Canola oil looks like a superfood when you swap butter for it in the literature.

And in the early 1990s, which is more when when the war on fats was actually happening; by the early ’00s, the diet trend had focused on low-carb diets, reversing the war on fats.

- hombre_fatal 4y agoGood point. You can find research that links saturated fat to increased blood cholesterol back in the 1950s. Perhaps it's only a reminder how much the zeitgeist may be divorced from science, or how little impact the latter actually has on the former unless it's convenient. Though that's for another discussion.
