Agreed. It is complicated shit. It really is. I actually minored in "Community Health" with Engineering as a major. Dont ask me why. It was the early 80s and I had Pat Benatar on my mind
But I am a bigger dummy than most young people who seem to have a grasp on this stuff. Back then they didnt know much tho in terms of PRACTICAL nutrition.
In the 70s margarine was considered good and butter bad. Certainly hydrogenated oils ARE the worst thing you can eat for real. Clogs the arteries ect. Vice versa olive or grapeseed or even cannabis (hemp) oil is actually very good for you. Think it is legal in Canada.
