Ancel Keys manipulated data to justify his theory that low fat diets reduced the risk of heart disease and the AHA and govt agencies (USDA, FDA, NIH) adopted his theory without listening to the arguments from other medical professionals who said it would make us FAT. And it did. (Reminds me of the COVID Vax propaganda & Fauci.) It eventually influenced the creation of the food pyramid, which advocated a diet low in fat and high in grains, breads and cereals (aka sugar).

It costs $ 1 Billion a day in health care to treat Type II diabetes. It will eventually bankrupt us if something doesn't change.

Here's the real story:

Yep, the movie goes into exactly that. A diet rich in fats and veggies and a moderate amount of protein is best. This keeps your insulin from spiking. Low fat packaged foods are packed with sugar as the way to replace the flavor lost when the fat is removed.

Cholesterol isn't what causes arteries to get clogged -- it's the sugar that damages them. Once the damage is there, that's where the cholesterol gets deposited.

Potato is a veggie and it will spike your insulin and kill you.

Eat fatty meat

End of dietary advice. The rest is just tweaking for taste
