How did an entire generation get tricked into thinking mass consuming hydrogenated vegetable oil was a healthier alternative to using less butter?

>> No.12675955

I remember that being the marketing game back then, yes.

Butter and butter-fats were EVIL. Margarine GOOD.

80's baby here. There was a HUGE trans fat thing that blew up back then. Everything had it and according to marketing, those where what caused cholesterol and heart issues. Margarine took full advantage of that and proudly labelled themselves the healthier trans-fat free low calorie option to butter "with the same great taste you won't believe".

Being hyper thin and bouncy and aerobic fit was the peek desire and we all jumped onto that train.

Fast forward to today: My aerobic queen of an aunt has horrid knee problems and my mother suffers from heart disease despite her margarine slathered trans-fat-free lifestyle.

Fully hydrogenated is healthier. It's PARTIALLY hydrogenated that contains trans fats and is less healthy.

The diet crazy of the 80s that took out all the fat in the food endorsed fake food like margarine. Now when you take the fat out of food, it tastes like shit, so they replaced it with fillers like sugar/corn syrup.

Now everything has too much sugar in it and diabetes rates have exploded and obesity is worse than ever.

Oh shit guys, the vegetable oil from the grocery store comes with another one of these. It's gonna kill you faster than butter.

Most cultures cherised animal products when they were harder to come by and not as readily available. Once they became cheap and everyone could have them every day, people just started eating too much and getting sick. So people came up with plant alternatives and said it's healthier because it's from plants, instead of addressing the overconsumption issue which is harder for most people to do.

Okay guys, I want to know if there are any LEGITIMATE truths about types of fat and health. I see so much contradiction that I dunno what to think. There was the big cholesterol scare a couple decades ago but now people are saying that cholesterol levels are mostly linked to your genes. Should I really be eating super lean meats? Are trans fats actually fucking killing us? What should I even believe?

>> No.12677018

Trans fats will kill you dead. Saturated fats aren't that great for you, lower your consumption replace them with unsaturated fats and not carbs. Most importantly, don't be fat.
