Glad you brought up your friend in the 2nd bit there as it seems to have become relatively common for some people to make food delivery services a very regular part of their lifestyle without really paying attention to the staggering amount of saturated fat they are ingesting even from the majority of "healthy" options available on these services (nevermind the even worse fast food options)
Of course this has always been a thing with prepared restaurant food (just listen to various comments Anthony Bourdain made over the years about restaurants and butter use) but I'm somewhat convinced the friction removal of having these foods delivered at nearly any time of the day is going to cause an uptick in middle age heart disease in a group of people who are going overboard in trading money for time without thinking of the long term consequences.
- SoftTalker 10mo agoSaturated fat is not the demon we've been lead to believe for the past 30-40 years. Sugar is. And there's a lot of sugar in prepared food too.
- malfist 10mo agoI think you'll find scientific consensus isn't on your side here. The American Heart Association certainly doesn't agree with your assessment
- SoftTalker 10mo agoThe American Heart Association has a huge investment in a narrative they've been pushing for 40 years.
- fogzen 10mo agoRandomized controlled trials show LDL consistently drops with lower saturated fat intake, and randomized controlled trials show LDL strongly correlated with coronary risk. It’s one of the best-established causal relationships in nutrition science. The American Heart Association’s narrative is based in observed clinical relationship between saturated fat intake, LDL, and coronary events.
- Aurornis 10mo agoExcess sugar and excess saturated fat are both bad. There’s been a big social media push to turn saturated fat into a good thing, but everything I actually read in the research still points to excess saturated fat being a bad idea.
