This is the root of the problem.
Take the whole "saturated fat is unhealthy" thing.
Here's what happened:
Study finds that unsaturated fat is healthier than saturated fat, but all fat is associated with lower mortality vs carbs.
Repeated as "unsaturated fat is healther than saturated fat".
Repeated as "saturated fat is unhealthy".

We don’t seem to win by fighting against this characteristic, so I’m getting more curious about how to adapt to/with it.
