturated Fat
Challenging Decades of Nutritional Dogma
Saturated fat has been demonized since the 1970s, blamed for raising cholesterol and causing heart disease. However, this view is increasingly challenged by modern research. Multiple studies—including some that were suppressed for decades—show that replacing saturated fat with processed seed oils may actually increase heart disease risk, not reduce it. Saturated fat from whole food sources like meat, eggs, and dairy appears far less harmful than once believed, and some research suggests it may even be protective in the context of a low-carb diet. The real culprits appear to be the combination of high carbohydrates with processed fats, not natural saturated fats eaten by humans for millennia.

The Low Fat Diet Is Genocide
Conventional dietary guidelines promoting low-fat, high-carb eating are founded on flawed, cherry-picked science, leading to soaring rates of obesity and Type 2 diabetes, while decades of research confirm that saturated fat does not cause heart disease.

This paper argues that restricting carbs should be the first-line diet for diabetes because it quickly lowers blood sugar, improves key health markers, and often reduces medications—without proven long‑term harms comparable to drugs.
