Changing Attitudes on Fat in Our Diet

[Razor Shines]

I was crystal clear in advocating not going by my opinion. I would never think you would take my medical opinion over your cardiologist's. I was saying that all Doctors are human, even the very best. Tens of thousands of mistakes/bad judgements are made daily by them worldwide. One of all Doctors biggest issues with patients is that they don't come into visits with prepared questions.

By all means do what your cardiologist tells you, but continue your own education and don't be afraid to question your Doctor. He's not God. Would you do everything your financial planner tells you just because he/she has more knowledge of finances? I merely suggested askin g other Doctors the question (without prefacing the other Doctor's opinion first) about the usefulness of fish oil supplements. Keep in mind that I never said anything about it's effectiveness in reducing cardiovascular disease, but responded to your statement that they had zero positive effect on a healthy body.

You're completely comfortable out on that limb saying that his Doctor isn't God?

Yeah, that limb is pretty strong.

115 yr old eats bacon everyday:

"You know what she does, she eats bacon," Jones' Goddaughter Valerie Price told PIX11 News last year, shedding light on how Miss Susie has lasted so long. "She eats bacon every single morning. Now I don't advocate that because I don't even eat it myself but that's what it is."

You go with the best information that's out there from one year to the next, knowing that more information will be revealed. You're guaranteed to get some things wrong, but you keep learning.

Part of me agrees with you, but the "McConaughey character from True Detective" part of me thinks maybe most of it is just a big circle. You think you are learning more but you're really just following a curve that will bring you back where you started over and over again whether we're talking about eggs, fish oil, carbs, fat, whatever.

My great uncle ate about a 12 oz slab of fried fatback every day for lunch. Never saw him without a stogie in his mouth.
He farmed 80 acres with mules his whole life, and could do 1 handed pullups on a door when he was 90. Lived to 103.
