But how do you define 'original'? in 1956 the American Heart Association announced that a 'diet which included large amounts of butter, lard, eggs, and beef would lead to coronary heart disease'. Not just meat! See also the enormously influential study and conclusion by Ancel Keys. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ancel_Keys https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ancel_Keys. His seven countries study stressed the dangers of cholesterol and fat.
It's interesting that Keys, credited with discovering the Mediterranean Diet, died at the age of 101.

- superpermutat0r 7y agoPeople living over 100 years old obviously have huge genetic factors that allow them to have unhealthy habits (or at least unhealthy for the normal person). I mean, there are people over 100 that smoke every day.
- Gibbon1 7y agoparent tried bolstering his claim by mentioning the Keys lived to 100. I point out that Kummerow who did good research outlived him. Seriously Keys work is garbage. Where the publicly unknown Kummerow's research was spot on. If you don't know who Kummerow is he's the guy that finally forced the FDA to ban transfats decades after they were known to be poison.
- ncmncm 7y agoThank you, Kummerow looks very interesting. I have some reading to do now.
