Amusingly, most of the people I know who are into things like high fat, red meat heavy, paleo/keto diets are also into things like intentionally getting way too much sun - and like with the diets, there's always some lobbying industry keeping the "real" medical information from us.
I suspect most of them will have heart disease and skin cancer when we're in our 60s.
