I'm not seeing links to the numbered evidence. The book I linked "The Big Fat Surprise" is a breakdown of the bad science that has been the mainstream dogma for years. One good example is the seven countries study: > The major flaw with this study is that Ancel Keys had access to data from 22 countries but discarded the 15 countries that did not fit the hypotheses he tried to prove. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Seven_Countries_Study https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Seven_Countries_Study Nutrition science has been basically captured since the 60s. This story regarding the sugar lobby's influence on recommended diet was on hacker news just a few weeks ago. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16202171 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16202171 > Many health authorities The timing of these authorities recommending a low fat diet, coincides with an upward trend of obesity related diseases. > What's the evidence for that being healthier? Grass fed beef for instance contains more Omega fatty acids, and vitamins. Mixed farming replenishes minerals in the ground--thus producing foods with more nutrients in them. Food grown this way also tends to need less chemical input and is often grown organically as the soil is healtier--and thus the plants are healthier. All of this and more is in the second book I linked "Deep Nutrition."

I'm not going to pay $14 and read through 512 pages just to verify a citation, and I somewhat doubt that the book is where groundbreaking research is being published.
